The unfortunate initials bestowed upon my brother. After an evidently taxing day once his class discovered this hilarious fact, I asked my parents just "what the fuck they were thinking" and was given the response "well, we didn't realise." My initials, however, are DLT - giving rise, even at the age of almost 25, to all manner of "bet you've never heard this before" Hairy Cornflake jokes. My youngest brother's initials are HST, which I suppose is one letter off HRT. THEN I find out, had I been born a girl, my dad wanted to call me "Lydia", for Pete's sake - surely giving rise to endless "Lydia Dustbin" jokes.

I'm convinced my dad took baby-naming as an opportunity to have a laugh, but I haven't quite worked out how to approach the subject yet.
