I just noticed...

[Alan Lynch]

On UK birth certificates - or the ones I'm dealing with at work anyway - the bit where the baby's name goes in is headed "Name, if any".

"If any"? Eh?

[Cam63]

Are any UK kids named " Fookmedead " ?

[Alan Lynch]

Quite possibly. Those Manchester types certainly do say "fook" a lot. It's got to mean something.

[Cam63]

Mostly, it's said by the bloke when he's just found out he's gunna be a daddy.

[Alan Lynch]

"Ah fook, it's ahr kid". Oh, those crazy Mancs.

[Lester C.]

I have a friend who named his kids after characters in the Star Wars universe. I kid you not he has a two daughters named Tahiri and Aayla. He also has a son named Quinlan. Both he and his girlfriend are actually very good parents, but are strange even by my standards.

[Cam63]

They must be normal then.

[Cam63]

*Slaps knee and laughs like a bastard*

[Lester C.]

Ha, ha very funny.:mad:

[Cam63]

I'm still laughin' !

[Lester C.]

I'm still laughin' !

So am I.:biggrin: But still:mad:

How long have you got to register a birth over here anyway? I suppose it's possible that the parents haven't decided on a name by the time they have to register.

*Passes Lester a faux beer*

*Passes Lester a faux beer*

*drinks faux beer* Hey this isn't real beer!:mad: Must be why it doesn't look and taste like urine.:wink: Then again that's American Beer. For all I know Australian beer is the nectar of the gods.

*Passes Lester a faux beer*
Foster's?? :eek:



Damn, you are a mean bastard!

[Cam63]

I should be faux arrested !

[Typo Lad]

I was 17 before I found out the name on my Birth Certificate was Baby Boy Luchins.

THANKS FOR THAT!

[Cam63]

You foreigners...

[section 8]

i'm sure that s for the most dire of circumstances,

Ex.the mother dies in childbirth, w/ no family and the father is nowhere around.

[Cam63]

Way to take the fun outta the thread.

Actually Alan, it turns out my official Birth Certificate was on record with a No Name unitl I was 22. I had a copy with the name hand written on it for most of my life, and that usually got me what I needed. it even worked for my college admissions. However; when I went to the departmnet of motor vehicles when I was 22, (I'm a New Yorker with access to somewhat reliable 24 mass transit system) they did not accept it, granted it was in tatters, held together by tape and a little bit of my own spit, but it held up as valid up until that point. Long story short, I was born i Washington DC, and had to go there to get my Birth Cert, when I get there and give my information, They tell me there is no name given.
I have to use my grammar school transcripts to put a name on my Birtch Certificate. This eliminated my middle names that i had grown quite fond of. I never felt quite the same again(honestly) it felt like my entire life up to that point was a lie.

As for how my folks dropped the ball on handing in the paper work, I cannot say.
I kow an Aunt of mine passed away a few weeks after my birth, so maybe my parents were preoccupied. But you would figure someone would notice I had no name on my Birth Certificate at some point.

What's funny is this is all true.
and only I can use the story....

Huh, I didn't think you'd be able to go so long with an incomplete birth certificate. Friend of mine had that for a while and it prevented some places acknowledging that she officially existed. Weird.

[Pelle 79]

Hmm i think this sound strange or what?
Well good luck..

[Cam63]

'Same goes for me.

[Bo Bo]

I remember being able to use my baptism certificate instead of a birth certificate for things like getting a passport. I think it was 9/11 that changed that, but I could be wrong and it could've been in the works before then.....

[Cam63]

Cartlon United Breweries has mine.

[Bo Bo]

Cartlon United Breweries has mine.

Well of course they do, weren't you born there?

[Alan Lynch]

Well of course they do, weren't you born there?

[Cam63]

Well of course they do, weren't you bottled there?
