Anyone else been surprised at what people in their lives have called their children?

Only once, when a family with three older children who all had traditional Thomas the tank engine style names then called their youngest son 'Radar'

I was surprised when my sister called her baby the same name as the family dog!

We named the dog Indiana.

None of those I'm afraid.

CastleTower · 08/01/2023 19:39

This is so I intriguing. I'm going to guess Aran like the jumpers.

Ahh little Bow tie, we must know the same people.

That's the one, with his sister Balaclava and cousin Wrapdress.

Yes. 'Griffin' was misjudged, in my opinion, but of course I'm keeping it to myself!

Similar... Dante raised eyebrows. I just smiled.

The DC is living up to the name too. I keep on smiling...

I'm guessing Parker, but I'd rather it was Anorak.
