Just discovered 'Surprised by Five' on Instagram... Basically a lady who has had quints, also has a couple of older kids.

Anyway, they're called Beatrix, Penelope, Tiffany, Allie....... And Keith!

I love it!

I thought fellow MN name lovers would like to know too, as Keith is usually ummed and aaahed about on the 'is it due a comeback?' threads!

I don't like it at all. However my mother's shit of a brother was called Keith so I associate the name very strongly with him. If he'd been called something else (if I got a time machin I'd go back and suggest to my nana that she just christen him Twatty McTwat) I'd probably not dislike the name Keith as much.

Haha all, fair play.

Aw I don't want this to be a mean thread! I reckon it's a family name and they were like 'fuck it, Keith senior was awesome so we're gonna use it'. I like that.

Not that I would call my own DC Keith... 😄

Little baby Keith is super adorable, of course. Aw.

Ha ha, I assumed you were considering Keith for your baby and came on to say the the quintuplets family had just named their boy Keith.

Not quite ready for a comeback IMO, but maybe a high(ish) profile baby Keith is just what the name needs Grin

Keith is on a par with Nigel and Trevor. Which is to say, beyond the pale.

Keith is ace! As someone married to one, it's high time it made a come back. If John can, why not Keith, Nigel and Derrick?!

I do know a baby Desmond.

I like Heath too, how odd. Why is the K so offensive? Confused

They are antipodean, New Zealanders I think!

I was just talking about this! Keith is a great name for a toddler, boy and man. But a baby not so much... There can be no more Keiths...

I know a Keith aged 80 and another aged 20. Both are awesome.

I still wouldn't call one of mine Keith.

I think it's just a normal name. Is that because I'm Scottish and old?

I've an uncle called Keith and he looks like an even creepier version of Michael Flatley........ Therefore all Keiths creep me out.
