    No, that'd be something like Keera
    This is Kirra

    It took a while but I don't mind. How does my body look in this light?

    Like yer man from that ‘Dukes of Hazard’? Although, I think he was “Enos”.

    That can’t have been easy.

    Also, do people say “uncle in law”? I’ve never heard that before.

    The tide is turning…

    In Greco-Roman mythology, Aeneas (/ɪˈniːəs/;[1] Greek: Αἰνείας, Aineías, possibly derived from Greek αἰνή meaning "praised") was a Trojan hero, the son of the prince Anchises and the goddess Aphrodite (Venus).
    (Wikipedia)

    Bean Ryder Richardson MacDougall was born prematurely and died less than an hour after being born.

    They have two other children named.....
    Dixie Dot Ryder Richardson MacDougall
    and

    Ah they do yeah. You'd probably more often hear "aunt/uncle by marriage" Probably only used to avoid confusion.

    "My Uncle-in-law's niece is an absolute ride" at least opens the possibility that you're not sexually attracted to your sister.

    I’m only “thanking” the first part of that post, ATNM.

    I heard an absolute clanger yesterday but if I say it the person whose child it is might read it. Then they will know its me and that I'm slagging off their child's name. I am 100 per cent sure nobody else has that name.

    Which got me thinking, what are the rules around naming children? Can some names be prohibited in law? Ideally most of the names in this thread.

    I think Australia and New Zealand have banned a few. Someone should've stepped in and stopped that muppet in the states from calling her child Abcde :rolleyes:

    There should be an official body set up tasked with approving or rejecting novel or unusual names.
    There would be a website on which expecting parents could check whether a name (or non-standard spelling of a name) has been pre-approved or not.
    If not, they'd have two options: select another name, or submit their desired name (or spelling) for consideration along with their argument as to why it should be approved.
    If the name is rejected, that's it. And anyone in future checking it would find that it had already been rejected.
    If accepted, it would be added to the list of pre-approved names.

    This is the one that annoys me the most. People give their child a regular name but want to add a unique twist by changing the spelling. Jackson has become Jaxon or Jaxxon. I've seen Lisa as Liisa. Amy is Amiee. Rebecca is Rebekah.

    Maybe the "unique" generation won't see it as a problem because they will grow up with many variations of their spelling and just see it as normal to ask how the name is spelled but I see it as unnecessary. Back in my day :P there were some names with variations such as Claire/Clare, Sarah/Sara but it wasn't as deliberate as it is now.

    As far as I know "Rebekah" is the biblical Hebrew name for Rebecca.

    Well, the Hebrew name is רִבְקָה :)
    Both 'Rebecca' and 'Rebekah' are long-established English language versions of it.

    I heard some idiot on an american podcast say i named my son cool,
    after a child in the movie parenthood .
    I,m sure there,s no way they other kid,s in school will not be rude to someone who has such a weird name.

    She already became an international laughing stock when her mother went viral complaining about the airline employees laughing at the name. The poor kid. How did the mother not see she was setting her daughter up for a life of ridicule?
