    It is illegal in France to name your child Nutella ! crazy but true
    Whatever happened to their 1789 revolutionary motto Liberty, Equality, Fraternity ?

    Hope you didn't. And instead played him this song that a nice Jewish man wrote for him.

    Of course he thought it was a girl's name.....


    Just got me wondering, is the Oxford University's backup rowing crew still called ISIS or have they changed the name to reflect current sensibilities?

    Illegal as well it should be.

    People pricking around with names should be done for child abuse or child cruelty.

    Imagine being called... Nutella O’Malley

    I agree - who'd want to be called O'Malley?

    I was in a job in France with a girl called Tecla. She was Irish.

    It’s a name I never heard before or since.

    Our local doctor was Thecla! Spelled with a h though, rather than Tecla.

    Can see it there ..... there are going to be issues and name changes later on! Honestly we should be issuing breeding licenses.

    My Mum's godfather was called Heber.

    Third hand I know but a mate heard a colleague taking about “our baby bean” (vomit!!!) who apparently is going to called Roni (“cos she’s our corona lockdown bub”)

    My mate earns every penny he gets quite frankly!!!!

    xander, its sounds like a sci fi character .
    this was mentioned in a podcast ,eg my son xander is smart.
    Elon musk sons name is weird, X Æ A-12 , but i suppose when you are rich you can get away with almost anything.
    there are certain names that are only used by north american black parents.
    i think people in america can just use almost any word as a name as long as its not offensive .

    I know a child recently named Alexa. With Alexa being integrated into phones, speakers, cars, headphones, TVs this is going to be a nightmare.

    The mother shouts "Alexa go to bed" and the TV and lights all turn off.

    Naoise. For a boy.

    Naoise for a girl, and she would be about 40 now. Obviously not Jim Fitzpatrick fans. They heard the name and liked it.

    Naoise's always been a boy's name to me, but then it started being a girl's name. Very confusing!
