I've never liked the name Oisin for a child or adult. My rescue pug... owner was very evasive and said he didn't have a name. Poor dog was registered as Oisin.

My cat is called Amelia after the lady I got her from, Emelia.
My other cat is called Corey and that has nothing to do with me. I got him when he was 7 years old.

I have called animals after people before, like Pat the budgie, Martin the cat, and Mark, another budgie.

A boy in my son's class called Huw.

Ditto! And why not?

I've had dogs named Hamish, Vinnie, Zoe, Johnny, William, Max and Dorothy, had horses called Robert, Onslow, and Josephine, and a fish named George (RIP)!

In each case, the animals who got the human names tended to have characters which were most compatible with humans. Sometimes, human names can be super appropriate to animals, depending on their personalities and (usually) an affinity with people.

Jordyn. Destined to have many convictions for petty theft and a clutch of kids by 19.

But doesn't the "y" turn it from skanger name to classy name? No? I didn't think so either...

I know a load of Mike/ Micks but I would never think of looking at a tiny baby and calling it Mike. I know children called Michael but the Mike thing just made me go "huh?". It is his actual full name, not a nickname.

My Lizard's name is Richard.

I like traditionally boyish names that can be girls names - Alex, Sam, etcetera. Even Jordan I can live with, although I think there's a lot of social cache regarding certain names and the subsequent disapproval of society about them. Goes both ways too - Mary and Evelyn were both boys names.

Don't like names with unneccessary 'y's in them. Martyn is definitely up there. As is Jordyn. Evelyn I am used enough to that Evelin would just look weird. Overall, don't like mucking around with the spelling for unyqueness.

He became a Figaro known as Figgy. He even answers to it sometimes.

Two little girls I know are Imogen and Saskia, again names that don't seem to suit babies.

Conceived to 'unbreak my heart' blaring in the background. Methinks yes,and fair play! It's a great song but if they liked toni braxton so much,why not name the boy Tony

I'm dealing with a Rychard in work at the moment (through email and phone). I haven't met him but assume he is a fully grown adult.

Ok... But you know he's not going to be a tiny baby forever, right? If anything I think parents who choose names that are cute for babies but not appropriate for anyone over 12 are the ones who need their heads examined.

...never understand that sort of stuff. Name him officially as Michael ..and call him mike/mick/micko/mikey whatever yourself ..that way he's got the option of calling himself whatever version he wants as a teenager..
