Yes, it does refer to the father, so he'd be the son of 68 fathers. His poor mother, indeed. Wink

I finally got the joke now, thanks, Quattrociocchi (and about time, too)!

It's funny you mention the name "Rose" -- a few weeks ago my sister gave birth to a baby girl whom she and her husband decided to name "Rose".

We've since spoken several times (of course) and in the course of our conversations I've teased her about naming their first son (if they have a son) "Jack".

Sorry, Tom, but I seem to be a bit thick today and can't figure out what the name 'Jack' has got to do with 'Rose'. Care you enlighten my poor, uninformed self?

Hi all, I think that subject became a very interesting one, so why not have a topic discussing that? Will everyone translate their names and surnames or the names which will be funny into English? Love, _________________ If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
