TabbyCool Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I always thought Laurence was a boy's name, I used to know a little boy named Laurence. I didn't realise that Laurie Foell was really called Laurence! But then I suppose it's not that different to Lauren, which is definitely a girl's name!

Dan F Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Well some of the stars obviously shorten their names. Kate Ritchie's full name is Katherine - I saw it on the luggage tag of her backpack in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Ritchie's full name is Katherine - I saw it on the luggage tag of her backpack in LA. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would have assumed that anyway, if I'd thought about it at all. Kathryn/Katherine/Catherine is commonly shortened to Kate, Kat/Cat, Kath/Cath or Kit. Don't understand the Kit one, but I suppose it's like when people (usually old people!) shorten William to Bill! I mean, why not Will, or Liam? Bill? There is no 'B' in William! And why on earth are the names John and Jack interchangeable? My grandad is called John, but some of his friends call him Jack!?! Weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird! I'd always wondered that! I found out the other day that Jack Osbourne is in fact John Osbourne Jnr! (Ozzy's a John too) Same if I said Prince Henry of Wales - not many people would associate it with Prince Harry! Anyway off-topicness over!

Uh huh, & i'm sure that's a name. I think we'll just assume that on his birth certificate, his parents have made sure it says Mark Furze. Quite like the name Mark, but it reminds me of something that apparently happened when i was born. There was a boy in the next cot & he apparently weed on his nurse, she said. "Oh Mark, you dirty wee boy". Fate, i was meant to be with a Mark & it's not the Mark that made a mess of the nurse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
