For some strange reason, I seem to have a certain connection with people whose names start with an "A".
My Christian name is Adeline and I'm married to Alex. My mum is Anna and I used to sponsor 2 kids named Anuchai (from Thailand) and Aisulu (from Mongolia) under the World Vision Sponsorship Programme. My best friend in Melbourne is Anla, wife of Alex's best friend.
I have a few ex-colleagues called Anne, Angelina, Asiah, Amy, Alexa, Anastasia and even a couple of my namesake, Adeline. There was an Alson, Andy, Andrew and Anthony and Alan too. One of my closest friends has recently adopted a new blog moniker - Anfield Devotee and while his real name doesn't start with an "A", it has an "A" in every one of the four syllables in his first name.
Even my some of my favourite movie/book characters have "A" names - Aragorn and Arwen, Anakin and Amadila, Anne Shirley (Of Green Gables).
This A connection seems to have affected Joshua as well since his best chums are Andrew, Angus and Alexander. And his new teacher is Miss Amy McDonald.
It's little wonder I end up in a country with a name that starts with an "A"!
