While she was pregnant, Clare Ricci of Manchester, England, visited Taylor’s Fish and Chip Shop every day for chips and curry.
When her daughter arrived in late 2005, Clare’s “family and friends weren’t surprised” to learn that she and her partner James had decided to name the baby Taylor after the chip shop.
(To be fair, the name Taylor was already under consideration, but the chip shop association did put it over the top.)
