There was a child in a magazine the other day called 'Toffee'. NOT a nickname. Amazing.

I overheard a man calling his child the other day: "Bono!" There was a brother too, sadly didn't catch his name.

LOL a Halloumi. Fifer quite good - id Diesel is ok, how about Missoni for a girl or celery? They all sound good. Loft for a boy?

I actually saw a couple on supernanny who called their baby Diesel.

Sean Keaveney was talking on his radio show this morning about how he thought Halloumi was a lovely name for a girl (he was going to his wife's 20 week scan this afternoon).

DessieLou · 12/08/2010 19:00

How about Fifer for a boy? Not sure it's hugely creative but can't be that many about!
