Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 5,200 Send Message	What were yours called? It's amazing how names change so quickly over the years, and even each decade brings new names. (Why? How?!) My great grandparents were Stephen & Clarice, Aleksander & Annette, Reuben & Eliza, and Percy & Gentina. My step great grandparents (wonderful people) were Fred & Iva, and Charlie & Frances. xxx

Wonder what names will be fashionable in 20 years, I can't imagine. 100 years ago people would have thought you weird if you called your kids Chelsea, Demi, Kyle, Britney etc.

Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 3 Send Message	Hi Taff Definitely not me! Have used the the other side of Friends and Genes but not a message board so far. As for taking the mikey, not at all that was her name and for info the stipend is only worth 75p in new money
