A friends children (they're around 6 and 11) are called Frank and Eric. Sounds odd on children.

There’s a Keith where I live as well, he’s 8 😂 his dad is Big Keith and then there’s a long line of Keiths that all came before him. Also Barry. Someone my husband knows named their baby Barry. Little Baby Barry.
I couldn’t keep a straight face if someone told me that their baby is Barry

My sister used to go out with a bloke called Jolyon. Apparently it's a medieval form of Julian. It's pronounced Jo - ly - on.

I used to really tease her about it - it's so arsey.

Did he boast about beating a fox to death on Boxing Day whilst wearing his wife’s comono? 😜

Adult names on kids freak me out. I know a little boy named after his dad, he’s called Alan. Which to me is the name of a guy who’d give you a quote to re-tile your bathroom, not a toddler 🙈😂

Also naming kids proper “baby” names grinds on me, it’s as if people don’t realise their kids will grow up! Teddy is cute on a newborn but imagine applying for a job as an adult called Teddy. Just no 😳

But then they become Ted!

My name is quite childish and I dislike it even more so now I’m in my mid-30s. I hate the shortened versions of it and nicknames. I just wish I was called something average.

I once met a three year old called Nikki. Quite cute at three, but at thirty three in a business setting? Why not at least give her the option of a grown up name like Nicole or Nicola for when she’s an adult. We always intended our boys being known by the abbreviated forms of their names but still put the full version on their birth certificates so they had the choice when they were older.

I think the same when I see friend's kids called Ellie-Mae and Honey.

Anna Tsuchiya (Japanese celebrity) has a son called Simba and her former sister in law has a child called Everest Snow

I went to school with someone who now has a daughter called Kaitlin-Oshun - intended as a misspelling of Ocean, nothing to do with the Yoruba deity (family is white with no connections to the Yoruba people)

My old boss went with a guardian to see some children and the baby was called summers breeze and she was fuming she said “ why didn’t they just call her Febreze and have done with it” all the other children had ‘normal’ names

Were the parents fans of the Isley Brothers?

I used to work in a nursery and some of the names were ridiculous. I remember a girl called Khaleesi 🙄 and one couple chose to let their toddler name the new baby, which is cute in theory, but they actually named their new kid 'Leaf'... like... 🍁😬
