That reminds me of a work colleague in the W Indies called S Hall. When his name was called out in public areas, like dentist's waiting rooms, there was often a giggle around the room!

Were you sin binned?
I thought you had been - I'd noticed a similar thread earlier, then nothing.
Incidentally, noticed four Jimis, but only one Sgeir.

It was the British Navy by that stage, so I never quite understood the "England expects..." stuff.
But looking at the "Mc*" surnames (usually just "Mc" rather than "Mac") there were several hundred of them, mainly from Ireland and Scotland. Similarly with other surnames like Robertson from Scotland, or the O'*, that well known family from Erin's Isle.
I'm still wondering about that surname Jimi came up with. Is he still Googling for dirty words?
