Guys, this name list. thestir.cafemom.com/pregnancy/207174/brand_new_baby_girl_names Can't tell if it's supposed to be serious. I fear it is.

I've met several Candida's - it's quite posh apparently!

How can they have beautiful names like Iseult, which is hardly brand new, with horrors like Melanin. "Ooh hello Mel what's your name short for - Melanie? Melody maybe?" "Nah, it's Melanin, my parents were hipster idiots "

Melanin? Linux? Caliber?

The world has gone bananas.

(I quite like Hestia, and Iseult.)

not quite the same, but I did see a boat named Candida once.

Sounds like someone read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and didn't get the joke

Lovely, you could have Veruca Bubonic to really finish it off nicely.

Chaffinch4 · 21/09/2017 12:47

Yikes, they're all pretty awful (thatcher???), except for Pippi which is a normal name and randomly thrown in there amongst all the insanity!

They missed a trick. I think 'Pustule' has a similar vibe but nicer ring to it.

I don't think it means the foot virus in America, it's just a name there so if the site is based there...
