Remember the old discussions on where names came from. Someone brought up they'd never heard of Kerr, and others pointed out the name was familiar from home canning. In fact, I have a Kerr jar in my house. Underneath the embossed script "Kerr" is the phrase "Wide-mouth Mason jar". Avon could be a big-mouth sometimes. Masons are a secretive lot who supposedly have esoteric knowlege. I wonder if the name *was* inspired by the canning jar, after all.

There is also the Australian Kerry Packer - was it 'short' for something?
