BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Someone I know who used to work for an insurance company said she had to check life insurance application forms. A parent wanted insurance on their child and put the first name of the child as "Brain". She thought this was a mistake and should have been "Brian". If left it would invalidate the insurance so she sent the form back for correction. The form was returned with a note saying that the child was called "Brain". Parents should think carefully about the names we give their children! They have to live with them! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
