OK - I'm going to start this thread and go out for the day and only come in wearing an asbestos suit, but

...I've just been looking through the class lists at dd's grammar school and I've realized that there are 150 girls in her year and there are no - and I mean no - unusual or differently spelled first names. There is a Cherry and a Jordan and a couple of names from other cultures that I don't know whether are unusual or not, - but apart from that they are ALL called very traditional, very top 100 for the past 500 years type names. Any thoughts anyone?

What's a grammar school?
seriously

I found the opposite reading the prize giving list at the uber, uber posh London girls school where MiL works. There were lots of traditional and non-English names but also Storm, FiFi, Anoushka, Perdita, Lettice and Sienna

I could supply hilarious examples of silly names from similarly uber-posh girls school that I once attended. I think the only difference between them and Bailey-Kai or whoever is that the uber posh ones would usually be a name that is in all the baby name books, if not one that is used a lot. Bailey-Kai probably isn't and Perdita almost certainly is.

Hyphenation would also be a complete no-no.
