The baby actually has more hair than her namesake

In an unusual turn-up for the books, my Indonesian brother-in-law yesterday named his newborn daughter after Liverpool FC goalkeeper Pepe Reina.

Annaliese Reine Evangeline. Hmm.
Apparently their first daughter, Annlouise Grace Evangeline, also had an LFC-based name. I couldn't work out what this could possibly be.
"What," I said to CK, "a dodgy mis-spelling of Luis Garcia?" Turns out yes, that's what it was.

You may be wondering what his wife, CK's sister, thinks about all this. But the Evangeline for both was her idea, from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, so she's just as bad.
