What is in a name?
Last night we met up with some new friends. In typical Mr. Lucky and Mummyfried style, we didn't know their names. They must have told us their names the first time we met, but of course it was summer, we had just arrived in Greece and were drunk on sun, good food and tsipouro (a rocket fueled version of ouzo). To be honest for a while I thought their names were Baby and Sweetie. When they started to call each other ‘Cutie’ or ‘Lovey’ I realised I had missed the initial name exchange. I had a rare moment of genius and asked the husband whether his name was pronounced differently in Portuguese as opposed to Greek. So now we know the man’s name. Mr. Lucky and I have names for each other Mr. Lucky being one, and more descriptive names when we have very very loud conversations. He also goes by Mr. Cranky, Mr. Messy, Mr. Funny, Mr. I am in so much trouble, but I can’t say he ever goes by Mr. All Loved Up, or Mr. Baby. Do people grow into the names or nickna...
