Why is it on here that people think it's perfectly fine to call babies commonly used names but jump up and down in horror at suggestions for something different? (and I'm guilty of this as well).
Would life not be a bit more interesting if school classrooms had a selection of kids called Marmaduke, Zazie, Juniper, Wilfred, Tallulah and Astrid? More interesting and less confusing than a class of 20 containing 3 Ruby's, 2 Olivia's, 3 Emily's, 2 Harry's, 3 Daniel's and 3 Thomas's. If you see what I mean. Why are we so mean to people who fancy something a bit 'different'.........?
Surely variety is the spice of life?
