I am due a baby soon. I am finding names very hard this time. I really liked the name Fred/Freddie (would be Frederick) and the name Ted/Teddy (Edward). But now I've got something weird in my head where all I can think about is people like Feed West or Ted Bundy and there are other names too.
Am I completely mental/unreasonable?

I'm sort of blaming hormones..

Huge amount of Reggie and Ronnies being registered as new occupants of parents homes in my job (housing officer).
Not particularly nice names and quite unfair on the children IMO.

Reg and Ron are nice for grown ups I think.

once taught a boy called Michael Myers - which was unfortunate, don't think his parents had ever watched Halloween !

I’d have been associating him with Austin Powers.

You can really never hear Vlad without adding 'the impaler'.

I know a Vlad who is really lovely, but I admit for ages after I met him I did mentally tag 'the Impaler' to any mention of his name.
