    I would strongly advise against anyone putting their full name along with mother's maiden name on a public board.

    Family legend has it that the World Middleweight Champ Jack Dempsey "Non-Pareil" who was born John Edward Kelly in Ireland took his name from my great great grandfather on my mum's side "fighting" Jack Dempsey a notorious Irish bare knuckle prize fighter that fought all comer's on the New York docks.

    So impressed was Kelly that he took my forefathers name for his ring name, every Irish family know doubt has a tale to tell, but i'am sure that this one has more fact to it than fiction.:D
