I have always though this but I regularly see the Formula One team and other plurals of what already looks like a plural being referred to as the Williamsis rather than just the Williams regardless of how many cars they are talking about

The plural should always have ‘ on the end too rather than being written as “belonging to”

Not explaining this very well but hopefully you get my drift.

He is wrong children is the plural of child so it is children's names. Names belonging to the children. Spoken language is quite often different to how it should be written.

Yes I think in retrospect that you are right but I stand by my other point :smile:

Yeah, but our's.

The eldest was born blue, so we called her Sky. The youngest was jaundiced......we called her Melanie???
Actually, it was Natalie and Danielle, believe me when I say that is not as funny

Eleanor, which means the bright one, now aged 37.
Sophie, which is Greek for wisdom, now aged 34, nearly 35.

And we took the choice of names, including the meanings, very seriously.

And David means "firkin well 'ard so don't try it on with me, sunshine...... or to be more precise, I believe it is the Hebrew for beloved or darling, which doesn't quite command the same street cred.

Sophia i guess would mean the same thing.
Eleanor is the version of the Greek Helen which has come to us through France. Our daughter was thrilled when we visited the tomb of Eleanor of Aquitaine, mother of Richard the Lionheart.

Another coincidence we spend quite a bit of time in Aquitaine :shrug:

We have a Lauren Violet who is nearly 5. Don't know why we chose it but Violet is the wifes nan's name. Christian name was my idea. it was my suggestion so I win that one. No reason just liked it and luckily it suits her.

Number 2 is arriving in July, also a girl. And discussions are currently under way. I like Charlotte. Which can be shortened She likes Grace or Gracie. Lauren wants it called Bean or Peanut as that's what its currently called.

Still have a couple of months to decide.....

I always though that Sebastian, Gervaise or St John were always good names for boy children.

We have a daughter called Florence.

When her brother was born 18 months later I wanted to call him 'The Machine' but was over-ruled.:annoyed:
