But Gladys and Elsie must have been babies once!Grin. I do wonder what it will be like with all these OAPs in 70 odd years with names like blue sky, bunny bear, Shiraz etc!Grin. All the young Gladi and Elsies will be like Hmm

Yeah they were babies once,70 years ago where those dreadful names should have stayed.

I knew a family of red heads called Saffron, Blaze, Rufus and Leo. I rather liked their name choices though I suppose if one child had been born blonde or brunette it would have thrown the theme out rather!

I had to take a radiograph of patient, Roger Mashitter, I Checked the spelling of the surname as I typed it with the patient and did all I could not to start howling.

I went to school with a girl called Pepsi, apparently that's what her mum craved throughout the whole of her pregnancy...

My friend named her little boy Storm which would be fine had my mums old dog not been called Storm!

Dd went to preschool with a little boy called Dizzy. Always made me giggle as that was nickname of the biggest stoner at college. Poor mite - destined not to be taken seriously.

I know at least 2 children called Storm.

Maybe it depends where you live,no one would think Storm was that unusual around here.

The footballers Gary and Phillip Nevilles' dad is called Neville Neville.

CremeEggThief · 30/08/2012 09:50

Not sure of the spelling, but I knew of a girl called Elinestra Dick, once upon a time!

fluffyracoon · 30/08/2012 09:52

I have name changed for this because I would be instantly recognisable.

R J Paul. That was his full name. The R and the J were not short for anything, that was his given name.

LizzieVereker · 30/08/2012 09:54

I have known children called Fox, Charleyboy and Twinkle (a boy). I know an adult called Michael Michael.

Old fashioned girl's names are very popular here (Dora, Beatrice) and I quite like them. But I bet the name Fanny never regains its popularity..

It's not that it's that unusual Usual Confused I just can't help associating it with a big soppy Standard Poodle :)

On holiday last week there was a little girl called Syria. A pretty name, I think, but given that it's constantly in the news in atrocious contexts, it seems a bit unfortunate.

YeahBuddy · 30/08/2012 10:01

I also read an article once about a woman who was pregnant with triplets. She already had a DS named Flash and I remember her wanting to call one of the triplets Moss but I can't remember the other two. They were all equally Hmm though...

SecretNutellaMedallist · 30/08/2012 10:03
