If only. Same spelling as I posted, same as the one in Italy.

I like traditionally boyish names that can be girls names - Alex, Sam, etcetera.

My sister's name is Dinny, although I think her birth cert might say Diane, but nobody has ever called her that. I'm not sure it works the other way round. I probably wouldn't call my son Raquel (no offence to male Raquels)

Evelyn I am used enough to that Evelin would just look weird. Overall, don't like mucking around with the spelling for unyqueness.

On a similar note, apparently Evelyn Waugh and his wife (also Evelyn Waugh) were nicknamed HEvelyn and SHEvelyn by their friends. Maybe a possible route to go!

Now in fairness no kid should be bullied regardless of what name is given to them, its not like they had a choice in it.

I'm not really advocating bullying but kids will pick on anything they can and giving your kid a stupid name just gives some kids an excuse. Huxley sounds like a 2 year old trying to say Huskey

Surely this thread calls into question the wisdom of permitting the lower orders to name their offspring at all?

I propose a naming authority be established, staffed by erudite cultured gentlemen possessed of exquisite taste (such as myself), to provide respectable names for these benighted unfortunates.

That's because you didn't give them the secret handshake.

Picked something up from a lady recently that had a baby girl called Rogue.
She explained something something that the name actually doesn't mean X but Y. She seemed a bit like she's not 100% happy with the choice of name anymore.
Sound lass though.

The first thing I would think of is Rogue from The X Men. I think it is a lovely name but I personally wouldn't name a child it.

I dunno, certain scenarios would no longer have the same gravitas.
For example:

Mother: "Gerrup ta ur fúckin room now, Genevieve!"

Or

Mother: "Gerrup ta ur fúckin room now, Rihanna!"

It wouldn't be the same swapping all the Antos, Decos and Steos for Reginalds, Walters and Hugos. :pac:

When i was selling a car years ago the man brought his two little boys with him - Axel and Diesel.
For their sake i wish i was joking but sadly no.
