"Let’s say you want your son to grow up to be like Clint Eastwood. Gruff, rough and tough. A real boy’s boy. A manly man. Macho. Or maybe you’re in love with old Westerns. The romance. The drama. The lonely dusty prairies and tumbleweeds, swinging saloon doors and swaggering, comboy-hat-wearing, gun-slinging heros."

George? It's as common as muck, says Alison Boshoff (who has a little George of her own)

It was with some horror that I heard that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have called their son George. A name that was already ubiquitous in our area is bound to become practically unbearable, writes ALISON BOSHOFF.
Clare's insight:

Interesting piece by the mother of a George (who apparently lives in something of a George-pocket).  The hospital consultant's influence on the name is a little terrifying, though.
