In the parents' language class there is a wonderful and varied selection of names : Lavinia, Palma, Afize, Nazli, Abdullah, Madgboule, Bathir, Zahira and Siobhan. Unfortunately it is the last name, and my name, which is proving to be the most difficult for the class to pronounce. So I have given them my nickname - Shiv.
Shiv has slowly morphed into "chev" which, with a French accent, is rather close to "chevre" and happens to be French for "goat". I don't mind. I'm just not looking forward to the lesson when they actually learn that word and the looks that they will give me once the penny drops!
