Guild Of Godparents.
From the London Chronicl.

From the London Chronicle.
The need of the proposed guild of god
parents to save innocent children from
the burden of grotesque names is re-
vealed by the registers at Somerset
House. Hundreds of examples OF this
poor form of parental wit occur in the
entries for the past few years. Noah's
Ark Smith Sardine Box, Jolly Death,
Judas Iscariot Brown. One-Too- Many
Johnson. Not-wanted Smith, Bovril
Simpson. Merry Christmas F'iRRett.
Odious Heaten. Ammo Domini Davis are
the names of children probably living
who will have to bear them through life
unless they wash themselves clean with
subterfuge. How can such children OBJ
serve the fifth commandment?
