My surname (and therefore my husbands!) is French. My hubby, Del, used to be called Froggy at school, as does my son. No idea when the tradition of calling the French frogs started, but it seems like it is done in an amicable way nowadays. I am sure there are worse names to call someone! PS - I agree, frogs are well cute. There is a bunch in my mum's pond at the moment and I am sure they are fed up with me photographing them!
