Just looked her up. I see what you mean.

I used to think Benji was only a dog's name then I heard a character on the movie 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' named Benji, so then I knew it was also a man's name.

There was someone on breakfast television this morning, a bar owner, his second is 'snowball', never heard that name before!

 

[Streetwise]

I've not heard of a boy being named 'Kim' in the UK, but in countries like North Korea or Belgium it can be a boy's name.

it depends on your culture and \or area of country

It is probably a nickname.

My biggest celebrity crush is Penny Smith, some would notice the age gap, she is older than me, but I like a lot of women in her age group

 

[watersprite]

I find Bronwyn to be strange because it is hard for me to say, it doesn’t roll off the tongue easily.
As for crushes, hmm, probably Armaund Gamache of the Louise Penney books, and Heathcliff Lennox of the Karen Menuhin books.

 

[Streetwise]

I think names that describe people's ancestors' trade or occupation are interesting such as Miller, Cooper, Smith, Sawyer, Hunter, Harper, Carter, Wright, etc.

Maybe its because I'm from England not interesting

That's unfortunate, but to each his own. These names, indicative of ancestors' past occupations, are extremely common in the USA. I must know 50 people named "Smith" within a 10 miles radius of my home.

And, of course, every language around the world likely has names indicative of ancestral occupations. Spanish and French certainly do. My Austrian/Germanic ancestral family name means plum tree or cherry tree. I assume someone had an orchard long ago and lot of children to carry that name into the future.

It's kind of amusing to me. Reminds me of the Welsh...with so many common names occupying a relatively small space. But I can see how much of anyone in the UK would be indifferent about such things taken for granted there.

I don't follow.
Why would "suffering" & "surnames" be mutually exclusive...?
