Arthur. A strong name, unusual yet 'not' unusual and possibly future-proofed.

Next door neighbours have just had their first. He's caled Arthur. My mother's reaction was to describe it (positively) as a strong name. But she's Welsh (King Arthur, etc.).

Our youngest son is called Jago. Not many of them around.

Went to school with a Jago, who was also known as Jake.

having a red haired son I don't have a problem with that, but one advantage – they learn to fight well!!

As a red-haird son, I concur. 😀

I'm not sure it matters anymore. Since minor celebrities started calling their kids after any town they might have conceived in, or just putting two existing names together to form a new nonsense name, it seems anything goes.

But wasn't Suzanne Vega singing from the point of view of a woman in "My name is Luca"?

How about a nice traditional name?

My kids are Agnes and Arthur.

In my time, I've encountered (I almost said come across, but that sounded a bit odd…..) kids with the names Lambrini, Martini, Stella, if it's OK to name the child after whatever alcoholic drink had been consumed prior to conception then Luca is fine by me.

In my son's case, he should be named Vodka Red Bull, but the fashion for alcoholic inspired names hadn't arisen 10 years ago, so very straightforward & conventional Joshua it was.

In that case he would be known as:

My fave tipple (and pic is of models own setup) 😆

So would that be Gay Ginger then Hora?

Ben(jamin)'s nice, so is Tim(othy) or Michael (Mike), Anthony (Tony), Jon(athan, James, Mark. All pretty bomb proof.

My name is Karin, so I have the pronounciation/spelling conversation A LOT. Karen, Carlin, Carine, Corinne, Karly, even Kevin once. It's like car in a garage .. car – in .. Karin oh yes, ok Kurrin.

It actually tastes STUNNING- mix 3 parts rum to 1 part Ginger beer.

It just looks and reads sooo wrong..
