Vogue (yes I know of a child named this)
Kai

Jaiden

Another thing that annoys me is nice tradition names spelt stupid ways like Kate spelt Kait. Has anyone else ever seen Kate spelt like that before?

I've met an Emma Royds. In her case I think it was a married name though, not given by her folks.

I know it's a classic now, but I was still surprised and delighted to hear a woman shouting "oi Chardonnay don't do that" across the park recently.

There's a kid at my sons tennis lessons named Willow with long blond curly hair......not a common name, fine.
Or would be if the kid wasn't a boy confused - WTF?

I thought he was a girl for the first few months.

Some parents appear to want their children to have their lives made miserable and be given a shoeing every day. banghead

If he grows up and joins a power metal band, then yes. If he grows up to work in a call centre, less so.

He could always go and live in Scandinavia. In Norway it's about as common as "Liam" is in the UK.

On the news today the reporter was interviewing a resident of Marawi in the Philippines who was cradling her week old baby. The child's name was "Martial Law".
Also a video game character's name:




My wife and I looked at a local nursery for my 2 year old to go into early next year. I heard 3 boys names called out there, Harry, Thomas and Dennis. I know the first 2 have made a comeback but I've not seen a young Dennis before.
