I don't think you actually read the article? He's not named after a 'surf dude' as you put it, my parents wanted a name that would suit our lifestyle, living on Guernsey's best surf beach (portinfer) which we can hardly get him off of! We all love his name and this is the first criticism we have yet encountered. His middle name Zacchaeus comes from my Dad's favourite Bible story (which being 2,000 years old could hardly be described as off the wall) and is more meaningful than naming him something off one of the top 100 baby names for the sake of conformity. I saw this and couldn't help but comment because it's important for you to remember that this is a real child with a real family (likewise with your thoughts and views on the Watson family).

People in care deserve at least as much attention as whales and it is evident that some of our own care homes are within these groups.<br />When the collapse comes where shall our elderly and infirm relatives go?<br />A selfish interest might provoke local action but I doubt it. Business ethics rule here.Tom Gruchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384387998228996741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095270985170721876.post-45390016399544132972011-07-15T06:55:27.683+00:002011-07-15T06:55:27.683+00:00On the subject of changing names.

Typed it up myself,read it out in front of a lawyer, one hand on the bible, paid a fiver and Bob's your uncle. Passport, driving licence, house deeds etc all changed no problem. Only hiccup was, yes you've guessed it, the Jersey branch of HSBC who insisted on a deed pole.Closed account after kindly UK branch manager agreed to allow transfer in "old" name!<br />My advice, move to the UK!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
