Vote on a new middle name for Tim Hames

Tim_hames_needs_a_middle_name

It is time.

Time to give Tim Hames a new middle name.

Mr Hames, obviously having ingested too much Tabasco and ink, is offering Comment Central readers the chance to pick a middle name for him by ballot.

From an extensive list, Tim has selected 3 names suggested by readers. Now you have the chance to vote on the final one.

So, the names to choose from are...

  • Cromwell
  • Ford
  • Stevenson

Skip all three

I have no suggestion for your adopted middle name, although whilst at university a friend took a bet, and carried it through. The unfortunate consequence being he is now called Hugo 'Love-pole' Gladwin, I kid you not. We have have the documenataion.

Ford was the name of a moderately good President. Cromwell was the name of the two biggest vandals in English history. Stevenson was the name under various spellings of a wise American politgician, two great engineers and a great author. However, surely you could do better than these three. I think the greatest middle name was Amadeus.

I suggest OLAVI.

Cromwell - it's name that needs rescuing from extinction.

Is it too late to suggest "Polonium"?

Posted by: Marek | 1 Mar 2007 21:31:24

I've just noticed that I missed the preliminaries for this competition and also the only criterion.

Accordingly I suggest "Vidal" as a name of substance and style.

I suggest Tim LibDem Hames
