    A friend is aware of a little D'Kodagh running around Finglas somewhere.

    It's apparently fairly common in India for parents to name their children Hitler, because they view Hitler as a strong leader and not as a genocidal monster, and Hitler is associated with the swastika which is a holy symbol in India.

    Darryl-Ann.

    You can’t just tack -Ann onto a blatantly male name to make it feminine. Darryl isn’t even nice on a grown man, let alone a newborn baby girl.

    Make your mind up, a child is either a girl or a boy, Daryl Anne is just confusing.
    99 per cent of the time people use one word to talk to someone eg hey Joe, hello Mary.
    Having 2names of different genders is pointless
    and confusing to people.
    It will make life hard when the child go, s to school unless she just tells friends my name is anne

    Daryl is a unisex name

    Daryl Hannah - Actress
    Daryl Murphy - Footballer

    No trees were harmed in the posting of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

    I really like Irish names, but I heard a guy roaring 'Uinseann', the Irish for Vincent, across a playground over the weekend and I have to admit that it didn't sound nice. There are some beautiful Irish names, but that just sounds harsh and guttural.

    Two conclusions:
    They are very religious and name the child after St Francis Xavier, buddy of Ignatious Loyola the founder of Jesuit order?
    Or they named him after Professor X of Marvel comics.

    They didn't call the next kid Magneto.

    An opportunity missed if you ask me

    I met a Kenyan boy a number of years ago called AK. Not too bad really - we have all our PJs and TJs here after all. But he wasn't named called Andrew Kevin (or the Kenyan equivilant). He was named after AK47!

    Or they're big fans of former Man United player Xavier Hernandes, aka Chicharito.

    On Hill Street Blues, Officer Andrew J. Renko's girlfriend (and later wife) was called Daryl-Ann. Thankfully that's still the only context I've heard it in.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    Saw a screenshot of personalised baby clothes made up for "Leiveah-Mae Faith".

    Nope, haven't a ****ing clue either.

    What would people think of the name Emmanuel? Good or awful? One of my brothers wanted it for the latest child, got vetoed. I don't think its that bad, but very divisive in our house. The French President has ruined it for everyone.

    Sounds like the choking noise a cat might make.
