Well, I have a number of points in favour of my keeping ‘Alistair’:
- I am older and came by my name first.
- ‘Alistair’ is actually my name. His name is ‘Alastair’. Note the equitable use of a’s and i’s in my name and the flashy, OTT use of three a’s in his name. In fact, were I not a man of grace and kindness, I might say his name is rather one i’ed.
- I am, actually, the only one of us both who is in this group.
For all these reasons, I am Alistair, no matter what heights of internet fame Alastair may attain.
