Though as said Cariad is a Welsh term of endearment, a word not known much
outside of Wales is a Welsh word best translated as a special sort of cuddle or
hug, usually with your cariad.

#10 Denis I wanted to call my son after myself my wife didnt want it her excuse being it would then become little John and Big John for the rest of his life . She also insisted on only one Christian name and as my Daughter the first born was mutually called Wendy we decided on Peter for the boy , with reference to Peter Pan and Wendy. However I fought long and hard to get John in there and he is now called Peter John and often referred to as PJ.
Your sons name after yourself even if they are called little Den and big Den , in actual fact no doubt the roles are now reversed and your little Den ?? ? Cheers JS

All my siblings had double barrel names except me, don't know what happened there, my father and three brothers had Beynon as their second names, makes me wonder why, as I was not registered for a month after birth, perhaps I was found under a cabbage, or the Gypsies forgot to take me with them, hence my wandering ways.

Des, I know what you mean.
I only have one name but my two sisters and my brother have two.

When asked why I explain that being born in the middle of the war that was all they could afford.

Mine can call me anything she likes, as long as she doesnt call me Early./

[John F Collier]

For the first six months or so, I was always "Johnny Love", for the next 48 happy years I was "John", which could be pronounced in several
different tones my sister told me my wife always referred to me as "My John" which said it all to me .

Lewis. Re. #14

Buns in the USA are those two cheeks that one sits on in the States. A question mate, asked with humor in mind:

Has your beloved sweetie been to the US?

If she has then..... No I'm not going to go there.

Next ask your self. How is the tone of her voice, as in..."BUNS!"

I personally think she is really implying that you are some sweet. tempting thing and not the other.

Now, if you can just inject some of that sweetness into your reply to my question, it will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Rodney

Lewis re. your son's name Sean.

*My son is Vincent Sean David Mills.* I just happened to like the name Sean, plus the fact that David is a family name and Vincent David, sounds nice but not knowing what his occupation would be I didn't want him to be Dr. V.D. Mills (a Urologist).M.D.

As I have mentioned a few years ago I had a breakthrough in my hobby, family genealogy.* From a great-grandmother who died a pauper, who's family line leads back through the Kings of Scotland a bunch in Europe and Wales then across to Ireland and leads to himself, Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, born 941-1014.

Lady Isabel de Claire,*Heiress of Pembroke a 27th Grear-Grandmother (27th GGM) 1145-1188 was traded off as a bride by her father to the king of Leinster, they had a daughter Aoile*(Eve) de Leinster, mac Murough*1145-1188, whose son wasDonnchad mac Murchada, King of Leinster 1060-1115 which led down to Brian Boru a 35th great-grandfather.*

The trade was to have a standby army ready, if the English invaded Pembroke. It kept the peace for about 70 years, then I guess my Welsh great grandfathers either ran out of daughters or they were ugly.

If you can get back that far in a family tree, you must remember you would have had thousands of 35th GGFs.* So in the scheme of things it doesn't really mean much.*

Unless you stumble into a connection to one of the landed gentry that leave a paper trail, found by professional Genealogists and left to amateurs*like me to sneak in the backdoor.* Family connections dried up around the early 1500s as not too many people could read and write and leave a paper trail. And they didn't have money to keep the priests in sacramental wine and chips.

Still, I enjoy it, it's like being a clerical detective.

Cheers, Rodney
