[Opinions] Re: Cecil campervan
in reply to a message by Janan
My father's name was Cecil; he must have been one of the last in captivity! He was also the youngest of five children, so perhaps his parents were scraping the barrel by then. One of my British great-uncles always called him Ceecil with a very long e; must have been dialectal (Geordie). I like the name, naturally. He wanted to name me Sarah Anne, after his late mother, but luckily my mother won that round; I can't stand Sarah. I would have been happy to be Cecily, but they didn't think of it.ETA: we once had a car called Cyprus Airport. There was a reason; if you're bored, try to guess!
