Something which we have all used I think. The shopping trolley used in supermarkets.

Sorry BB. Not Aubrey, that is still used as a boys and a girls name. The one I am thinking of changed as a result of a novel of the same name.
A boy with this name now would be extremely unusual, and would, mostly likely have a complex about it. At one time it was common amongst boys.
Not Dorian...this is still used as a boys name. Also the novel is a bit older.
Actually I can only think of one man (since the novel) with this name and he changed it and became a wrestler !
That's the one Frenchie. Shirley was once a boys name but changed to a girls name after the novel 'Shirley' by Charlotte Bronte (1849). Since then it has been hardly used for boys - apart from Big Daddy that is. Over to you.
I learnt to drive in Oz in 1971, where they had ceased to be a requirement a few years previously - on my first trip back four years later, I asked my dad to teach me them & he said they had just been done away with. So presumably sometime in 1975?
I was going to go with my birth year, 1973. It is possible that they could now form part of the theory test, but that would need checking with someone who has taken it recently.
