Re: An interesting family I came across on The Peerage
in reply to a message by Viatrix
To the tune of Noel Coward's The Stately Homes of England!
Ian and Virginia's three sons have OK names, with the rather unEnglish exception of Storm. They are a very Hopeful family, I must say. Son 2 and Jessica Pamela were very creative in their name choices. Farleigh and Winefride clash alarmingly; good thing they're separated by Elizabeth. As for Phoenix, Lockie and Star - James Ian and Victoria Flora (if you don't mind rhymes) are positively ordinary. I do respect Son 3 for confining himself to a modest three names each! Of which I only like Ian and Bernard, but then, I'm a pleb. I love, and would use, Robin Peter Ian, but that's as far as I'd go.
