What's In A Name?
I came across a name the other day which shows that, if you marry a man from a different country, you need to be a bit mindful of the possibility of a terrible mismatch between your given names and his surname.
(I should point out that what follows isn't actually the name in question. There would be all sorts of problems regarding confidentiality and all that malarkey if I did. What follows instead is what one might call 'a parallel')
The name was 'Juanita Dorita Ferreira Da Luz...
'...Ramsbottom'.
Someone really ought to have told her.
