Jack and Jake are two different names.

The different spellings of Muhammed are different transliterations of the same name.

You can make an argument for Jake and James, but even that common origin is long buried...

Maybe not, but the claim has been made. Is it true or not ?

im a serving police officer, in england.
Im sorry to have to burst everyones bubble here, but no it is NOT a law and never has been.
There was once in the 1950's a remarkable event, at a public meeting in London. The police of the 1950s in england were nowhere near as closely monitored as they are today, and the way they applied minor laws and served the public interest was largely down to their discretion.
so this event in london resulted in a pregnant female needing to urinate.
a police officer was asked what the lady should do.
To save her dignity, the officer lent her his helmet, but only to cover up her vaginal area, which may have been on show. she did NOT urinate into the helmet. It was used a screen for prying eyes.
there is absolutley nothing in law to that effect for pregnant females. Pregnant females may need to urinate more often due to their condition, however the onus is on the pregnant female, to ensure that she is paying greater attention to her health needs, and not making upstupid laws to help stupid people.
what purpose would it serve to let the female urinate into a policemans helmet? she would still be making a spectacle of herself, people could still see her private areas, and what does the police officer then do with his now useless helmet?
urinating in public is a criminal offence, and so there would never be a law passed to allow this to happen.
the incident in london, was an exceptional case, and there were large crowds around from what i understood of the incident, the public toilets nearby had just been vandalised and were inaccessible at the time. So the officer, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES did what he could.
it is all a question of common sense.
ask a policeman if you can borrow his helmet to pee in, as you are pregnant and its the law, and you will probably be met initially with laughter, and then instructions to go to the nearest public toilets, and stop being so narrow minded

Yeah, I know, but I really are dissapointed. I expected some threadjacking on a friday night britbashing thread about an obscure subject, and what do I get ? A flame war about stupid names and a serious answer

Poly is surely in decline

Well, you can always count on me to provide the serious answer!

[Krill]

actually I misinterpreted your post

[Krill]

Joshua is a Jewish name?

[Krill]

So if any child is given a Jewish name, even if he is, say, Muslim, or native English, he gets called foreign trash?

Meh.

No offense, but you swallowed hook, sink and bailt on the threadjack, but I assume it was too tempting considering your pov's.

the cliche is hook line and sinker.
