Yes, my friend worked out there for a while and named is daughter as a result

We know a 7yr old girl called Scout on the whole To Kill a Mockingbird theme - really gives the age away of the parents who studied it for o' level. I love it and Atticus too, although thought we were doing girl's names here?


Whatever you choose you will encounter another with the same name along the line. I was in Just Williams last summer with my 9yr old daughter and called over to her. A dad next to me in the queue said oh my daughter is called that and pointed to a toddler in a pram nearby. I smiled and said that we had encountered a few with the same name over the years and we all nodded politely. Until his snooty missus joined the queue and he told her 'this lady has a daughter also called xxx' and the stroopy mare announced 'oh I hate it when someone else uses our name' - should have been more original love and get over yourself ...

:) This is my daughter's nickname...Isaboo (Isabel) and boo for short!

My daughter and her partner could not agree on a girl's name but decided girl or boy it would be called Morgan. So we have Morgan Heather. There was only one other female Morgan in her primary school.


Baby number 2 was threatened with Travis or Lennon, but after he was born Morgan was asked whether he should be called Euan/Ewen or Owen - we now have Owen John and he is one of several Owen's in his school


Some names suit 'young people' only can you imagine a 80 year old being called Chardonnay/Tracey/Paris?


If we had a boy the choice was Marek, Luke or Matthew. ( We had 3 girls)

I really wanted Hero for MiniKatsu if he was a girl, but MrKatsu was not keen i.e. too unusual, she might get bullied etc. Minikatsu turned out to be a boy so that was that. BUT now Mylene Klass has named her baby girl Hero and arrrgghhhhh! Now if I ever have a daughter everyone will think I'm c

copying Myleene Klass!

Oh the names we can't use that haunt us! I love Siena (the town, and it has been special to me and my husband since he lived there in 2000) and wanted to use it as a girl's name ever since! Then Ms Millet came along with her over exposure and spoilt it all! Similarly I was beginning to think a certain lovely girls name that had previously been associated with Eastenders might be up for use again... And then 'Bianca' only went and came back dint (sic!) she??? Still theoretically hanker after both those names...

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
