I love my name.
I changed my surname to my granddad's for his 75th birthday as he was gutted that his name was going to die out (he had two daughters). He cried for ages when I told him and it was well awkward. It's the same as a famous weatherman (although there's only one T as opposed to two).

My mum was always gutted she didn't make her maiden name my middle name.
So I thought fuck it I'll surprise them all. My old surname meant nothing anyway, my granddad on my dad's side is Spanish and he changed his surname to an English one when he moved over in the 50s cos he was a batty man who was afraid of being persecuted for being forrin. I don't know what difference he thought it'd make, he's so tanned he's basically black and even today I ain't got a fucking clue what he's saying when he talks.
