Just discovered 'Surprised by Five' on Instagram... Basically a lady who has had quints, also has a couple of older kids.

Anyway, they're called Beatrix, Penelope, Tiffany, Allie....... And Keith!

I love it!

I thought fellow MN name lovers would like to know too, as Keith is usually ummed and aaahed about on the 'is it due a comeback?' threads!

There's a Keith at my kids' school, he's probably about 10.

WaitrosePigeon · 12/05/2016 06:32

It's totally dreadful but would be funny.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 12/05/2016 06:28

Keeeeeeeeith (I can't even say it properly) even beats Nigel and Trevor IMO.

Not even Keith Richard makes it cool.

I've got several Uncle Keiths (hasn't everyone?) The ones that aren't called Keith are called Brian. Or Derek.

Tiffany is worse if you ask me. Keith is not great but at least it's a traditional name originally.

Ankleswingers · 12/05/2016 05:48

Sorry .. Keith Keagan...er no!

I was thinking of Kevin!!

Grin Grin

Equally as bad IMO

Ankleswingers · 12/05/2016 05:46

Not read through all of thread but Keith is awful.

Fab name for a cat but, on a person, no.

I always associate Kevin with keagan, chegwin and Lemon.

Don't do it.

KoalaDownUnder · 12/05/2016 05:38

They are from the same city as me - Perth, Western Australia!

(And no, Keith is not making a comeback here, as far as I know. Although, tbf, nor is Tiffany...)

When my friends named their baby girl Enid last year everyone assumed it was a family name.

It wasn't.

Niklepic · 11/05/2016 21:18

My dad is Keith. Lovely as his is, I can safely say my son in NOT named after him.

lovelyandnormal · 11/05/2016 21:16

It is the 'th' I don't like - 'keef'.

DurhamDurham · 11/05/2016 21:13

I've an uncle called Keith and he looks like an even creepier version of Michael Flatley........ Therefore all Keiths creep me out.

DeadAsADildo · 11/05/2016 21:13

I think it's just a normal name. Is that because I'm Scottish and old?

wtffgs · 11/05/2016 21:10

It's a fab name for a cat!

DramaAlpaca · 11/05/2016 21:09

I know a Keith aged 80 and another aged 20. Both are awesome.

I still wouldn't call one of mine Keith.

RhubarbAndMustard · 11/05/2016 20:58

I love Keith! Definitely due a revival along with Kenneth.

Kittykatmacbill · 11/05/2016 20:50

I was just talking about this! Keith is a great name for a toddler, boy and man. But a baby not so much... There can be no more Keiths...

passingthrough1 · 11/05/2016 20:31

Eek Keith Confused ... I wonder if Kevin could come back too ..

I do know a baby Desmond.

I like Heath too, how odd. Why is the K so offensive? Confused

They are antipodean, New Zealanders I think!

Keith is ace! As someone married to one, it's high time it made a come back. If John can, why not Keith, Nigel and Derrick?!

badg3r · 11/05/2016 19:27

I really don't like it! But I LOVE Heath. Weird.

maggiethemagpie · 11/05/2016 18:46

I met a Keith the other day and was thinknig it was a nice name! Def due a revival.

NewYearNewToads · 11/05/2016 18:44

It rhymes with teeth.
