No, that simply did not happen to one, the poor mother must have gotten herself lost or was swept aboard with the great unwashed. The only reasonable explanation available to one. Quite astounding in this day and age.

First Name = Niki
Secondl Name = Foros

Thus, thoroughly acceptable.

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

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

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

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 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!

Leslie/Lesley etc

My milkman is a Waterford boy and tells me his daughter’s middle name is Deise. He’s told Croatian missus that it’s an old Irish princess!!

Mind you I worked with a couple years ago who had two kids - Lukas and Leia, took the husband years to twig the meaning, not a sci-fi fan!!

Always curious as up how many of those there are out there!!!

I met a lad who called his son Cullen, after the mythical warrior Cuchulainn.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that Cullen was the name of the chieftain who had his hound killed by Setanta
(Setanta then became Cuchulainn - which means The Hound of Cullen).
