Worst name you have ever come across.

Someone who loved Judge Dread was going to call child Dread. Thankfully was persuaded otherwise.

think I have too! Lilith is a great name - what have I missed? whats the joke?

I agree, there was a baby Valentina at DD's nursery, I always loved it

Chantelle.

There is an Alabama Peach at my child’s nursery. Not first and middle.

Oh they have some lovely names in that region!

I worked in a hotel and came across names from all over the world, but nothing came close to the Sunshine, Glory, Blossom, Rising and Blessing I met!
The ladies names were particularly lovely!

Only 1 N in the ship 😁

I love the name Valentina!

Peter.

One of my DCs was at primary school with a Wednesday whose brother was called Kal-El.
I've just totally outed us.

Ronnie and Reggie for twins (fine on their own but cringe on twins)

lucifer (I know two who did this)

I decided against Damian even though I really liked the name because I didn’t want my child to sound evil for multiple people to name their children lucifer ffs 😂

It is. It's the name of the wife of Dr Edward Wilson - he went to the South Pole with Robert Falcon Scott (along Captain Oates, Lieutenant Bowers and Petty Officer Evans) with and, of course, they all tragically died on the return journey.

Except you've spelt it wrong. Nevaeh.

I didn't know that, but have worked with several people called Melina over the years-close enough!

Me too! Such beautiful and memorable names.

Much nicer than the overused top 10 names….

Binkie for a girl. In Scotland.
Bart for a boy. In Scotland.

Also forgot to say

Charlie and billie on a girl (including all spelling variations)

Jesse is super popular though for a boy these days, would have been fine? More popular than Jessica for a girl which is a little dated.

Jaxon.

I have posted this before, but in my Year 8 diary I have a list of top ten names for girls and boys, and the girls' list along with Sandra and Samantha, has Killashandra (from the book The Crystal Singer, which I must re-read, actually, to see why I liked it so much as a 12 year old. No doubt it was totally inappropriate).

The most unfortunate one I came across was a name which did not "translate" well; Harshit (alternatively spelled Harshid, it depends how you transliterate the script) is a perfectly OK name in the home country, but you can imagine the teasing...
Ciliphat, we dodged the issue by calling her Cilla.

Jail

104 Adelaides born in England and Wales in 2024. It's a pretty name.

My Great-Grandmother was Valentina, born on Valentine's Day! It's my middle name and I love it. DF and DS both have the male version, Valentine, as middle names.
A few people have jumped on you for this one, but I don't think you need to be sorry for having an opinion - tbh, I am posting here under my real name, and I've heard far worse about my first name than the middle one!

Roderick is nicer than Rodney. I quite like Roderick. I'd probably shorten to Rick though, over Rod.

Everyone in Scotland is a fanny at least once a day 😂
