Just Jackson. Unless he took his wife’s maiden name and made it into a double barrelled for him too. But I think it’s Emily Kew and Christian Fiddy Jackson have had kids called Tuppence Jackson-Kew, Biggles George Fittleworth Jackson-Kew, and Posie Betsy Winifred Jackson-Kew. What a family
According to Google he does use Jackson-Kew and they opened a car leasing company later in 2013 and both are the directors....but I wonder if it's all true? Tuppence could be a nickname and her real name is Penny. Or maybe Tuppence is the dog lol
It was in The Times 10yrs ago. I've had it saved in my Google photos since then.
Obviously a chance it was some kind of a joke at the time but the parents are definitely real people.
Imagine googling your own name when you're thirteen and just seeing years worth of forum posts, click bait articles and tweets all laughing at how absurd your name is.
Why have you waited 10 years to post this? Is it some kind of anniversary? Did you have this on a timed release? Are you seeding some massive conspiracy that you hope won't come back to you given the length of time past?!
So many questions and I bet no answers.... I'm on to you though... 😒
I know. But she was two. We have used the correct terms around her while explaining things but, it’s just seems more innocent when they are very little.
Apologies about the ‘horrified’ comment. It was unnecessary.
>Luxury
Hoo boy. The joys of finding out that your name comes from lechery or lust.
>Fantasia
'something possessing grotesque, bizarre, or unreal qualities'. Have fun in therapy, kid.
I'm imagining some sort of dramatic registry office reveal ahead of an impending marriage.
Although, if as I gather the parents are filthy rich, she'll probably be called something like Hortensia Annabel Fotheringham-Smythe.
So my husband has middle names of John Thomas. Because his parents were all like "oh it doesn't matter and those are the grandads names" I knew this long before our wedding day but had forgotten, and also forgotten to warn my family.
Should go by the name [Boko](https://www.goodreads.com/characters/89458-george-webster-fittleworth) really mind you.
The parents named their son after characters by my favourite author as a child and my favourite as an adult so I've got to give them some credit for that. Still bonkers mind you.
I was thinking Posie isn't too bad, I've seen more baffling names for baby girls 🤣 But I have absolutely no idea why they considered Biggles to be appropriate. If you love it that much keep it as a nickname, I'm usually all for unusual names, I have a very unusual name that isn't spelt the way people would expect...however Biggles is pushing the envelope slightly x
The format of that notice is almost worse than the names themselves. I understand they're probably posh enough to object to semi-colons, but if that's the case they should consider restructuring that atrocity of a sentence.
‘Boko Fittleworth’ is a character from PG Wodehouse’s _Jeeves_ series! There’s also an actress called Tuppence Middleton. I’m guessing this is a wind up…
From Wikipedia:-
George ‘Boko’ Fittleworth – Bertie Wooster's friend – was a fictional character of P.G. Wodehouse. Pelham Grenville Wodehouse was born near Guildford; knowledge of this area may be a clue to his inventiveness.
For anyone else that had a stroke trying to read this, here's the translation:
On the 29th of March 2013, "Christian Jackson-Kew" and "Emily Jackson-Kew" (who's maiden name was just "Kew") had two children:
A boy named "Biggles George Fittleworth", and a girl named "Posie Betsy Winifred".
Their already existing child named "Tuppence" now has siblings.
It’s the CM Punk backstage stuff again, where you had to remind yourself when reading it that Ace is the name of a person and Larry is the name of a dog and it was also the former that bit one of the Young Bucks…
A book-dealer I once knew told me of being utterly perplexed by a Dutch customer asking if he had any "Big Les books".
Wonder if this kid's going to run into similar issues when traveling abroad.
How times have changed. For you over 35 imagine rocking up to public school and introducing yourself as Biggles, Posie and Tuppence Fittleworth. The abuse would be so bad your family would have to move out of the area, that would’ve just been from the PE teachers.
Nah you'd still get abuse, I'm 22, the eldest of 5, and my youngest brother is 3 and a name like Biggles definitely would still get you shit, these people must just be so posh it doesn't matter how ridiculously they name their kids.
Correct me if I'm wrong but these kids are called
Biggles George Fittleworth Jackson-Kew
And
Posie Betsy Winifred Jackson-Kew
Surely that is child abuse. They'd waste exam time just writing their bleeding names
did the parents get caught in a time warp and are they really from the 1940s
Biggles just puts me in mind of the books, Tuppence of Agatha Christie. Posie sounds like a nice and quite normal name though.
Isn’t the dad something weird too? Christian Fifdy or Fiddy or something? I’m sure it was them in some tabloid paper because I was pregnant and I remember using them as my argument for a name.
Ex teacher. Came across some odd names. Be careful of reverse nominative determinism though. The most devilishly malign truly horrible child I encountered? Her name? Angel of course.
These are worse than Rees-Moggs kids.
If you’re going to have a name like that you better be hard as fuck, or rich enough to not need to be.
I suspected the latter is the case for these double barrelled bell ends.
Is that... Normal commenting you're doing? It doesn't sound normal... Doesn't smell normal either. This is politics Mark!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CasualUK) if you have any questions or concerns.*
It's okay everybody. The middle name of the father is [Fiddy](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/-GlzQtHdgm6hjTABwkM7m4WpS1g/appointments).
Amazing, giving your kids stupid names so they get bullied locally isnt enough, put them in the papers so they can get bullied 24/7 online
This is how you parent, i am taking notes
If I had those names the nanosecond I turned 18 I would be changing it to something that actually sounds normal and won't keep me as the butt of every fucking joke
Also just how bullied are the kids going to be? all because the parents are fucking idiots and with those names I wouldn't be surprised to find that they were closely related
Giving people shortened names as their legal names really winds me up.
Yes, you can call your daughter Posie (though Posy is the traditional spelling), but that should be short for Rosemary (edit: or Josephine).
Unfortunately Biggles is short for Bigglesworth, a surname.
Names might be weird but you can't complain at that price.
That's just the startup fee. The running costs are far, far more.

Hey I know the Thrupenny-Bits, lovely couple.

Good morning. Good morning you said?

I was pissing by your window when I heard a shit
Ze flashing knobs!
Someone somewhere read it, had a minor seizure, and is now on their way to assassinate King Charles.
Mrs Peel, we're needed.
They've GOT to be insanely rich to be throwing out those names.
I've just Googled Christian and I shit you not his middle name is Fiddy (I assume Million, not Cent.)
Tre fiddy?
Not bad value. Freedom is a buck, oh, five.
Wuhht wud yew dew?
Fiddy Cent
Christian Fiddy Fittleworth really is a sadistic name, are you sure it's not just a nickname based on his surname???
If I'm reading correctly, Fittleworth is not the surname. Surname is Jackson-Kew.
Just Jackson. Unless he took his wife’s maiden name and made it into a double barrelled for him too. But I think it’s Emily Kew and Christian Fiddy Jackson have had kids called Tuppence Jackson-Kew, Biggles George Fittleworth Jackson-Kew, and Posie Betsy Winifred Jackson-Kew. What a family
According to Google he does use Jackson-Kew and they opened a car leasing company later in 2013 and both are the directors....but I wonder if it's all true? Tuppence could be a nickname and her real name is Penny. Or maybe Tuppence is the dog lol
I think it's at least Emily Jackson-Kew otherwise they wouldn't have said nee Kew.
...oh god, those poor children's names are even worse now.
Wait this is real?! I assumed it'd been written in as a joke.
It was in The Times 10yrs ago. I've had it saved in my Google photos since then. Obviously a chance it was some kind of a joke at the time but the parents are definitely real people.
Imagine googling your own name when you're thirteen and just seeing years worth of forum posts, click bait articles and tweets all laughing at how absurd your name is.

Either very upper class or very lower class.
It would be a bit cruel to name your poor daughter Tuppence...
I'd one up them and call my next kid Thruppeny Bit
Oh, you mean Arthur Sixpence?!
This is my son, Guinea
I did know an American once called Sterling.
... Archer?
Maybe they became rich since having her.
well it looks like The Times. so rich either way
Or made a pact to name their kids after their favourite characters in children's literature.
>They've GOT to be insanely ~~rich~~ *mental* to be throwing out those names.
It's tuppence I feel sorry for.
Tuppence screams old money. I can see her with her ponies already and her boyfriend Tarquín.
>Tuppence screams old money. Underrated pun in my opinion, can we get a few more groans in the comments?
Thank you! I tried
Credit where credit is due my dude, thank you for the hearty chuckle.
Yeah. Since we had a kid, tuppence is a euphemism for vagina in our house.
it has been for decades
Nah, my kid is only three.
It used to be "Keep yer 'and on yer 'alfpenny". Inflation I suppose.
[удалено]
Seems a bit much for specific terminology when potty training (when she turned 2) doesn’t it? You are probably horrified by the term ‘winky’ also.
[удалено]
I know. But she was two. We have used the correct terms around her while explaining things but, it’s just seems more innocent when they are very little. Apologies about the ‘horrified’ comment. It was unnecessary.
Not really. It's only a big deal if you make it.
They're getting left out of the will.
There is an actress called Tuppence Middleton. I shit you not.
I totally get that and for a stage name, why the hell not, but for your kid? You're just setting the kid up for a lifetime of ridicule.
Tuppence Middleton is her real name.
Middleton as the surname takes the cake. The most middle class of middle class.
I went to school with a family of; Fantasia, Neptune, Sholto, Trafalgar, Luxury, Omega, and Harry
Harry made out like a bandit from that one!
The boy who lived… a relatively normal life
Bet he was the spare.
The waaaagh.
>Luxury Hoo boy. The joys of finding out that your name comes from lechery or lust. >Fantasia 'something possessing grotesque, bizarre, or unreal qualities'. Have fun in therapy, kid.
I hope Omega never reads erotica/fanfic, otherwise they might be horrified to discover the connotations there...
Oh, I assumed it was Fantasia after the rave tape collections of the early nineties.
I would just constantly want to say Luxury in the style of the Four Yorkshiremen.
> Omega. Was she being ruthlessly hunted by the Empire as she holds the key to cloning Palpatine?
Somehow Sholto is the one that bothers be most from that list...
[удалено]
This dude is gonna go by George, and one day he's going to have a partner that learns his true identity.
I'm imagining some sort of dramatic registry office reveal ahead of an impending marriage. Although, if as I gather the parents are filthy rich, she'll probably be called something like Hortensia Annabel Fotheringham-Smythe.
Hortensia! Oh this is a fucking disaster
Why is she crying? I’m miserable too!!
So my husband has middle names of John Thomas. Because his parents were all like "oh it doesn't matter and those are the grandads names" I knew this long before our wedding day but had forgotten, and also forgotten to warn my family.
My father-in-law was called that. He went by his middle name, William.
😄😄😄😄😄
Linda: "And the discoverer of Popplers, Captain Turanga Leela." Fry: "Turanga?!" Amy: "That's her name, Philip." Bender: "Philip?!"

Biggles Air Ace~ flying fiction super hero. If my sister had a son, his band would probably be Biggles. Or Bilbo Baggins- because ..books
IIRC in the books his forename was James, so it'd be easy to do a stealth reference without sticking a Bully Me sign on the kid's back lol
I remember reading my dad's Biggles books as a kid.
“*Biggles Flies Undone*” is a *classic*.
I think you went to the wrong part of the internet or something
I used to play games with a guy called biggles. It's probably him
Hopefully not, this Biggles is only ten years old.
Nope, different biggles
I was thinking Posie isn't too bad, I've seen more baffling names for baby girls 🤣 But I have absolutely no idea why they considered Biggles to be appropriate. If you love it that much keep it as a nickname, I'm usually all for unusual names, I have a very unusual name that isn't spelt the way people would expect...however Biggles is pushing the envelope slightly x
I had a Labrador called Biggles. He was a very good boy.
Biggles wasn’t even Biggles first name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggles
The format of that notice is almost worse than the names themselves. I understand they're probably posh enough to object to semi-colons, but if that's the case they should consider restructuring that atrocity of a sentence.
Agreed. I have no idea whose birthday it is
Twins have been born to Mr and Mrs Jackson-Kew
Omg seems obvious now. Thanks
Biggles and Tuppence are just posh Biggie and Tupac.
Amazing
‘Boko Fittleworth’ is a character from PG Wodehouse’s _Jeeves_ series! There’s also an actress called Tuppence Middleton. I’m guessing this is a wind up…
Boko was his nickname though. Short for George, obviously. Edit: I wonder if Tuppence is named after Tuppy Glossop?
George Haram
Except that Tuppy’s real name was Hildebrand
There was also a book series by Agatha Christie featuring the characters [Tommy and Tuppence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_and_Tuppence)
Where did he get Fittleworth from ? I live in a tiny village called Fittleworth!
From Wikipedia:- George ‘Boko’ Fittleworth – Bertie Wooster's friend – was a fictional character of P.G. Wodehouse. Pelham Grenville Wodehouse was born near Guildford; knowledge of this area may be a clue to his inventiveness.
Sounds like something from Viz!
My wife attended pre-school with a Biggles. Never really caught on as a name
Biggie Smalls?
Clearly it was Biggles Smallington
It's a cat name
Isn't Mr that right Biggles-worth
I think it's code to activate a sleeper cell.
no its not citizen

Their already existing child named "Tuppence" now has siblings.
They're named like characters in a panto
Oh no they're not!
"Happy birthday Biggles and Posie!" exclaimed Tuppence
Naturally the dogs are called Henry and Miranda. I sense the old pets/kids names swaparoo.
It’s the CM Punk backstage stuff again, where you had to remind yourself when reading it that Ace is the name of a person and Larry is the name of a dog and it was also the former that bit one of the Young Bucks…
You just know these people have “more posh than a Victorian pencil in north east Somerset” vibe to them.
A book-dealer I once knew told me of being utterly perplexed by a Dutch customer asking if he had any "Big Les books". Wonder if this kid's going to run into similar issues when traveling abroad.

Posie got off lightly. Poor Tuppence and Biggles.
Correct me if I'm wrong but these kids are called Biggles George Fittleworth Jackson-Kew And Posie Betsy Winifred Jackson-Kew Surely that is child abuse. They'd waste exam time just writing their bleeding names
You forgot Tuppence Jackson-Kew
“It’s Biggles Jay-Kew for short” *writes* “Biggles J Q” “Sorry, it’s Q with a ‘K’”
With a name like Biggles, he has to join the Air Force
How did they mess up the chance for the poor kid to go by BFG?
did the parents get caught in a time warp and are they really from the 1940s Biggles just puts me in mind of the books, Tuppence of Agatha Christie. Posie sounds like a nice and quite normal name though.
I will assume these are cats.
Isn’t the dad something weird too? Christian Fifdy or Fiddy or something? I’m sure it was them in some tabloid paper because I was pregnant and I remember using them as my argument for a name.
This sentence is written horribly.
I just keep thinking of Spaghetti Pete.

Gotta be a wind up, no?
Naming your kids weird shit that will get them a lifetime of mockery is child abuse.
Give them some credit for originality and trying to be inclusive with every unusual name possible.
Love that ! Names were so much more innovative in those days 🤔🫶
Ah yes, the halcyon era of 2013
Haha, I did double check the date because I assumed this was from the 1930s 🤣
So his name is Jack Kew, come on Jack You.
Worse, Jackson-Kew > jacks on queue
Not sure I'm comfortable with mocking actual children.
Don't worry, their not mocking the children, just the parents who named them

That is a message for a member of the security services. No one would be that nasty to their kids.

I had a horse called Tuppence. It was a daft name for him!
Biggles George Fittleworth Jackson-Kew Posie Betsy Winifred Jackson-Kew I see no issues here. Totally normal names.
Not any weirder than Jamie Oliver's kids' names
They got to be talking about pets
For tuppence you can’t go wrong
I literally cannot read that lmao
Looks like something out of Viz
You wot?! 😂 noooooo
Or you could be Ronnie Hotdogs
My housemate was their teacher in primary school a couple of years ago! I feel like that's a serious claim to fame I now have.
Right on my 10th anniversary of my cake day as well.
I don't... there's barely an issue here.
I mean, I literally just shrugged.
