Someone who loved Judge Dread was going to call child Dread. Thankfully was persuaded otherwise.

Someone was asking about Busby on here the other day, I thought that was pretty bad. There are a couple of other infamous ones on here but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

I’m an ex-teacher, so have seen some awful names. However, I would never be rude enough to share them. The only time it is appropriate to make negative comments about names is if one is asked for views before the baby is named.

My youngest son has one of the most hated names on mumsnet so I'm prepared to see that one pop up.
I almost changed it when he was little but glad I didn't as he loves it as much as I do.
