So - would YOU murder your parents and expect to get let off by a sympathetic jury if they saddled you with a name like Keenan Got Lucky?....(Or other horrors...?)
You do wonder about some parents. I once taught a student with the first name of Lord and when I worked in the Civil Service I had a boss called Albert Hall. He was very clever at giving his name only as "Albert" or "Mr Hall" and it was ages before I twigged, even though I was walking past the Albert Hall every morning on my way to work at the time.
When I subesquently married someone who also had the surname "Hall", we joked that we ought to name our children Albert and Festival, but we would never actually do anything so cruel. :)
