no sharing a coke with me or Evie

For the last couple of weeks in the shops I have seen bottles of coke with names on...

...I have found James but not me or Evie :o(

So I had a look at the list and nether of our first names are on there but our middle names are on it which I suppose is better than nothing.

I saw the advert on the TV, didn't take much notice though. Not seen them in store...I buy the cheaper stuff for Martyn and I don't drink fizzy drinks.
I see there is a Martin with an i, his y is the Welsh spelling.
It must be a nightmare for the staff trying to keep the shelves tidy :-)

I tend to have the cheap stuff too, although James likes Pepsi Max...

...I never realised that Martyn was the Welsh spelling...

you are right about keeping the shelves tidy being a nightmare.

They have only just introduced the names on coke bottles here. Apparently they have chosen 150 of the most popular names at this time. Some of them are awful.

They have two Martins: Maarten & Martijn
There's no Evie, but an Eva and there is no Amber or James. They haven't discovered your name yet, Amber, but once they do there will be an Amber in every single street. They are really so like sheep for copying each other here.

Mum - there are more English names than I would have expected...

Amber, they copy a lot, but they do not say them the same as us anyway!
For example Jeffrey is said like "Yeffrey" Gerrit is pronounced "Herrit" Lotte is "Lotta" Judith is " Yoodit" Lars is "Larce" , Sharon is "Sha----RON" , Joost is "Yoast" , Jordy is "Yordy" , Iris is "EEEris"
