Isis is lovely. The rest are dreadful.

Achilles would be a good name for a dog though... "Achilles! Heel!"

I have an Isis and she is wonderful!

Achilles Spartacus Mars??

Nope, not an April Fool's wind-up.

Poor children.

Isis is a gorgeous name.

Cruel to the children!

Best start bullying them now and be done with it.

I think the fact that they've chosen to be in the news says a lot. If you like unusual names, then fine, go for it. But this couple clearly want to broadcast it to the nation to make some kind of statement ('Hey we're whacky and interesting'I guess)and personally I find that a bit odd and a little unfair on the children.

I mean, it's like calling a boy Great Big Horny Love Machine. It's not kind.

harleyd · 23/03/2008 10:45

i like it

Goodness me, poor old Romeo Casanova Valentino, he's got some pressure on him to be good with the ladies. I feel sorry for him when he goes through his spotty geek phase when he thinks that girls are boring and silly.

the oldest boy is called Romeo Romaeo
