    Two new baby boys I saw on Insta (regular Irish mammies)

    Jasper-Wren

    Where the hell did this come from
    They're not related at all, so it must be a thing. What kind of thing is beyond me.

    Maybe Winne the Poohs fans? Christopher Wren the boy?

    The Radford family in the UK have 22 kids, their names aren’t bad but they obviously ran out of inspiration half way through cause a lot of the girls names rhyme and sound similar. I’d still rather their names than Bridger & Ledger though :pac:
    Their eldest is 31 and their youngest is just a few months old :eek:

    I stand corrected, Christopher Wren was the great London Architect, I believe he was on the level?

    They actually own a bakery so don't claim any welfare in the UK. They seem to have followed a really standard trend with the names though. How would you name that many kids?!

    Might want to check you assumptions. "The family owns and operates Radford's Pie Company, also known as Faraday's, a bakery in Heysham which they acquired in 1999."

    The business is very popular and they have a lovely deli.

    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

    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.
