Btw my work ethic had not been very impressive this afternoon having come across this thread. Great fun though !!

[Baitrunner]

I can imagine what the most searches on Google have been this afternoon?

I think Charles may have nailed it. Or Iain, or none of the above!!!

Iain, Glad you finally worked out 7 letters is more than 6

[charlesa]

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.

This is turning into the Tuesday afternoon quiz.

Oops sorry missed the post regarding "A".......    how about, Qudoos 

[TheQ]

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.

[charlesa]

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

[Baitrunner]

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?

[TheQ]

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.

 

[charlesa]

Stop it Q, no more !!

You will be pleased to know that is the 1st time I think I have ever used an Emoti whatsit !

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?
