What’s in a name?


Yet another thing I didn’t know about Nick Clegg is that he’s a national traitor.

In my view, we should give him 10 days to change his children’s names name to John Bull or we charge him with TREASON.
"I find it interesting that Nick Clegg has given his children Spanish names. It suggests someone who is detached from his own English heritage. Perhaps Nick Clegg would be happier in Spain? UK voters would surely come to terms with the loss.- tommy, frankfurt, germany, 22/3/2011"
A problem though. Tommy’s elucidation piqued my interest in the origin of names, and it turns out he’s bloody Aramaic and as such espouses the cultural values of central Syria! 

He’s not bloody eating here.

Moreover, searching for my own name etymology on the same website has left me upset, disturbed and not a little aroused!

  1. Ah but you notice how Tommy is in Germany?

    Clearly the ultimate patriot, he is working tirelessly undercover going by the name "Fritz" to avoid suspicion, desperately trying to overhear conversations in near-empty cafes, desperately trying to recognise words amidst this flurry of foreign gibberish, utterly oblivious to the fact the war has been over for some decades now.
