He was bullied for Quentin so he changed his name to Fat.

I know recent babies called Reuben, Remy, Sebastian, Arlo.

I quite like Norman ('granddad name' vibe) but it does seem a little out of the ordinary for his age group. Maybe he didn't feel like being something like Mark or Ian.

Won't be this year but me and my partner have decided on Harley for a boy

Quentin is really not unusual, is it? Most people will know Quentin Tarantino or the illustrator Quentin Blake. We know several young ones, including a 4 month old (London based).

Ziggy, on the other hand, is quite unusual. I wonder what it’s a nickname for?

I’ve known Ziggy to be a nickname for Zachary or alternatively a name in its own right

@Bellybellas @sparklyblueberry2 same, I know a few Ziggy/Siggy's and that's just their name. None of them are babies though. Aged 5-35!

Arlo
Mohammed
Samuel
Edmund

Only the last one was in anyway surprising!

*edted because I am dyslexic and having just read "Siggy" above typed Sigmund instead of Edmund - which would have been equally surprising

Mohammed or variations of it is the most popular baby name I believe.
I like Nathaniel (Nate) and Bartholomew (Bart.)
