I think that Nigel Lawson must have had a very big ego to lumber his daughter with the hideous name, Nigella! :eek:
Nigella is the name of a flower.
It's all down to fashion. I never would have thought names like Millie, Amelia, Maisie, Molly, Flora would come back, they were so old fashioned in the 60s.
I hate Kelly, Keeley etc. And made-up names with lots of vowels.
Brenda and Esther are the only ones I've ever heard people called in real life.
Though I suppose in America they have a lot of names from other countries that I know naff all about.

If I had a daughter - which I won't cause I am not allowed - banned:mad: I would call her Esther or Nellie or maybe Celeste, after Celeste Holm, you know....Elizabeth Imbrie from Duluth.
I think names like Honey and Pixie are deadful.. Imagine when the child is older and trying to get a job, they wont be taken seriously at all!! (I wouldn't take them seriously anyway.)
It's just cruel. When I have a daughter I'm going to name her something practical like Alexandra, Alice or Emilia
Agreed, - although I like Esther.
So many 'modern' names, spelt in so many odd ways I feel sorry for the teachers who have to remember them, spell them right and call them out day after day.
I did a double take recently when a mother called out to her child 'Beyonce, come here' .....
I personally hate Susan, Sally and Wendy

She must be the wife of the guy who wrote the novel "Russian Rupture" ~ I. Kikabollokov :cool:
Worst girl's names ~ Ada, Enid, Edith, Georgina, Jean, Harriet, Gloria & many other old names used decades ago.

Olga is an alright name but the rest I think are very old fashioned.
