you could call yourself any of them if you wanted to. I would have liked to call our daughter Portia but we knew too many people would think it was Porsche. |

I recall when 'old fashipned' names such as Jack and Stanley and Ruby became popular again. I think the fashion for name is cyclic, so at some point the Keiths, Kevins, Deborahs, Tracey and Sharons will be fashionable again.
Steve, is of course, a timeless and elegant name. |

You're all bonkers. These poor children just want to be called Jack, Bob, Clare or Sophie. We can't go naming them after our favourite TV characters or the places they were conceived. It's very important for children to fit in, there's enough worry about the first day at school without the fear of the piss being ripped out of you for having a daft name.

"I know a little boy called maximus blade 
My brother wanted the name Blade for one of his kids thank god he had girls  "
When I woke after having my c-section with my son, hubby told me that the baby was healthy and he had already registered him calling him Blade  |

"Strolling around the first primary school my granddaughter was going to go to, my daughter and I did the blinky fish impression when we heard one mother call her son Dre."
I'm sure he will like it when he gains his doctorate. |

My son has an unusual name, which is Nordic. I love it, it suits him down to the ground and he won't be one of many in his year group. But on the shortlist was:
Thor
Perseus
Conan
If he were a girl:
Aliena
Andromeda
Astrid |

I was talking to my eldest a couple of weeks ago about the names I'd given him and his siblings and told him I went with 'normal' and not the unusual or made up names often associated with black or mixed race children as I wanted my own to be taken seriously. His response? "Which Lord knows is appreciated!!!" |

I have a child I work with who is indeed called Aragon. He gets laughed at all the time it's awful.
Iovd names that are a bit different and my daughter has an unusual name and she lines it cos she's the only one in the whole school but it is nice and not completely weird. |

That has never happened at my nephews' schools. We're in such a multi-ethnic area that kids don't pick on each other for having unusual names.

"I wonder if names like Adolf or Myra will ever become popular? "
I don't know about Adolf but Adolph actually popped up in a baby names book I was looking at recently.
Apparently it means "noble wolf".... |

A friend of mine named one of his kids Bleyd...
And another friend just had a kid and named him Colter.
It's just sentencing your child to a lifetime of having to spell their name to people ALL the time. |

How is 'Bleyd' even pronounced? Poor sod will have a lifetime of spelling that one out. |

I like the name Alchemy. I've nicknamed next doors black cat this name as it suits her rather than her rather boring and obvious name of Sooty. She answers to Alchemy now too . |

My oldest child nicknamed my youngest Titch, it stuck over the years only he's six foot three and towers over all of us, still raises eyebrows when we're out and we all call him Titch and he answers to it. |

I reiterate my earlier comment. Please please please if you are having children soon don't name them after superheroes or characters from fantasy films. They will hate you for it. |

There was a little girl at the park last week called Deborah, first time in years I've heard someone else called my name who wasn't around my own age. |

Dre is short for Andre.
Unless the parents were totally celebrity obsessed and didn't do any research... |

Victorians had a fashion to find unusual names for their children and there are numerous cases of Cucumber, Mustard, Mayonnaise and Cocoa becoming quite common. Things that appeared in that era.
So perhaps we should think the things of the 21st Century and use Twitter, Drone, GeeEm, Apache, Hadoup and Apps ... Just kidding.
Bodicia, Napoleon, Gengis have not been used for a while, unless for animals ...

We were thinking of naming our last son Blade. Other names in the reckoning were Cleaver, Hatchet and Machete. But in the end we settled on Swiss Army Knife. His sisters Spatula and Fish Slice love him. |

"Katana seems to be a new trend in baby name forums...
After the one legged Russian in the sopranos ?"
I'm not sure, I just assumed it was an obsession with Japanese swords.
Since Blade kept coming up. I think Fish Slice could be a new winner though! x |

My son's father wanted us to name him Frederick but as he wasn't in the delivery room and I had to name him immediately he got the names I wanted for him.
I had one pregnancy that was a girl and I had planned on Martha if she lived.

Georgia and Dylan for a girl, and something Andrew, and Sky for a boy.
I've always fancied naming my children names in songs so I can sing their names at them 
I would love to call a son after Marc Bolan but I went to school with a Marc who was a dick so it's put me off. Might have to go with Bolan instead |
