Adonis is a fairly standard Greek name for a boy. I did have to suppress a squawk when I was introduced an Adonis in Greece -not really quite the physical specimen I would have expected) imagined.
Bamboostalks Stripe hmmm! Was he named after the particularly evil one in Gremlins? Or Red Stripe? It does have a certain something.

Hi

A friend of a friend has twins and one is called Truly Scrumptious and the other has a relatively normal name
I just cant imagine in years to come all these children will be grannies and grandads and it will be really weird ( but probably the norm )

I like Hendrix. Wouldn't use it myself - more of an Oscar/Felix gal, but it is a nice name.
