Just that really. I met a girl named Betsy Blue and I’ll never forget that! Felt like a name from a book.

Any boys’ names that stood out to you?

I can't think of any Boy names right now but years ago I met a toddler girl called Sunday Joy.

Oh, I used to know, well talk to occasionally, an American woman on a forum and her son was called Ransom. Hmm

Greengreen88 · 17/08/2019 20:55

Sunday Joy! That’s a great name.

Ransom not so much!

Spencer, it’s so old fashioned now that it must be due a come back
Spence or Spenny to his mates.

It just sounds really solid to me

I know someone who has a Maverick and a Stetson. In fairness they are from Colerado.

The coolest boy I ever knew (he was ds's older buddy when he started kindergarten) was called Zeno.

Stopping to buy some mangoes on a small Caribbean island a little toddler ran out into the road followed by the mother shouting his name.........Aristotle. I wonder if he is now a professor of philosophy?

Another I have come across is Atilla. Seemed a nice child. Just hope he didn't turn out to be like his predecessor.
