Who broke the MN rules when it came to naming their babies?

[MissingMyMarbles]

Just had a look at the MN name ad at the top of the page, seems there are a lot of MN rules

DD1 has a very unusual name with a slightly unusual spelling - suits her down to the ground and we love it.

DD2 has, according to MN, got a very common name, perhaps even considered 'chavvy' by some, although we don't know anyone else by the same name, and it's not in the top 100 for England or Wales. It's also Welsh, and we are not, although we both have Celtic heritage (me more than DH) so Welsh blood is a possibility. We have to correct the pronunciation with most people. And, her middle name is French, and we are not. But, again, it suits her down to the ground and we love it.

Oh, and both their names mean the same thing - that was a coincidence, because initially I thought DD2's name meant something else as I have loved it for years, but only found out it's actual meaning when I was pregnant with her.

So who else has broken The Rules and couldn't give a hoot?

Me! I chose a surname for a name name

I like it. But needs to be slightly edgier.

I'm thinking Prinz Harpoonz Killah Walez...

My DS1's name breaks the rules. Unusual with crazy spelling. Was naive in naming him but I loved it and really don't care about the comments anymore :)

I broke my own rule, and at least 1 MN rule.

I do love how my 2yr old thinks his name is bim bam. (RL is Abraham).

Ezza1

or Prinz R-poonz Killah Walez?

I live R-poonz!

Two middle names and nickname as first name, and it ends in ie which is twee to the extreme apparently.

Oh and it's one of the much loathed 'old lady names'.

Of course the lady she's named after would be 112 if she was still alive and that's pretty old by anyone's book...

My DS has an alliteration And I don't care, I love the name.
