Daphne, I remember an article you had written back in 1997 regarding children’s names at the time and it was hilarious. Those names were totally acceptable in comparison to these!

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Well, if you are so sure of it, I guess 'beato te'. There could be some pointers to that period but what do you make of the rape of Malta by the few for two decades prior to that and the glorification of that period by the masses? No, humanity definately needs to develop, and, not just in Malta, for that matter. Sometimes I wish to think that there were higher forms of life on this planet in the past (pyramids) and something has happened to these civizations. But let me stop here.

If I had to choose, I’d go for Cowlin.

Perhaps we should go down the same path as they did in Sonora, Mexico and just ban certain names or at least suggest correctly-spelt alternatives.

Let me reach for my calculator.

My trusty Casio tells me that it should happen when the current crop of Ritiennes reach childbearing age. That’s in about…

Oh my god it happened last week.

Run NOW.

It’s just that I keep looking for the famous point when everything went tits up, and I keep finding myself staring at the latter part of the 90s.

Sometimes changed deep within us in the few years between 95 and 99. Remember one thing: that’s when the number of TV stations and ‘local’ productions exploded. It coincides with the birth of Xarabank, the infamous ‘Ipokriti’ and the wall-to-wall carpeting with bling.

And that’s when the Darkness engulfed us.

In reply to Ness. Oh my god. We're choosing baby names and Ritienne wants to invert Lana.
