My next-door-neighbour accused me of stealing her baby's name. My DS3 is Heath, now she is thinking of Keith

Lol at Cowdenbeath!
My ex partner's son was called Keith. He was 16. It really didn't suit him AT ALL! Who calls a baby Keith? It's like calling a baby Cyril.

My DH is called Keith. He's only 40. Just to say its not all 60-70yr olds. I wouldn't be calling any son of mine (and I have 3) Keith though.

Reminds me of a friend (not English) who wanted to call her son Nigel. Thankfully we managed to dissuade her on the back of comparing it (unfavourably) to names she didn't like.

I went to school with a Keith who would now be 40/41 (maybe it is Loueytb3's DH!). It was a bit of a comedy name even then.

Didn't they say on Family Guy that the worst name ever is Keith?

Apologies to all named Keith but it is just a dreadful name.

My BiL is called Keith. He's 40 ish.

A neighbour also accused me if stealing her baby names. Except I had no kids at the time. But apparently I stole her names and gave themto my dogs. My digs are older than her children and I didn't know her when I named them Confused She's moved away now. Perhaps she's now OP's neighbour?

Ha!

Let her go ahead with that.

DD would have been Heath if she'd been a DS.
Keith though? Lol. Do try and explain it to her if she's not British.
My non-Western colleague just had a baby Roger. Unfortunately they didn't discuss names first, so it was too late to warn them it has another meaning that they won't be aware of.

In my head, the name Keith is always said a la Alison Steadman from 'Nuts In May' shows age.

Please tell her how awful Keith is OP! How is she even aware of it? Watching reruns of Cheggers Plays Pop?! shows age again.
