    One of my teachers in secondary school was called Dympna. That was in the ninetees, so it’s defo not a new name by any stretch of the imagination

    Nobody said anything about it being new!

    I heard a little girl called Maud the other day.

    I'm pretty sure the point is that it's very old fashioned. You associate it with middle-aged or old ladies.

    Names often skip two generations then pop back up again
    When I was a kid the names Maisie , Ruby , Annie , Mollie , Hannah , Ellie , Ollie ,etc were all older people names

    No one in my generation was named so nor the next generation , now I hear those names once again on little kids

    Just heard of 2 little boys called Parker and Kade seriously though what’s up with all the surnames for first names ? And as another poster previously stated names like - - - Mae drive me mad

    A glance though this thread is just the tonic to reinvigourate my boundless loathing and contempt for humanity any time I sense it might be waning.
    Thanks all.:D

    I saw the name Maolísa written on an article today, i'm guessing it some sort of version of Melissa? Either way, that poor girl is going to have to spell that for everyone forever. Her folks are lousy.

    Aahh then I stand corrected! Everyday is a school day I guess! :)

    Edit: Is it pronounced like Melissa? Because if so, my point stands!

    I like Barry, do not like Trevor.

    I've heard girls called Destiny, Shania and Rihanna.

    I dunno if this is really the kid's name or not... he's only five days old. I know the dad is pushing for it and calling him by this name...

    Onix.

    I just hope mum puts her foot down on that, but the kid is gonna have this nickname for life regardless.

    Yes, Pokemon mad dad.

    Pretty normal name, it is the Spanish/Italian version of Matthew. Assuming it is not spelled as above, but as Matteo or Mattaeo.
