Any other names that would draw similar howls of "Nooooo! Do you hate your baby?!"

I love Cornelius, Horatio Barnabus and Queenie.

Also love Cecil, Basil, Bertram and Reginald

Names often said no to on mn. I think they are amazing.

We have 2 Dorcases and a Princess in my school at the moment. I would have said Barry, but I taught one of those 3 years ago. Once you know a child with the name, you get used to it very quickly (after the initial WTF).
