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

Just because a name has been used in a book and people haven't heard it outside the context of that book, it doesn't necessarily mean it was taken from that book.

Meriadoc is a perfectly good name of Welsh origin. Like Hermione wasn't invented by JKR, it wasn't just dreamed up for the purposes of LOTR.

And no, none of my children are called Meriadoc...or Hermione, for that matter.

My friend pronounced it Hermey - one and I can't ever get past that now

I also recently met a baby Gary. Not an unusual name but quite jarring on someone with a rattle and a bib.

Here is baby Gary, he is going to talk you through the benefits of an electric vehicle and the financing available to you...

Sadly Candida, which is beautiful in sound and in its Latin origin but is only associated with thrush to my ear

There’s a toothpaste brand in Switzerland (and possibly other countries) with this name, I can’t bring myself to buy it
