[QUOTE 2624484, member: 1314"]Why are so many people from Lancashire called Martin? I’ve just noticed that they’re all over the place.

“What’s your name?” Ia ask.

“Martin.” They reply.

“Where are you from?”

“Burnley. This is my husband. He’s called Martin as well.”


...etc...what is it about that name and Lancashire?[/quote]
Best name, best county. What more needs to be said? Oh apart from Burnley is a sh*****e

So Martin's husband was called Martin as well?

To be fair we are talking about Burnley. It makes buying monogrammed or named products cheaper if you share a name.

Or was she the feminised (but, this is Lancashire, we're discussing...) derivative; Martina???

Never understood Martyns. Why ruin a great name by poncing about with it?

With it being Burnley, they probably shared the same surname before they were married as well.

I've never seen Martyn poncing about with it... goes off to check.
