Just wondering if we think these names are usable again. Eric already seems to be back in. I don't think any of these are inherently horrible words (except maybe Derek!)? What do we think - are any ok?

Neil
Alan
Keith
Ian
Martin
Malcolm
Trevor
Clive
Derek
Paul
Brian
Graham
Barry
Kenneth
Glen
Philip
Nigel
Colin
Terence
Kevin

I don't like Clarkson but do like Corbyn. However there are many people called Jeremy and amongst those you may find some you do like :-).

Both of DS middle names are on your list.
One I genuinely like, one less so and was after a family member.

Also, Jeremy Kyle.

Also Hunt. There was Jeremy Hardy, I suppose.

All absolutely awful/ bordering on child abuse

Child abuse?! think they're great solid names that men would happily be called (Unlike someone me of the current cutesy names like Alfie or Teddie)!
