yen_powell Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 I used to know a Ray Ling many years ago. I had a friend called Aelwood who wouldn't tell me his middle name (I guessed it eventually, it was Desmond). A friend's other half's first name is Woods, he's a Canadian orphan so not sure how he ended up with that. 'Dead' Ted, my late contractor supervisor's real first name was Enda, I found this out when appealing all his parking tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my incessant badgering got no results I asked him what the first letter was and he told me 'D'. I knew it couldn't be any usual name like David or Derek or he wouldn't be worried, hit the right one in a few guesses. Had a similar thing with a bloke at work called Steven Tebbett, he wouldn't reveal his middle name either but fell for the 'what is the first letter' ploy. His answer was L. Got that one as I had heard his parents were a bit bible crazy. Have a go and see if you can work that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm Im a bit afloat on this one cos in-spite of attending not one but two religious schools the only name that stuck out was Lazarus. and that would be a nuts thing to call a kid?!

You're on the right track, it is a biblical name and you have probably got the other L name there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 No to Luke and Lucifer. A clue is that it is also the first name of a literary character from a famous book written in the 1700s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
