A little fun: What is your Royal Wedding guest name? Start with Lord or Lady. Then the first names of your grandparents of the same sex as yourself. Your surname is the name of your first pet, double barrelled [hyphenated] with the name of the first street you lived on.

(Note: Originally received through Facebook)

My guest name: Lord Alexander William Angel-Moraes

Alexander and William - my two grandfathers
Angel - the first pet I remember (dog)

Mine is not interesting but Apr 27, 2011

At long last some real fun! Apr 27, 2011

Lady Rita Marion Blanco Posnet-All Saint's

A bit of a hybrid number.....

Touches of the wedding reports in Hola magazine, where the high society couples always have foreign relatives making the guests sound oh so exotic.

Definitely going to bring this one out tomorrow evening when I go out for a drink with my colleagues!

Reminds me of going to a wedding years ago in Scotland, when the groom thanked the guests who had come from a particularly long distance and wanted to know if that explained why we also had the longest surnames (I have two, Spanish style, and my then partner's second surname is double-barrelled!).

My pet and street let me down:

No luck Apr 27, 2011

I wouldn't stand a chance to get invited with my name:
Lord Fokke Johan Ivor-Akoleienstraat

But my dog Casper of the Grey Noble would be called:
Lord Diddles Aäron Boy-Le Bouis
and thus has two names worthy of an invitation.

Cheers,
Gerard

Double barrels enough, but... Apr 28, 2011

Lord Jan-Govert Willem-Jan Michet-Paul-Gabriel.

I was named after my grandfathers, who both had double barreled first names (quite usual in the Netherlands).
My first street was named after painter Paul Gabriel, and as a child, I had a cat called Michet.
