Help me invent some typical 'Cockney' names for a forthcoming story, will you please? I'd be very grateful if you would. The names must be convincing, though, just like the names on my list so far... http://postmodernmariner.blogspot.com/2010/11/typical-cockney-names.html Just for once, I'm not being silly! | ||

Not being silly? Oh, come on, Rhys. How do you expect us to take you seriously if you act, well, seriously? | ||

One way I could suggest of coming up with suitable names, Rhys, would be to research old London Music Hall songs. I'm thinking about names like Nellie Dean and so on. Go on, I reckon you could really get into researching old music hall songs, couldn't you?  | ||

Thanks Caroline! But the twist is that I was being silly... I came up with two more suitable names last night: * Chas Intolerant * Mucker Blitz A request for suitable names on Facebook resulted in these suggestions, courtesy of Brian Willis: * Ellie Phanton-Castle * Bo Bells * Marley Bone * Gethin Theremyson I thank you, humbly, very 'umble. | ||

>>Thanks Caroline! But the twist is that I was being silly...<< I know. So was I! But maybe I was a bit too subtle?  | ||
