Last month (http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2021/08/its-good-to-keep-up-family-traditions.html) I posted an old but still very funny IRN BRU advert from YouTube, showing a father who, when asking his wife and mother-in-law what they should name their new baby, has to gulp down copious amounts of IRN BRU to deal with the suggestion of "Fanny", a name once popular in Scotland, but avoided by many today!

I've just had an email from reader Chris Schuetz pointing out an Australian run on the same gag, concerning a once popular name avoided by many today - Calum Murray. Enjoy...!

Are there any other examples?!
(With thanks to Chris - and apologies to any Calum Murrays out there!)
