Hi

The custom of calling family members with the same name 'Big' or 'Little',
depending on age, can cause embarassment in unguarded moments. My wife has a
brother and nephew both named Dan. She phoned her brother at work and without
thinking asked to be put through to 'Big Dan'. Needless to say he received a
merciless ribbing from colleagues.

cheers
Mike
