For extreme patriots

Gunnar, Gunther, Guntram (male) or Gunvor, Gunhild, Gunda (female). All contain the Old Norse element "gunnr" for war. :(

I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just trying to make the point that patriotism is dangerous when carried to extremes.

President Washington, I presume?

Does anyone have a clearer memory than I do about an old comic song in which the baby ended up with the names:
George Washington Christopher Columbus Roosevelt Douglas Lee

I remember my father singing it and giggling!

Don't know that one but it would fit well into the A. A. Milne poem which starts something like this:"James James Morrison Morrison da da da da da DupuisTook good care of his mother although he was only three."

James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupre
Took great care of his mother, though he was only three.
James James said to his mother,
"Mother," he said, said he,
"You must never go down to the end of the town if you don't go down with me."

It goes on for pages, but I won't!

If anyone does know the song that Anneza referred to, please post it. It sounds promising and I'd like to know it. :)
