Chris Titley's tailpiece suggesting what might be an appropriate name for a boy born in the new Millennium (January 11), prompts me to suggest that as 2000 is represented by MM in Roman numeral, mightn't Emma or Emmy be fitting for a girl?
Or perhaps Matthew Marcus for a boy, and Mary Magdelene for a girl.
And, for twins, what about Mork and Mindy?
Of course, in time, such names might tend to date one.
