Names

Anecdote

Three people with odd names that I've known:

Robin Hood
He played darts with my dad. Aside: given the legend, how did Robin get to be a female name in the USA?

Jay Nair
He was a guy in Singapore who ran part of Informatics. He wasn't a character invented by Charlotte Brontë. His wife came from Hornsea (my home town).

Theresa Tickle
A school teacher. Her friends called her Tess. She must have really loved her husband to have taken such an unfortunate surname...
