My name's in that list and I'm 32

I won't ask for an opinion from lots of people, after all it's me that will have to shout it for at least 18 years!

Quite a few kids around the next town over seem to answer to the names:

F***ing ger here nah

Come 'ere nah

And my personal favourite - Shuttit nah

I'm a teacher and it's true that you just know what a child is going to be like as soon as you see their name on the class list. Unfortunately I have yet to be proved wrong and have never yet met a Madeleine who is not bleached blonde and orange, or an Amber who is not a full-blown chav

Hope my kids never get taught by someone as judgemental as you....

Both the Madelines I know are dark haired beauties and absolute delights and the name always makes me think of the lovely Ludwig Bemelmans books.

Amber to me is a slightly hippy name because the ones I know have lovely but slightly whacky mums.

TBH I'm fairly disgusted that any teacher would call any child they teach a 'chav', but as someone whose job it is to pick up the pieces of failed secondary education, I'm not surprised

I am keen to put this to the test. Can you describe to us what you think a year 4 girl called Maverick would be like?

It is bound to be, how many sets of parents would make that humungous error of judgement when naming a son!

Hence my insistence that our baby has to get a name that is either the long form of anything abbreviated into a nickname (got to have something to yell in full when they've really really misbehaved), or something traditional and conventional yet not really really popular (damn you Twilight for sticking Isabella right up in the charts cos I liked that name),

My daughter is an Isabella - I had absolutely no idea that it was anything to do with Twilight. My husband's surname is fairly long (3 syllables) so her name needed to be either 2 or 4 syllables to go with it. Isabella was one of only about 3 names we could agree on. I liked it because she can be Izzy, or Bella, or Ella, or Isabella when she grows up. She's now a very cheeky 16 month old and it really suits her. (It helps that saying her whole name sharply sounds like a proper telling off :rotfl:)

I know people that have named their children:

Amber
Eden
Jadene
Kian
Keagan
Logan
Melody
Lexi (Alexis)

What happened to normal names? :rotfl::rotfl:

This thread inspired me to google baby name suggestions,

From American sites; Melina (blood in faeces!), Vienetta (shah don't tell them) and Lettice. Probably pronounced Leteeece.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the importance of the surname when choosing a first name. Some names just don't go together.

I went to school with a Ben Dover. Poor sod never lived that one down
