I don't get it??
We (as kids) couldn't understand why their new baby brother had such a "normal" name. I guess that given his sisters' names, we were expecting Torquil or Addonis or Elimelech or something. Not Sam

Jasmine is a common enough name now (with different variations of spelling) but back then, each of those girls had a completely unique name as far as the school goes.


In other news, at my high school we had a guy whose name was David David. Dead set - first and last names were David. No new marriage of his mother, no nothing - that was his name.

And I remember reading in the paper about a kid whose name was Andrew Peac*ck, and whose parents called him Drew. Drew Peac*ck. Say it out loud.
