    I thought it was a wind-up too, but I (unofficially) saw a redacted photocopy of the birth certificate. :D

    Isn't Fifi Trixibelle Bob Geldorf's daughter?

    As someone who is called after a geographical location (that few British people have heard of :)) I tend to comment when I come across others who are named after places. Overwhelmingly, however, they aren't named after a place, but a football team!

    Really? I'm trying to think of whether I've ever heard of anyone called:
    Manchester,
    Liverpool,
    Newcastle,
    Norwich,
    Swansea,
    Tottenham,
    Everton,
    Sunderland,
    Arsenal,
    Aston,
    Fulham,
    Hull,
    Stoke,
    Southampton etc

    - Don't think I've ever come across anyone.

    I've heard of people called Chelsea, though :)
