I knew a little boy called Isaac. That's a nice name. Unless your surname's Dick. Which it is. (say it aloud and watch the chaps queue up...)

Every time this topic comes up I'm reminded of the lad called cheyenne higginbottom my dad taught in a derbyshire pit village school in the late 1950s....

Definitely the worst name I've every heard.though my pet peeve is uneek spellings hyphenated with mai/mae/maeee and other UN necessary vowels!

Wayne Bow! That is bloody brilliant!
