    I think Sloane is common enough in America,e.g. American tennis player Sloane Stephens.

    Or maybe it's yet another one of those surnames which somehow evolved into a firstname.
    "Sloane Beverly" sounds more like something outa 90210(not that I ever watched that tripe!!)

    It sounds like a spa or a leisure centre or a hotel resort or something.

    Yahoo, Terminator, Scrotum, Burger King.

    Plus: Guns.Lots of Guns:
    In 2002, only 194 babies were named Colt, while in 2012 there were 955. Just 185 babies were given the name Remington in 2002, but by 2012 the number had jumped to 666. Perhaps the most surprising of all, however, is a jump in the name Ruger’s (America’s leading firearm manufacturer) from just 23 in 2002 to 118 in 2012. “This name [Ruger] is more evidence of parents’ increasing interest in naming children after firearms,” Wattenberg writes. “Colt, Remington, and Gauge have all soared, and Gunner is much more common than the traditional name Gunnar.”
    "Hi, I'm Remington, this is my brother Ruger, and my sons Gunner and Gauge." :eek:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    So, if a kid has two of these in his first name, i.e. Remington Colt, would that be a double barrelled name??

    Today I encountered a girl called Jlee. Prounounced like "Jay-lee", but spelled Jlee. And a perfectly normal Irish surname too. Ridiculous!

    There's a Senator in the Netherlands called
    Tiny Kox

    I laughed so hard reading that this morning

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    How come anyone called this or Dean is such bad news?

    Calling you child either of these names is a virtual guarantee of having a little Satan under your roof.

    We lived in the U.S for a few years and a lot of what we would call lastnames are used as first names, eg Taylor, Tyler, Carter, Hudson etc

    Personally I don't think Hudson is so bad, but then I knew a couple of kids with that name so to me its not very unusual

    Worked with two women called Deirdre and Margaret, shortened to Dee and Mags.
    They even had it on their office id and email.
    I refused to comply, they were always Deirdre and Margaret to me. I've a big gripe with the use of Mags especially

    True, and I've already heard Robbie Keane saying that it's hard to get the baby to fall asleep, and the only thing that works is to rock Hudson.


    :D
