my latest patent combines ceramic with hdpe
toilet bowls (and tanks) made with my impervious new material will never stain
nothing will ever stick to it
floOosh and the whole thing just disappears
the one small drawback is that accidental splashes are magnified tenfold
put some towels down until i get this figured out

@eye-of-horus-42 saidWho waits six months before deciding a name for their newborn?
@Torunn: When you're born until your parents decided for given name 'that could be six months' how are you identified ??
Most have it done before they're born.
@Ponderable saidAnd Abram - Abraham.
Of course people have changed names. So it is well known that in some tribes of the native Americans the child was given some name, that changed during the inititaion into adukthood. And maybe again at some important moment in life.
Or if you want to go into the bible, some people got new names at some point (think e.g. Yakub - Israel)
@Ghost-of-a-Duke: I disagree,as one is born has no name except a family is born into, that is family surname his first name.After that his parents decide a given name which becomes the second name.
@eye-of-horus-42 saidWith split families there are variations of the process but a first name is usually chosen early.

First name has nothing to do with what you were first called when you entered the world. First name is the name you are primarily known as. This will be your given name, not your surname.
If your primary name was your surname communication in any family household would be shambolic.

"Sorry Jones I'm nowhere near the salt."

@Torunn saidIn Quebec, when a woman married she could take her husband’s surname…now she can’t.😲
You will have a nickname, you are always called something. It's common these days to change your first name and your surname too as long as you follow the procedures.
@Great-Big-Stees saidit is not legal?

@Great-Big-Stees saidAnd the reason for this is... ?
It has been “illegal” to change her name since 1981.😲
