I’m with HG Wells’ Buggins character about girls’ names here. He said ‘If ever I was to have a dozen girls, I’d call them all Jane.’
He must have read an earlier version of the book I’ve just put down.
Give a girl an unusual name I find (no real life examples used here for obvious reasons…) and they either have more problems in life or they’re likely to be a tad more tricky to get along with. Which can make marketing to women a challenge, if you don’t take this subject as seriously as you might…
But who can blame us (or them) when you read the names listed in internet surveys as registered around the English speaking world in recent years according to Martin Manser in his funny book ‘Buttering Parsnips.’
Imagine the baggage you’d have to carry around with you if you were called…
Cigarette
Euthanasia
Heaven-Leigh
Lasagna
Latrina
Maybe
Placenta
Tequila or
Vaselina
Believe it or not, these are all supposed to be genuine first names registered in the English speaking world in recent years. As reported by Martin Manser in his book called ‘Buttering Parsnips’.
