That sounds like a name out of Lord of the Rings, or maybe Star Wars, doesn't it?

Well, to the best of my knowledge it isn't.

You know it's a slow day in the BBC news room when there is a reporter congratulating some random people from their village, St Endellion in Cornwall, on the Camerons - us Brits' Tory Prime Minister and his wife, that is - on calling their new baby girl Florence Rose Endellion.

WUT.


('sides from that, composition got another step forward although I'm struggling with my African section, and my mum came home with a SHOUNEN JUMP and VIZ MEDIA bag from someone at her workplace. NO LIE.)


Love and prayers,

PS The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring film misquotes the epic scene with the Balrog and Gandalf. Of course.

Well, it's pretty, albeit kinda weird.

Pretty yes, odd yes. That isn't what surprised me. It was the fuss that the BBC was making about it. They had a reporter gather up a crowd by the parish church and was asking them things like:
Reporter: "And does the Camerons naming their daughter after your home make you proud?"
Local Character: "Yes, it makes me very proud indeed. I've lived here all my life."
Reporter: "I should be congratulating you then!"
No. No you shouldn't. Congratulate the Camerons, by all means, for having a healthy baby daughter. But what is the point of congratulating a local on them naming the baby after the village? They go on holiday there sometimes. They could have called the baby Witney, after the village David Cameron's the MP of - although, given how upper-class the Camerons seem, I would admit that Witney sounds like a chav name. *sighs* Too much fuss.
