Iain,

You are perhaps the only person who didn't capture what I hoped would be an obvious tongue-in-cheek rejoinder to the shower of messages in this thread. 

You are quite correct about how difficult (daft) it would be for us to be communicating with common names--which I never use, despite their sometimes equally colorful origins....
