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

I've always loved Ruby but my ex husband wouldn't let me have it ... to close to Ruby Wax apparently. We went for Remy instead.

Elle Disco, now that's out there! But the good thing is that with a name like that she'd never be boring, she'd have to end up as a pop star or a dancer or something!

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.
My sister in law has 2 boys called Jasper and woody. I was in a wacky wharehouse in the UK a few years ago and shouted "Jasper" and a group women started pissing themselves laughing

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.
