You gotta hand it to those British of yore. They sure knew how to name their kids.
According to historical records (dates in parentheses), they actually named their children:
· Nicholas If-Jesus-Christ-Had-Not-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barebon (1640)
· Lurking Crabb (1780)
· Original Bottom (1846)
· Wack Broomhead (1848)
· Fatal Frederick Grucutt (1858)
· Lethal Margaret Stothert (1875)
· Tom Dick Harry (1890)
I kid you not!
(All I can say is, I’m glad my parents named me Craig because that’s what everybody calls me.)
