I like slightly unusual names for girls (I have a very old name that was v unusual when I was growing up, quite popular now though - bah!) but traditional names for boys.

think BS only used much in US. and then I thought it was only really used on TV when they're not allowed to swear (e.g. on CSI)

Sure methusalah (sp?) is due for a comeback. I think beelzebub is great, is a shame about the associations...

Sorry Georgina, hope I didn't offend. I actually really like the name and if it hadn't been so popular then maybe...
My problem is being a teacher names go with faces.

We still mostly all call her 'baby'

But boys names are easy. It's only girls' names that are hard.

Hey, aloha, while you're here, do you want me to get you a couple of those jigsaws? They are only £1.99 each!
