That whatever ridiculous moniker you give your DC they will grow up. Did anyone see the 1% game show with Lee Mack? The poor guy in the audience who's parents gave him the name Attila Annus? Just remember that when you are coming up with more and more ridiculous names just so your child will be different. Children don't LIKE being different.

You are not naming a baby, you are naming a person.

Babies aren't babies for long, they're not toddlers for long, and usually they are adults for many, many decades.

You might change your mind about the name when it is no longer new and fresh

I agree, kids HATE to be different! Are you reading this, mother of Atlas?

I always say - remember you are naming a real person, who will spend more of their life as an adult than a cute baby/toddler.

That being said, I love lee Mack - one of my favourite comedians but I felt uncomfortable for the poor guy having the Micky taken of his name, and the guy didn’t look that amused either.
