    If his surname is Lewis, he can't lose.

    From some random website....

    In Grimes' first tweet since the baby, her first child, was born, she confirmed her son's name, explaining each individual element and what it means to the couple. "X, the unknown variable," she tweeted. "Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence)."

    "A-12" is an military airplane reference, Grimes (real name Claire Boucher) explained. The Lockheed A-12 is a now retired reconnaissance aircraft built for the CIA in the 1960s. "No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent," Grimes tweeted. The aircraft was known as Archangel during development, according to the BBC—and "Archangel" also happens to be Grimes' favorite song, she added.

    God help the poor child!

    Just this past weekend I discovered my neighbours have a boy named Ace, and a girl, Lake.

    I think Ace is a bit out there as a name and bound to attract bullying when he reaches school age, but Lake is interesting.

    No. Lake ,when she comes to that age, will suffer with lads going on about "going for a dip in (the) Lake" etc.
    Awful name.

    :D
    Good point. Going fishing in Lake, having a skinny dip in Lake, etc.

    Makes me think of Lake Bell, which is an awful name really.

    Niall pronounced Neil

    Pat (is it male or female)

    Ger (is it male or female)

    Sorcha - pronounced "SsOOOOrrrrka" in my best D4 accent

    Polly

    Isn't that the correct way of pronouncing it? Unfortunately Mr Noígíallach is no longer with us, so I can't be certain.

    I worked with a woman named Pat, she was a 50-something who wrote things down in an incoherent scrawl and typed one finger at a time.

    That was actually the “premise” of a film. A really terrible film.

    ‘House Party’, 1 and 2, and ‘Class Act’ were great films.
