So I suppose that in your day kids named themselves?

Thank god I missed out on that, Voltron Grayskull Smith isn't a name that goes far in business.

Unbelievable....wait, no it isn't these days.

It's an old song but you would imagine anyone called that would know of it.
If your name was Lucy in the Sky or Penny Lane you surely would've heard the songs.

Not sure if you missed the point.. allow me to clarify. You quoted 2 songs by the Beatles rather than Eric Clapton, read above comments.

I merely followed on with your example, son.

Elivis died long before Moz had a national anthem. But now I'm dating myself.

I once heard a girl(18ish) say,"The Beatles? Wasn't that Paul McCartney's old group ?"

I see this thread deteriorating into all the dirty, nasty things we've heard (or thought we heard) girls that age say. Even if it doesn't happen, thinking about it was enough for me.

Not likely someone's gonna be called Mosambique though, I would think. Mind you with someone like D Beckham you never know.



Interesting snippet of information.
I once had a dog [gsd] called Brockley cos that's where he was born.
