Laire.. it's Spanish and I can't pronounce it! I come out with something that's a cross between Lairy and Lady.

Arthur is the 4th most popular name in England and Wales. It's more surprising you haven't met any!

I knew a couple who named their son Ebenezer (he'd be about 13 now).

They weren't originally from the UK and have since moved, but I can only assume they didn't have the same cultural association with Scrooge.

Ebenezer means 'God is my rock' and I think they liked the meaning behind it.

Anna and Arna that’s ridiculous.

Arthur’s are no surprise. They’re everywhere.

Oh I love Bonhomie.
Ive met a little Donna who’d be around 19 now.

He was the first (only) Arthur I have met.
Very cheeky little boy. Always had a big grin.
Heather is a nice change to hear for a young girl. We know a heather. And a hazel.

There are an awful lot of young Arthurs about though....

But Anna and Arna... oh blimey

I met a Bonhomie a while ago, which I quite liked actually.

A toddler called Heather. I thought it was adorable.
