A couple of years ago I passed two women in the street, very overweight, scraped-back hair, tracksuits, with a gaggle of about ten kids of various sizes between them. As they went into McDonald's one of them bellowed at her daughter, 'SHANIA!'

I was in crystal Palace park, there were two ladies together, the tattooed Fred Perry wearing skin headed one of the pair bellowed (in the very finest sarf london tambre) toward a golden haired angel of a child


"CHARDONNAAAAAAAAY WE'RE GOIN' NAW"


It was exquisite

There was a girl in my brother's class at school called Iona Horsefield.


As a teenager, I used to babysit for an American kid called BJ. (I had no idea)


For me the most cringeworthy ones are those with made up spellings, my friends ex has a child called 'Jorja'. Pronounced like Georgia. Or rather Jorjaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Luke Warmwater. A friend swore blind she'd gone to school with a lad of this name. I thought it was genius on his parent's part.



But I've had a few odd looks when people have heard me call after my younger daughter so I'm not sure I'm one to judge.

    • I'm a bit of an architecture geek and I must confess I find it one of the most gimmicky ugly redesigns I've seen in a while. I'm always open to quirky but this is just not nice in any way shape or form.
    • "A user named Daniel added: "Give your staff time off you ghouls." Surrey business hopscotchshoeboutique chimed in with: "I really think for one day of the year the staff should have a day off."" https://uk.news.yahoo.com/gails-bakery-reveals-controversial-christmas-135155096.html
    • Another recommendation for Niko. Great communication, top guy, and super reliable and skilled - all at a fair price. Takes a lot of care in what he does and talks you through everything. 
    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
