The GP surgery is usually a good spot to pick up trends.
Today we've got "Coley"...looks about 3ish. Isn't that a fish of some sort? Our little Coley is currently running riot around the waiting room. He did have a brief rest for some Coca Cola and half a bag of Haribo sweets. The almost indestructible kids plaything bolted to the ground isn't looking too safe at the moment.
We have a "Lovelene" starting in the Nursery in September!! 
Our neighbours have just had a little boy, and named kim Kit. Apparently it's a shortening of something, or from another language (I forget now)
I quite like it, TBH, but I can't help thinking of
There's a girl at my daughters primary school...
Her first name is Holly - nothing unusual in that - but her surname is Oakes!
Isn't there someone on here who is, or knows a Jennifer (Jenny) Taylor?
Say the shortened version out loud.
I taught a girl named Ikea this year. Lovely girl, never plucked up the courage to ask why. The other kids didn't bat an eye.
I had a kid at Beaver camp this weekend called Isaac Hayes, he was skinny, white with platinum blonde hair. I get the feeling his parents may have been of rather middle class stock and possibly not aware of the theme from shaft or the album Am I black enough for you.
My mate's halfwit sister has just named her new daughter Oliviar, depsite having the double barreled surname of Berry-Melon due to her parents ill advised double barreling. Cue Olive-Berry-Melon.
My total fave is my mother in laws pupil Jenna Taylor, it's a rough area and I doubt the word genitalia figured in her parents lexicon. (edit that'd be me then Yetti)
An old school friend (drop-out WAG wannabe) just had a baby girl and called her Honeyblossom
Sort of excusably cute for a baby, not so for the obese chain smoking 15 year old which I suspect it will turn into (harsh?). People should think these things through.
Loving Isaac Hayes
I had some Filipino tenants that wrote to me to ask if I'd write to the embassy to confirm that they had a house suitable for their kids...
Hanz Migeille Ivan, Karlos Louiesse Nikolai and Rob Leigh Maverick. Bizzare...
My little lady is called Juniper. I don't think there are many of those about.
My grandfather's first name was Kane McCusker which is two for the price of one! 
Cosmo.
Yes, Cosmo.
slightly different tack but I found out this week Kenton Cool's wife is called Jazz...
Cosmo??? Nooooo...shirley not!!
An American relative of somebody my wife knows has called her daughter Abcde.
It's pronounced "Ab-sid-ee" apparently.
According to my OH, at my daughter's nursery there was a little lad called Blade, and his twin sister Trinity
I offended a friend's sister when she told me they'd called their kid Tyler. I said "That's not a name, it's a f***in occupation! Why didn't you go for policeman, or plumber???"
my little lady is called saoirse
I have a nephew called Mackenzie, after the tracksuit apparantly... oh the shame, thankfully I've never met him due to the social services taking the kids off my brother in law and his chavvy bird.
No I don't have anything to do with them thankfully, even the wife doesn't speak to her brother.
Kit is just short for Christopher generally, I really like it.
CXI our cat is called Cosmo, I love the name but thought it better to inflict it on a cat than a child!
Soma.
As in summer.
I have child clients at work called Theo, Leo and Cleo, she is expecting a fourth, so we have been having bets on what it will be called...
Friend of a friend just called their daughter coco!
cxi - MemberCosmo.
Yes, Cosmo.
I have a mate called Cosmo, he's in his 40's parents were 60's hippies. Its a cool name if you do not read women's crummy magazines.
Coco is ace FACT.
If we had a girl she would be called Summer.
Our son's middlename is Fox, first name Zachary. Live alittle, we all have to die comparatively soon anyway. 
My third(?) cousin is called Saibian. No idea how its spelt.
Friend has a wee lad called Otis, which I like.
Isaac Hayes test rode a bike at Bike Radar from me last year. Nice kid, and his mum took it all in good jest.
We also had a Bruce Dickinson at Bike Radar.
Cousin's girl is called Chelsea as that's his 2nd team after Rangers; says it all really.
Love Coco!
Imagine when a 'Coco' is older- its not slutty in any sense. Its cool, smooth plus its still girly as heck. I once went out with a Libby. She was class.
Otis- I like. Sad thing is those bloody lifts keeping popping up.
Coco and Summer are really cool names.
I'm working with a young German guy called Bastian Farkas, which etymologically means: Build-Wolf.
Jupiter
and a daugter called
Cassiopeia
WFT
Genuis neil, for a split second I THOUGHT OF THEM TWO when I saw the name suggested. Genius. 90's comedy lost forever 
Mister P -Juniper is a lovely name, it also belongs to one of my customers, but sadly gets shortened to June.
Next door neighbours sister has named her new baby Tikay, it reminds me of T.K Maxx,
Neighbour opposite has a 2 year old called Mianna.
We have just come back from a wedding in Scotland where a litlle lad was called - Spike.
A good friend has called her little boy Beck.........I really like it 
Used to be a great local band in Belfast called 'Otis & The Elevators'.
