Parents are sometimes so vain and venal when it comes to naming a child.

Can I please as a teacher who spends a great deal of time calling registers please ask parents to think how it will be for their offspring when the name under consideration is being called out loud by a teacher or on a loud speaker in a public building.How stupid do you feel calling out the name?How stupid might it sound to classmates during registration?

It's nothing like that song 'My name is Shirley' by the late Jonnie Cash.

It's an uneccesary cruelty to inflict on a child.

Theresa Green indeed!!!!
