Lets just say friends of friends, in case they read this, I doubt it though!!
Anyway me and Mrs Bib know of a couple who have just had a beautiful baby girl, so as all parents do they have chosen a name,
what have they called her....Herbie Tiger and then the surname. So no p!ss taking there then!

Is it me? Or have I missed something here??

    At least when she hits the terrible twos they'll be able to say that Herbie goes bananas on a regular basis...

    My wife used to teach at a primary school in Wandsworth - there were twins in one year called Blake and Crystal. You can't buy class like that.

    Thing is all these names will be so outdated by the time the girl is 18 and she will be calling herself Sue

    Some parents think so and I think that is the problem. They think that by giving their children a "unique" name or even worse spelling they are differentiating their kids from all the rest rather than storing up trouble for them when they try to get a job.

    If people want odd names then that's what middle names are for.

    BTW I don't have a middle name. We were too poor.

    agree. Any name for a boy that sounds right in a 1940's football team. : - )

    I knew a bloke once whose name was Martin but he sensibly changed it to Arthur

    His surname isn't the same sadly and I'll lose my delightful surname next september! Unless dec decides to change his and become mr sausage! Haha

    In which case our first will be called 'battered'

    My mate renamed himself by deed poll to Ben after he was called Arif.

    Ive always called him "Turkish" as i presumed since we were five his name derived from some sort of turkish ancestory but turns out no all his family hail from S London and Norfolk. He was in fact named Arif by his dad who was a big Omar Sharif fan and his brother is called Clarke after Mr Gable.

    Interestingly his sister has a more modest moniker...Tracy.

    I always thought my 1st Grandson's name of Harley was slightly "iffy" until grew into a right little bruiser, and turned up at his Uncles wedding like this :)
