Subject: townie names

i was thinking, on rare occasions, very rare, we hear townies call out each others names, but if you listen carefully, there seems to be a patten in the naming process.
There seems to be two methods of naming, the first, and most common it seems, is to use the full (or in extreme cases shortened versions) or the said townies surname.the second method involves a much more complicated thought process, and only the most highly evolved townies aquire such names, and these are the first one or two letters of their name with "z" or "v" tagged on to the end.For some reason, very few townies are known by their full names, perhaps this is because they cannot spell thier actual name, or they cannot remember it as some bizzarre garage music lyric has filled their allotted memory space. Further more, when the female townie produces offspring (around the ages of 14 and upwards) she will have some trouble of naming the child, as they have trouble recalling their own (full) name, they cannot think up another origional name, they therefore choose the name of the current pop star which they either 1)Fancy, or 2) aspire to be.
Anyway, i'll sit back and wait for all townies to argue with me, and i bet they'll be called gaz, or daz, or kev
