Argh, feel dead dim. Perhaps it is symptomatic of my childhood, watching too much telly... met my new neighbour the other day and her name is Bronwyn. First Bronwyn I've met in the USA. When I told H what her name was he said
"What? Bron what?"
"Bronwyn. Bron - when, you div"
"What kind of name is that?"
"It's Australian" (based solely on the fact that the only Bronwyn I've encountered was a character in Neighbours)
I started to have a nagging feeling that perhaps I was wrong, googled and (of course!) the name is Welsh. Oddly enough it seems to mean "white breast" which is reason enough not to bestow it on a child.
Feel my whole foundation of knowledge is shaken - how many other things do I believe are Australian, simply because I saw them on Neighbours?!?
