    I think it's hilarious when railway engineers and civil servants name their children after British monarchs. Absolutely bizarre!

    Like Athelstan or Aethelred II The Unready?

    Awful name. But if he ever gets locked up, it'll be fun watching the campaign to "Free Mason"

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    I'm waiting for a child to be named after King Knut.

    With his connections, he'll never be sent to jail, no matter what he's done.


    By the way, isn't Luxor a lovely name for a young lad?

    Railway engineers is a pretty specific group and I don't hang around any of them to know how rampant their British monarch nomenclature appropriation is.

    A cousin here named her child after the first king of France, Clovis. I'm not a fan.

    sounds to me more like inverse snobbery on your behalf, tbh.

    Some people choose their child's name so as not to be "common", which is perhaps the most amusing indictment of their social ungainliness of all.

    Is there anything more "common" than naming your child after a celebrity, a royal, or any other trend or tournament?

    I don't think so.

    I think it's hilarious when railway engineers and civil servants name their children after British monarchs. Absolutely bizarre!

    Naming your child after a "trend" or "tournament"?

    " 'Padded-shoulders', come in for your dinner!"

    " 'France '98', tidy your room!"


    And what is the problem with railway engineers and civil servants or them calling their kids such innocuous names as Elizabeth, Mary, George, Edward?

    Yeah, Eddie, Bill, Liz, Harry.....such crass, pompous names.

    :confused:

    There might also be an opposing campaign to have him put to death....

    "Stone Mason"

    They should know their place! No Marys, Elizabeths, Annes, Georges, Henrys, Williams...etc..for them!

    How about Jacinta?

    A die-hard football fan has named his new-born baby ‘Bermondsey Millwall Den Bloomfield’ – without telling his wife.

    Dad Mike Bloomfield, a life-long Millwall fan who grew up in Bermondsey but now lives in Croydon, contacted the News to explain his controversial decision, as he made his way home from the registry office to his unsuspecting wife.

    He said: “If David Beckham can name his son Brooklyn, then I can name mine Bermondsey! I just love Millwall and this is a good way to get the next generation involved.

    I'm beginning to see some merit in the idea of strict naming laws.

    Her dad's 2 favourite pornstars meshed into one I'm presuming. Mammy hasn't a clue though, too busy being ''full-time''.

    Willow, Kayden and Romulus. The first two were definitely born vegans with a strong belief in homeopathy. Romulus will be the type to have four degrees completed by age 16 but ultimately end up founding a theater for performing origami puppet shows.

    I saw on one of these 'right wing' newspapers that you guys hate so much, that a Conservative MP named his son Wilberforce.

    This kid will be a future tory PM, mark my words.

    There used to be a little girl in my sons nursery called Sneachta and there's a new family moved onto our road with obnoxious irish names, Muireann, Caoilfhionn (pronounced kaylinn) and I thought I was hearing things when I heard them call the little boy furball, turns out his name is Fearbaoill, which to me seems to be irish for Mr Boyle?

    Muireann isn't that bad a name.
