Does anyone still do this? Would you let the child know? I like the idea but surely most children who are the age to ask about their names would be mortified about any converstaion which referred to their conception. Secondly, I know the Beckhams did it with Brooklyn, but who else was there? Anyone here done it?

one of our freinds has a kid called 'kitchen table' which is taking things a bit far, really.

From my knowledge of a short time living in Wythenshaw (south Manchester) most of the kids should have been called "behind the bus station"

Had a teacher mate from NZ and the Mauris do it alot. The most bizzare example he came across was a kid called Mount Albert Bus Stop. it was rarely used in full apparently.

Brooklyn Beckham wasn't the first. There are more famous examples. Such as...

Mount Albert Bus Stop
This looks more like a description of events which occurred before conception.

Are you suggesting they needed some assistance?

There was once this Indian guy and he didn't like his name so he went to the chief and asked him if he could change it. "No!" the chief said, "You know our custom! After the woman gives birth she looks out of the Tepee and names the child after the first thing she sees." the man sighed and said, "Well, thanks anyway, Chief Running Deer." The chief replied, "You're welcome, Two Dogs F*****g."

That whole Brooklyn thing is just a big fib anyway - the rumour is he was really conceived in Ecclefechan. The point is - you can make it up. Call your kid Everest Base Camp if you like, unless anyone was watching nobody really knows where they were conceived.

Thanks very much to everyone for their helpful information and constructive advice. CM, if your picture is of the actress and not the character, then you have a perverse mind. Well done.
