Basically these days anything with an A on the end is considered fair game for girls. Poor little things: a whole generation where 1 in 4 kids is named after a thing rather than as a person.

Though if it wasn't too late for me I'd quite like Ribena for a baby girl Grin

Actually, I think my last ones are more boys' names, or in some cases suitable for both.

There was someone called Margarine. It was just after Flora came onto the market and when the childs father went to register her he couldn't remember what the name was that his wife wanted. He just remembered it was to do with a spread!

Sertraline is a good one. With sisters Fluoxetine and Venlafaxine. Full names on birth certificate only.

Serty, Fluxy & Venny for short.

@housely I LOVE that! How do you pronounce it? Is it as its spelt? X

Housely · 10/02/2022 19:15

More or less. It’s sort of Eye-r-liss but the Eye and r run into each other. Not a very good explanation, sorry!
