Usain Bolt has announced the names of his new babies... Saint Leo Bolt and Thunder Bolt.

Why, oh why would he not have named the first one Lightning Bolt?  :hmmm:

OH! on further reading he already has a daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt.

He could have used "Inch and a Half Whitworth"  :smiley-laughing:

I'm not a fan of burdening children with comical names, but I can't even see what the joke is with "Saint Leo Bolt". :hmmm:

I don't understand why he didn't give them all the same names...


...much easier....


...then they'd all be...


...co-bolt.


[Was it worth the wait?]

I can explain it to you...

I read that as Saint Leopold who I know as the patron saint of Austria and my hometown Vienna. Didn't think that our Leopold was even known in Jamaica. :hmmm:

I went to school with Julian Cope, the singer of Teardrop Explodes.

He decided that he would give his kids Greek names.

Teles, Micros, etc. etc.  :no:

I know someone who named her two kids Encore and Finale, good job she stopped at two, pore old Prologue had a lucky escape.
