That's an interesting trend that. You know, names come and go,
as we know, but the names of people of my generation, Sharon, Kevin,
Carol Brett, those sort of names have disappeared. Gary, and
you can't yeah, Gary, you can't imagine that they will
ever come back. But you know, we thought. My dad's
name is Arthur. I'm stunned that babies are being called Arthur.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
My mother in law's name is MAVs and she's eighty
two now, and she said when she was called Mavers,
