 Not a Mohammed, Izrak, or Faizan in sight....not to mention a Dipak, Sanjay, or Parvinder.

 When will football reach out to the Asian community?

You've got Jack, which is short for John and Teddy is short for Edward.
Two Sams as well.

It's not quite "kings + queens and names from the bible", but it's not so far off.

That said, whoever named their child after a brand of sunglasses or the german word for travel needs a word in their ear.

Samuel/Sam, Jack and Luci are ok.

You have to assume that the parents of the other children don't really like them much. 'Oakley'  Roll Eyes

Closed shop the Asian football team, all for one and one for all as long as you dont mix with other children from different creeds.

Jack is short for John? How does that work then? I've tried working it out with maths, but it's not adding up.

I know this to be true, but like spacey, I can't quite get it.  Now, if it was short for Bob, well fair enough.

Probably not. Try pressing the 'nickname' button, rather than the 'short for' button.
