The Walrus at work	BS: British vs. American names (67* d)	RE: BS: British vs. American names	10 Jul 02
My father was Ernest Charles (and known to one and all as Ernie), my mother Emma Jane Amelia (Emmy)(her mother was Emma Jane) and I am Alfred Thomas (Tom). I'm not sure where you would place those names or their abrieviations on the list of "national" names. The only one I can vouch for, for certain is Alfred (a name I dislike [1]- and never use), which dates back to, at least, the Saxon period as "Ælfred" (and Elf counceller). Have fun Tom (Walrus) [1] When I was at Junior school, the "Batman" series was on TV with their butler "Alfred" - 'nuff said?
