I'm waiting to see a Bonjela or Sambuca. It's got to happen.
There has already been a Savlon, only her mum changed the spelling to Savelonne to make it 'prettier'. (Read it in Take a Break at the dentist's a while ago).

Parisetamolle, anyone?
Coco-demelle???:D
I love Rommell..sort of...I have a son called Ellis and a daughter called Romy, so it's kind of nice to me! I also have a Marlow (baby son) and we are as far from being chavs as is possible!
LMAO though at mistakenly recieving cards for Ellwood, Romerio and Merlin though!!!:D:D:D
My friend a teacher was telling me years ago she spoke to a mother on phone for registering her son at school- said his name was gooey :eek: She asked where she got the name from as it was so unusual and she said she had read it in a book
Anyway when the registration papers came back, his name was written as Guy!
Are you sure your friend wasn't winding you up?? I seem to remember watching an episode of Auf Wiedersein Pet recently (the one where they rebuild the Transporter Bridge in Arizona) and Moxy told that exact same story about his nephew being called Gooey and his sister read it in book and thought it unusual.....
I quite like Dyson and Broccoleigh.
However, I once taught a girl who's middle name was Everton Football Club. She kept very quiet about it, but it was on her school records.
Every September when we looked through the new intake we would look out for "unusual" names - chances are the kid would be a brat. And they usually were.
Broccoleigh! [Swoon] If ONLY I wasn't past child-bearing age...
I once met a man whose son was called Akaash. I asked him why he had chosen it. "It was just that I liked the meaning," he explained. Oh, and what does it mean? "I can't remember."
My Grandma was a teacher and knew two sisters - Melody and Harmony :rolleyes:
I volunteered at a crèche for a short while last year - there was a "Jaden" and a "Kaden" (not siblings, fortunately!)... I know they're really popular names at the moment (with a few different spellings), and I just don't understand it I also volunteered at a school and there was a girl called Tia-Leoni (I'm fairly sure that was her name) and another called Meeka. They aren't really strange names I suppose, but not the sort of thing I'd choose (well, perhaps for a cat lol).
I quite like Melody and Harmony in a hippy sort of way.

Not chavvy at all but I was once treated by a very good breast surgeon called Tena Walters.
My friend called her daughter Pagan.For some reason quiet a few people were outraged by it.I can not understand why as all it means is country dweller from the Latin word paganus and not one who worships false gods; an idolater; a heathen; one who is neither a Christian, a Mohammedan, nor a Jew as some people like to think.
My wife works in a school and all the kids who have these so called 'New Age' names like Reece, Callum or Paige etc are all naughty kids. Why? Well maybe it's something to do with the liberal attitudes of the parents who think these names are cool. In my experience alot of the parents who name their kids those kind of names are the kind of people who don't discipline their kids and have a very laid back attitude to life and let their kids behave how they like. The whole 'Free Spirit' types that believe children should have totall freedom to behave how they like.
I'm not saying every parent who name their kids weird names are like that but it does make me question their mentality/maturity and how that attitude will in turn reflect on their offspring.
I've heard of Diesel before, infact i met him (he was about 2 at the time) - he was out shopping with his little mate - Denim (their mum's were best mates apparently) ... i was open mouthed in shock..

It's ok for a dog but not a child. I had a rabbit named Oswald... after Oswald Mosley. :cool:

That must surely date from a wife-swapping party in which she never found out the identity of the man whose key she chose?

Oh God LOL.
More entertaining for sure.
I am not a fan of double-barrelled first names (if that is what you call them? I thought double-barrelled means surnames? Anyhoo)
IMO, people should just pick one nice, classic, strong name
Someone didn't listen in history did they?;)
Anyhow, my brother goes to school with a Jesikka - spelled like that!
Why not go the whole hog - and call her CANDIDA!? :eek::D

How about Chlamydia
That's a pretty catchy name.
Hint...not everyone who fought on the Axis side was a Nazi.
