"Jack Earing and Enock Likoy-Elumba." Far cry from Tommy Banks and Johnny Ball......

I occasionally pass the time by looking at the names of players in England's various youth teams; they tell us a lot about naming styles.

U20s have a Harry Winks and a Ted Smith, who could have come straight from any First Division team in the 1930s, while the U19s have a Tosin Adarabioyo and a Tammy Abraham, who probably couldn't. The U17s have the following wonderful smorgasbord of names:

Isn't there a Chalobah that Chelsea have loaned out to all and sundry over the last few years? Any relation? I'd look myself but I can't really be arsed tbh.

Little bit like my 4yr old daughter's "league of nations" class at school. Jax-Ewan, anyone?

But, what the u-17s lack is the plethora of double barrelled surnames that kids have in her class - 25% of them! As Mark E Smith might have put it, It's The New Thing.
