Congratulations. Naming is a tricky thing but the one thing my beloved and I agreed on when naming our kids was that they would have his last name (for reasons that should be obvious). And as one of the most unparentally inclined people on the planet I can honestly say it is different when they are your own (you can't give them back for one thing). Hope all goes well.

Please don't send him back to the Shore Russell - the only thing that makes it tolerable having him as an MP is that he spends so little time here (as far as I, a humble voter, can tell).

Ok - I tell a lie - not even that makes it tolerable!

Yes - lovely - brought a tear to my eye :)
