Just got back from the park where we met a child called Tiara. Obviously I can't vouch for the spelling but thought all you expectant mummies would be dying to add that one to your lists...

One of the ladies who was in hospital at the same time I was having ds called her baby girl Sissy-Sparkle. No kidding. She was in the room next to me and we got talking, I asked what she's called her and I really didn't know what to say! I think I said something along the lines of 'ooo how pretty'

There was at least 2 Pocohontas's in Dublin the year the movie was out.

I know a little girl called Zandalee!!

margosbeenplayingwithmynoonoo · 10/04/2008 12:14

Do you know a child called Xanadu as well? (can you remember the song - did O Newton-John sing it?)

margosbeenplayingwithmynoonoo · 10/04/2008 12:15

He he, "Zandalee and Xanadu, come in for your Tea!"

Tiara is getting to be very, very common round where I live.

In fact you could say that there is quite a 'Tiara boom today!'

Dur, like many wisecracks, it's gone straight over my head.

I've come across the Glasgow McClatchey twins as well, although I have it on good authority that apparently it's pronounced "Ver- sayse" which is oh so much more amusing...

There's a Pocahontas in Paisley.

My hairdresser's'friend called her daughter Fennel

I met a girl yesterday called Autumn. I asked her if her birthday was in the autumn, and she said, "no, March". I wonder what her parents were thinking? My MIL is called May, but then she was born in May, which makes a lot more sense.

Oh I forgot about this one. I knew twins at school who was into lorry racing and their middle names were Scania and Volvo. Fortunately their middle names.
