Afton, Lekman, Leka, Alvine and Kulla. What do you think?

I think you've been to IKEA.

been to ikea?

There is a child somewhere in the UK called Ikea.

Sure enough, there was an Ikea born in the UK, but it was more than three years ago.

Linda Dagless, who was 26 at the time, named her fourth daughter after the furniture store in May 2002.

At the time, she told her local paper in Norwich: "I was pregnant, sitting on the sofa with my boyfriend and trying to think of a name for the little girl I was going to have when I noticed the Ikea advert.

"I saw the name Ikea and thought it would make a nice name for my baby.

"I have seen the Ikea adverts on the telly and in magazines and thought they always had nice furniture, but I've never been to the shop. I'm now planning to go there with my mum."

By the way, did you know that IKEA names aren't just random words - they have a plan....
