We have a boy and girl both called Devon. One of our current children has a little sister who's middle name is Bunny (because of her ears according to dad)

I've heard of Acon (apparently that's after a rapper I just thought someone had missed an 'r' out!!)

Heard someone shouting in Big W today 'Keno' which I thought was some sort of card game.

However I do call my DS2 Bobbin as a pet name and I've got some funny looks when people obviously assume it's his real name.

I like Hendrix. Wouldn't use it myself - more of an Oscar/Felix gal, but it is a nice name.
