I married worse!!!
I have issues

I married a real looker who turned out to be rather ugly on the inside.

Looks alone don't necessarily define a person.

At the risk of offending @RichP delicate sensibilities again...

There is a difference between historical names that reflect generations of tradition and ancestry, and those that are pain silly such as the child named after a football team

Why is that sillier? Because one is for aristocrats and the other for plebs?

Simply because one recognises the value of a family's history whereas the other inflicts the sad fixation of the parents.

Had the "Pleb" (as you have decided to classify this parent) called the child after family names then there would be no difference
 
I don't have a middle name but I've always fancied 'custard' as one, which is a bastardisation of one I nearly got. I'd only want it to see the pause for registration after I'd said it and the odd, "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

No - I haven't - I was speculating as to the reasons for the distinction you make. You appear to have bought into the idea that there is something inherently noble or 'valuable' about coming from a long line of toffs. Naming your kid after a whole team might well be pretty silly, but I'm not convinced it's any sillier than naming him or her after assorted syphilitic ancestors.

There is nothing worse than middle class envy. Especially one that is a product of political correctness. You are embarrassing yourself, even your hero Anthony Neil Wedgwood "Tony" Benn would have had no problem with......

I am surprised you have a problem. After all there is a ethnic minority in there.

Any class distinction, jaded sexual history or other sordid fantasy is entirely your own work

The epidemiology of Syphilis in the UK is more determined by age than by social class
