Went to my Nieces pre-school party yesterday, and there was 2 kids called Morgan and Chase, after the characters from Paw Patrol 

Hang on a minute there’s no Morgan in Paw Patrol

Why do celebs think they have to be clever by giving their kids stupid names. It’s embarrassing. Also I have noticed a lot of kids with dogs names nowadays like Alfie and Archie.

Since when were Archie and Alfie dogs names? They're short for Alfred and Archibald!

 

I thought dogs names were things like Spot, Rex and Fido - maybe they'll be the next 'in' names the celebs go to.

Maybe i will suggest "Basmati" or "Vitamin" to my brother as we await the arrival of my soon to be nephew this week.   Random names of items in my kitchen at the moment.

 

Bloody bell end celebrities!

Why do we call them baby names? They don't change when you get older...

When were you named? When you were a baby or when you were a grown man? There’s your answer.

I have read somewhere that native Indian change their names as they moves through each phase of their lives.  The names would be based on their characteristics, personalities or feats.  Cool I thought.  

 

I guess in that context most of you would have been derogatory named based on shite posted on here!

If we're going on when it was decided upon it should be called my foetus name.  I am dying on this hill.

My step sister has a 2-year old that she still hasn't fvcking named yet. He can talk, and he hasn't got a name. Ridiculous.

Is the child named yet?

When we had our daughter, wife and I choose 20 names each. 
 

We then took turns striking one of each until we decided what to call her. 
 

Game Of Thrones has a lot to answer for, as the likes of Ayra and Daneres have become quite popular.

Hated my name as my mum was convinced i was going to be a boy and had picked out appropriate names accordingly. When i popped out and was a girl, it was a bit of a shock as she really had no idea and had no names ready.

At the time she was reading a Harold Robbins book (author for the oldies) and the starlet in the book was a high class prostitute, who managed to screw her way to the top... hey hey she thought, she has a nice name, and named me after her. Hence my name Sue-Anne  ... The book btw was the Carpetbaggers. 

 

My son, i didnt want to put through that life long misery, but i did like the nickname of 'JJ' and since Jack was his grandads name and Josh was a 'sensible' name it made sense, to name him Joshua Jack.

I remember reading Heston Blumenthal was named after the services on the M4 - no idea if it's actually true though.

He had a lucky escape, then.

 

Imagine if he'd had to go through life as Watford Gap Blumenthal, Newport Pagnell Blumenthal or Leicester Forest East Blumenthal.

It would have completely destroyed his self-confidence and he'd have spent his life cooking baked beans on toast and never leaving the house.

Given the state of some of the names in this thread, I imagine quite a few will be changed at some point...

Looks like Sean dyche

It depends on what the parents background is imo. I know my son or daughter if i have one will be called either idris or drissia. Just depends though. Always liked older more unique names regardless of the background.
