"It's a boy', 08/07/1983. "What", "it's a boy. We were a female oriented family and if there were any boys there was something wrong with them. We had not been prepared and did'nt even have a name for him. He was for the first two weeks known as boy Shortland. When we agreed on a name we went to town and and named him 'NIGEL RAMON PAUL SHORTLAND.'
