    changing your name is hardly going to work if they want to see your birth certificate

    Completley off topic but there is a junior reporter on our local paper called Jamie Oliver

    Surely my name 'James Potter' qualifies for a free copy?

    No, only if you also called your son "Harry"!

    according to http://www.yourenotme.com/ there are 35 Harry Potter's in the country (over the age of 18), so I *think* there's about a 1 in 3 chance* there'll be one on this forum!

    * 60,441,457 / 48,965 / 35 = 35% - that right??

    I know someone who called her son Chandler because she was a big Friends fan. And, yes, I agree. *Very* "well er um"...!
