An ex-relative of mine called her child “Bear”. Poor little b
d (although not technically).
We know a ‘Lion’.d (although not technically).A child in my daughter’s class is Elvis.
Parents are Russian, so I don’t know if that is as funny/weird/chavvy in Russia or they are fans of his music.
Standard school shoes, not blue suede ones.

Girl who used to work at our place (who had an uncanny resemblance to Meat Loaf, but that's by the by) called her son Jake. Normal enough. But spelt Jaeyke 'to make it unique'.
That reminds me of a girl who was in our daughters primary school class.Her name was pronounced Keeley, anyone fancy a guessing how it was spelt......

A friend of mine went out briefly with a lady whose family all had middle names that were trees. She was 'Teak'. When I found out I laughed for about 3 months. She was also, by far, the prettiest and poshest girl he ever dated.

Some countries regulate the names you can give your binlids, I'm coming round to this approach as I get older.
Indeed, all names given to children in Iceland must be approved by the Icelandic naming committee, and are listed in a book of Icelandic names. The committee was established in 1991 to ensure all names abide by Icelandic grammatical rules and to Icelandic culture.hidetheelephants said:
