I knew two Cyrils back in the 70s and 80s.
The former didn't mind as his surname was Knowles, same as the footballer. The latter stuck to the nickname of his youth, ' Ginger' , even though he was in his 50s and grey. :^0 This caused confuson to new members of staff because we had a youngish ginger bloke there, but he insisted he was called by his real name, which was Terry. |

BC - I've a mate called Trevor who was indeed born in 71! My Grandad is called Herbert too!

My Grandad was called Cyril, I think he hated the name. My brother in law's brother is called Trevor and he was prob born 79 or 80 or something.

Living members of my family include:
Arthur Edgar Maud Esmeralda Priscilla Edwin But the only one I've ever heard complain about his name is Walter. He's lucky, his mum had done that trick with the wedding ring and thought she was going to have a girl so she had decided on Hilda. |

These will come back into fashion again, in the 1970's you never heard anyone except an elderly man be called Jack.
Now there's loads of boys called Jack dunno why it's a pretty boring name a bit like John. I've noticed that more kids are getting first names that are also surnames a trend that's come over from the US I reckon. |
