[ReeseWitherfork]

Anyone seen this? Entertaining list. Poor George, not sure he deserves to be there.

It’s embarrassingly bad, isn’t it?

The writer is obviously either stupid or really young, so let’s be kind and assume it was a kid on work experience.

Oh no my baby's name is on there

Only got through "Emmi" and stopped reading. Some of these names are ridic and complletely made up (or obvious mistakes), others totally normal. Based on the comments on the traditional names she disses, the author seems to be oddly monolingual and monocultural.

Half of these names are completely normal, the others are obviously made up. I’m a bit gutted I didn’t see this article before naming DD though otherwise I’d have called her Boomquifa Elizabreath

So how do you pronounce Nevaeh?

The comment about it not being pronounced the way it's spelled confused me .

I thought it was nah - vey - ah but I might be wrong

I only encountered this name in the wild once, and it was pronounced something like Nevaya.

Also “Ahmiracle” used for 800 babies a year? Wonder where!

Neveah = heaven backwards. That's what makes it awful.

Nevaeh Why is this name spelt nothing like it is pronounced?

I bet the writer thinks this is niamh.

I like the name Doyle

Quite a few lovely names on that list.

Mine and my twin sister's on there - we're Phelony and Inspektor, of course

Nigel is hardly a 40 year old. More like 50-65 years old. The list sounds like it was written by a 13 year old. Load of rubbish.

Nasty article

I used to work with a couple of Nigels who would both be around 43 Now

Did someone get paid to write that?

George is my sons middle name. The sun said peppa pig had ruined it

I like Alice, Arthur, George, John and Simon. I don't see anything that bad about Arabella, Mia, Arlo and Dennis. And I kind of like Geoffrey, while recognising that it would still probably seem too dated for a baby now.

Stupid. They said something means something 'in African'.

What's wrong with Louis?

@Onlinedilema

What's wrong with Louis?

I was just going to say that too?

And the comment underneath asking if anyone else just think of Louis Walsh... er, no

Did you write this, OP?

I always found Emma's diary quite patronising and simplistic. This article is infantile.

I agree they're pretty awful!

Some are just overused. The number of Alice's, Arlos and Arthur's is unreal
