Budd for an adult might be a lot touch American, but where would you go with Petal Blossom Rainbow? All beautiful words, but (sorry Jamie, I think you're ace) I would hate being called Petal or Blossom as an adult.

If it helps J&J, I love Poppy and Daisy... and my dog is called Boo Smile.

mamaLou13. I don't mind the girls names but calling a boy Buddy Bear is just wrong. It sounds like the parents let his 5 year old sister name him after a visit to Build-A-Bear. Much too twee and babyish for my liking.

Jamie olivers children are called Poppy Honey, Daisy Boo, Buddy Bear and Petal Blossom Rainbow. Personally i think they are beautiful names!

What's wrong with Ivy? I don't particularly love it myself but why is it any different to Holly or May?

I met Kuki (as in the biscuit) Krumbel Smith once on holiday. The parents told me that they put Smith in there in case she wanted a normal name. She was a very cool little girl though, so carried Kuki off well!

Delaney-Rae in the Bonny Babies of tonight's paper

scortja, I really think you do Grin.

Boys would be Wesley.

Girls, I have an irrational dislike for the name Lola (I always start singing she was a showgirl).

Lambzig · 10/09/2012 15:13

Oh dear DD's name and four of the names on our shortlist for the DC I am pregnant with have turned up on this thread. Not weird names at all, just out of popularity standard english names.

I guess its just a matter of taste.

scortja · 10/09/2012 14:59

LaChardonnay.

Tyranny.

Kartelle.

but then my son's middle name is Achilles so perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about..

There was a Randy Farmer on telly the other day....made me chuckle !

Frontpaw · 10/09/2012 12:23

Is that a name? Sounds a bit nautical (Keel and...)

StealthPolarBear · 10/09/2012 12:21

stargirl "Jehane" is an old French feminine version of the French "Jean", I used to know a Jehane and she said it was pronounced like "Jane".

Frontpaw · 10/09/2012 11:13

Cara Mia, which is a bit cute!

Daddykrissypops · 10/09/2012 10:57

I know a Tia Marie! Too close to the drink!
Someone else I know, his partner wanted both grand fathers names, which isn't too bad, but he had to explain why John Thomas wasnt a sensible choice! Lol
Was stood at the bus stop the other day and although the name is fine, (and I'm not being racist at all) but I though Jamal didnt really suit a Caucasian child. Just seemed a little weird!
Was expecting to look and see him blinged up

My daughter has A Dior in her class and there's was a Rocket at Nursery!

drjohnsonscat · 10/09/2012 09:43

Yes Comfort I think you can get away with. It's fairly common in itself. But not with that surname Grin

gazzalw · 10/09/2012 06:39

Comfort is quite a popular name in London methinks...

I quite like Dandelion - wasn't Keith Richard's son originally called that or am I imagining it???

I once knew a Sorrel and she was lovely - a bit of a hippy chick in the best possible way....

You do often find though that these 'way off piste' type of names can encompass both ends of the social spectrum...

drjohnsonscat · 09/09/2012 20:44

Speaking of Sanpro - Comfort Shields. Not a child but an actual person.

BuntyPenfold · 09/09/2012 18:53

I know a Leaf. It is definitely not Lief;I've seen the register.

Yesterday I met a Dandelion. Several people were Hmm but I quite like it.

MamaLazarou · 09/09/2012 18:07

Maudlyn and Misery (not from the same family).
