thanks gothmum, that was an amusing read!

can't say i have any regrets about my kids' names, but dh often laments the fact that he gave his cat one of the most common pet names in the world: max. shortly after naming him he realised he should have called him wilson, but for some reason he never changed it.

look forward to hearing whether anyone's actually changed their child's name - it would be a very hard thing to do, i think.
