was out with my mate today having lunch and she is expecting her 4th child a boy and she is going to call him zayne which to me is very way out her hubby is called shane and her daughter is shannelle so she will have Zayne Shane and Shanelle ,i said oh ok then she tells me about a woman at school who had her 8th baby yesterday and she says her son who is 2 is called Ken and the 3yr old daughter is called Barbie so iw as wondering who knows some likethat Ken and Barbie ,and a friend of my mums her stepdaughter was in jail when she had her daughter and called her Justice

I have just called my son 'You Flaming Nuisance' - does that count? Mandy :))))

its all a matter of perspective, after all outside of Australia KYLIE isn't exactly a common name is it ? I do agree with you though, some people do choose very odd names. What annoys me the most is when someone takes a normal name and spells it slightly differently - the poor child will spend their lives having to tell people how to spell their name

very good Mandy

like me paul i called my son louis but you spell it lewis i spelt it differently the amount of people who say Louis' is unbelievable

Your friend sounds like someone my husband knew, Colin. His children were Colleen, Collette and Colin. Nothing wrong with the names but all too similar in one family, I think.

I chose Paul and James for my two sons. James got stuck with a nick name which is Ticker. The reason is because when he was born he had a dicky heart. Everybody still calls him that even now and he's nearly 32. Jo.

One of my cousins has three children called Nathan, Natasha and Natalie - fondly known by their grandparents as the Three Nats! Mandy :)

OMG I MUST be old - I realy dislike the very modern names, imagine Zayne when he's 50 or so. I know a 40yr old Wayne but he uses his nickname of Wal' . We have a family close by with a Susan, Sarah and Samantha, very confusing when the postman comes, they don't have a middle name.

my mum calls me poppet, and steedie, my dad calls me fag ash lil, my aunts ex used to call me Little Miss naughty! xx

I find it funny when people call their children kids. I always thought that kids were baby goats.

In our family there is Kelly (20) stepdaughter Kyle (9) Son Was going to call 5 year old daughter Konni (after Konni in blue peter) But decided to call her Connie otherwise it would have been KKK !!!!!! Elaine x

Sorry this is not about kids names,but Shane Wayne Zanelle etc jogged my memory. I worked with a girl called Myrtle Burtle and she had one preganancy after another so we called her Furtle Murtle Burtle I taught Tania Hyde.Her parents thought that very funny

theres a girl in my daughters school called Ellie McNelly---that made me laugh, Karen

My husbands cousin in Aus has called his son Jordan his surname is River I think Paula yates really started the trend of odd names back in the 80's with the likes of fifi Trixie Belle. Much happiness Debi

We named our daughter Megan but somehow, I don't know how, I started calling her Penguin. The trouble is she's now three, and until about 6 months ago she thought that was her name!!! It's taken a concerted effort not to call her it anymore.

Use to live in a village with a brother & sister called Sonny & Cher! Guess there parents had been hippy's!! My daughter use to go to nursery with a little boy called Edge (U2 fan, dad?), and also use to know a Ronald McDonald! He wasn't yummy!

I know what you mean Graig,my Dad called me Ginger for obvious reasons whenI Was very tiny and I went to chool convinced that my name was Rosemary Ann Ginger CREWE until the kids at school persuaded that it wasn't so.

Debi, it was earlier than that. Your forgetting Zowie Bowie, (Think he now answers to the name of John.) Moon Unit and Dweeble Zappa .

my daughter gets called KP cos thats her initials!! she also gets called peanut for the same reason
