charlesa Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't know if I'm right or not but I seem to remember The Q mentioning somewhere a boat that he may have on the Broads called Sheque and I then did a brilliant bit of "Turing" coding to come up with QUESHE but I am probably wrong !

In the world of dog showing, when you breed a dog, you put your affix at the start of dogs name, when you buy a dog it goes at the end. Hence we had Hazelside Sanderling at Sheque ( her pet name was Amber), and from her we had Sheque Amber Glenn, Sheque Amber Crystal etc Now all the normal Affix names have long since been used, so these days people use made up names ... My wife's name is Sheila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Charlessa wins the Banana!! For many years I thought it was an old family name, but then I was told it was someone My parents knew, but I have never found any reference to it being used as a name anywhere. I now have my suspicions it was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Keren, Qu often being used as a translation of the K, Ch(Hard C), KH of Arabic into English. In which My Grandfather was involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesa Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Thank goodness for that, you have saved my job Q !! Very nice name by the way. I bet you have to repeat the spelling a few times to our friends the Help Desk operators !! Best wishes Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Well done that man. Very unusual name and bet you asked to spell that quite a bit? bet your glad it was that rather than Buddy Bear though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yes i've been asked to spell my Name many millions of times. What Also happens is they reverse my Surname and Christian name, I've had to send an email to Edward Williams insurance every year since I've been with them. and No i'm not playing multiple guesses on my Surname... also My middle name is normally used as a Surname. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Just change your name to Queren Queren Queren. Spell it once, no confusion on reversing christian and surnames and people will be too scared to ask how you got it! So if your a christian you have a christian name. What do atheists, Muslims. Jews etc have? Surely it would be offensive to ask them if they have a Christian name as they would not have been christened or have the same faith? Do they have, for instance, a surname anda bar mitzvah name? Sorry don't know enough about the faith to know if they have an equivalent to a christening?
