ever I picked my DD's name at 14! My Dad wasn't impressed as it was his Granny's name and he couldn't see the name on anyone other than his 99yr old Gran!

Yes but now many children are really called half of these names?

eg: Atticus how many are really kicking about in your local supermarket Waitrose Wink

Just giggled to myself at all the names I've liked for years that have been mentioned here.

AThingInYourLife · 15/05/2013 21:17

Ottilie and Romilly

The general rule is, if it was your grandads or grandmas name.

MN will love it.

Albert and Arthur are loved by the baby namers on MN.

I think they just post about outlandish names to throw others off the scent of the real names they're going to use in the vain hope they won't become too popular. This would explain the sudden love for hideous old lady/man names.
I have never met a real life Persephone (although secretly like the name), Ptolemy or many of those suggested on here.

I would have to say Persephone must be in the top 5. This seems to be the darling name of mumsnet. I have never ever heard of it in all my life until i joined mn.

ChasingStaplers · 15/05/2013 20:44

No one's mentioned Octavia yet. . .

Atticus makes me think of Bart Simpson's evil twin who was chained up in their attic.

Don't know about boys but girls would be Persephone and Maud. Both shockingly awful IMO.

ScrambledSmegs · 15/05/2013 19:53

Keith and Susan.

Actually I have no idea. But I'm one of those dull people who never bothered canvassing other people for opinions on names.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 15/05/2013 19:50

Arlo and Reuben

People may ridicule them but they always get slapped down pretty quickly usual suspect.

Somehow I don't think that would happen if people on a less middle class forum were taking the piss out of posh names. No big deal, I have a foot in both camps and don't care either way.

Just think it's funny that people get so outraged about name mockery on a generally fairly middle class site when the "Jayden" demographic probably wouldn't give a monkeys if it was the other way around.
