Ooh, I've just remembered one. I saw a young Fenton at a fencing competition a few years back at the height of the dog at Richmond Park debacle. Not so bad in itself, but his teacher did spend an awful lot of time forcefully barking, 'Fenton!' Fenton!' Rather more frequently than strictly necessary in my opinion.

Just goes to show you can't always predict the names people will make fun of.

@JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff nice story about Djhonny. I lived in Colombia for some time and Jhon was as you say a very aspirational choice for a boy's name. Many little girls at that time were named Ledidi - Lady Di Smile

Just remembered I also know a woman called Misty. She's really lovely and it really suits her, but she the only on I've heard of, in the UK anyway

I also know a Misty! Very approachable intelligent woman.

Rainbow - accountant from Taiwan
Cameo - as in brooch. Her mum named her after the brooch as she thought it was pretty.
Richenda - very nice, glamorous neighbour in PR.
Vinka - neighbour from former Yugoslavia in the 1970s.

Looc.
Pronounced as Luke, but is cool spelt backwards. Same thought process as people who use 'Nevaeh' I suppose.
