Maybe parents will start to think twice before saddling > thier sprogs with strange names now. No, of course they wont. Well of course not. People appear to regard their children as accessories to enhance their own lives- and of course they do, children are the most life-enhancing thing that can happen to you. But they seem determined to stick Gucci labels on them, in the form of the name of the day... It's the New Selfishness, I guess. Can you blame them; it's promoted on all the 'reality' 'shows and in the blatts. -- Peter |
