I remember somebody with the surname Thyme who had a child late in life and were going to name him Justin.

I feel sorry for lads for have names more often associated with the female of the species, like Hilary Benn for instance, he is the only male I have ever come across with that name.

I've known a Theresa Green, an Ivie Hair (who was a bloke to pick up on LR's post), and a Lydia Binn

Seriously, I'm not making this up some years ago we had an insurance brokers in our high street Pipe and Co, etc can't remember the rest incorporated.

These people only named their son Dwain, I swear this is true.

Edmund Hillary...

Hillary was his surname not his first name.

I also feel sorry for the kids of some crazy celebs who give them really stupid names.

Woooosh...

There was also, of course, Anakin Skywalker whose mother shortened his name to "Annie". That's what really turned him to the dark side.

Hilary, Vivien/Vivian and Evelyn are boys' and girls' names. You don't come across men called Evelyn often if ever (Evelyn Waugh of course), but I've known a male Hilary and Vivien.

I don't let one or two w*****s put me off the name 'Jeremy', know & have know too many good Jeremys.

Darth is an unusual & interesting name, uncommon too Jeremy, is it 'foreign'? :)

I think it's more a title than a name.Anyway, it was very popular a long time ago.

The Beckhams - mere et pere - named their first-born after the place where he was conceived.

I would place money on Brooklyn thanking the Lord that their conceptual shag did not take place in Scunthorpe.

And as for men with women's names, don't forget that John Wayne's real name was Marion Mitchell Morrison.

Ditto Florence Nightingale's parents, allegedly.

Wasn't the ITV morning show doctor for a while Hilary Jones?

Due to my nature something I've very little control over, I managed to alter Darth Vader printed on my son's school lunch box to Daft Ada, disappointingly I didn't get, although yes it was a lunchbox, any feedback from that one, blast it.

Regards, ippy.

There are some restrictions on the names you can call your offspring, but I think the law should be tightened, to prevent the parent registering crazy names, which will cause their kids to be teased and their life made  a misery.

If you're a likeable kid with a strange name it'll be a badge of honour or get turned into a nickname, if you're a dislikeable kid with a strange name, it'll be just one more thing for them to grab onto.  Kids are like wolves or vultures - they prey on the weak, changing the kids name will just mean they pick on them for something else.

A badge of honour, I don't think so if it is really stupid, how about Trump? ;D
