I knew a family by the name of Koch, pronounced Coke. They named their son Charlie. Don't think they had any idea.....

My 5 year old daughter has a girl in her class called "Mavis Davis". She has a 10 year old brother called Fred. I think both names are fantastic.

When our youngest was born we also looked at the hatches section of the paper and noticed there was hardly a 'normal' name in sight. Even vaguely normal names had been butchered.

Macy's full name is Macy-Lee because we have the same last name as a certain singer so i wanted it to sound a bit different my OH chose Macy he wanted that for kelsey, i loved Darcey but my OH wasnt keen.

Wait till you here someone yell for their son in a broad kiwi accent "Keanu. Hey babe. Keaaaaannnuuu"
Our kids are called Oliver (which we thought was original and then everyone picked it), Elliot, Adam and Kate. Kate was going to be called Sabine after a movie character, but she was a prostitute and I couldn't quite go there, but she got it as a second name. Unfortunately OH registered her and spelled it like Ribena - Sabena.
