Thread Name: Origins: Too Much of a Name / Longest Name Song
Subject: RE: Origins: Too Much of a Name (long list of names)
This reminds me of a song Cosmotheka revived. Here is a thread about it The Baby's Name (Boer War song) , which includes the words.

And here is the chorus:

The baby's name is Kitchener, Carrington,
Methuen, Kekewich, White, -
Cronje, Plumer, Powell, Majuba,
Gatacre, Warren, Colenso, Kruger,
Capetown, Mafekin, French,
Kimberly, Ladysmith, 'Bobs'.
Union Jack and Fighting Mac,
Lyddite, Pretoria Blobbs.


I wonder if the earlier song Joe just gave us was the inspiration for that one?
