I think I’ve posted this before but I know of someone who spelled their sons name Maison instead of Mason to make it more ‘original’, and every time I see it written down all I see is the French word for house.

MJ and Harrison , accompanied by the yoke that spawned them ,sleeved on both arms , white T shirt, tan cargo shorts , baseball cap and beard.

We know an Indian family, the son is called (sounds like) Cushelle, which also happens to be a brand of toilet paper

Paisleigh
Not after Paisley shirts, or the rough Scottish town Paisley, just made up.

The only MIA I know of is far from either of those. I think it's a lovely name myself.

MIA is military parlance for Missing in Action.

There was a kid interviewed on radio 1 the other morning about student climate change protest day. Her name.... Flossy.

Now I dont know if that was a short name for Florence or something else., but FFS parents what we're ye thinkig.

She must be named after the father so.

I had a grand aunt called Molly, the most cantankerous old b****h that ever wore shoe leather, smoked like a trouper, always coughing, blackened teeth and ulcerated legs, we used to call her "Hairy Molly" behind her back, nothing will ever make the name attractive to me.

I heard someone calling their daughter "Madison" on the street recently, what a horrible name, firstly it sounds masculine, second it's a surname, but mostly all I could think of was that sickly sweet drink marketed at women in the 70's, I took one look at the child's mother and my suspicions were confirmed, yes I am a snob.

The Vauxhall Nova didn't sell in Spain.
No Va in Spanish means "Won't Go".
It became the Corsa.

My better half you grew up in the States finds it bizarre that so many middle aged and older Irish women were christened with saints surnames like Magella and Goretti being common but more bizzare ones that I've come across are Mazzarella, Loyola, Alacoque, Laboura ( that's right) and Cabrini, and one for the boys, Bosco, these are all Italian and French surnames.

Alacoque.? Oh dear God, could they not draw the line of life long penance by naming at Assumpta or Gobnait?

Cork, sorry that should be Majella with a j not g.
I was informed by the woman called Laboura, that her mother had great devotion to St Catherine Labouré.

It may have started that way, but by the time I met her, eveyone called her consumpta as is her granddaughter.
