[Gullflyinghigh]

or Terence

innit funny how people get defensive about something that was no choice of theirs and means nothing.

My wife and I went to great lengths to be careful about the names of our two daughters, and our elder daughter has now been very careful about the name of her daughter.

Maybe Nibble means Philistine.

 

[rool]

Not seeing too many Xaviers, Peregrines, Nathaniels or Jolyons these days?

Names like that are rife in the club I work at even among the younger members, along with Rupert, Randolph, Esmond, Valentine etc etc

 

[maltaseagull]

Without even looking at the link I know what it is.

Congratulations! You are the 15421st person to come up with that! Always hated that Band

Odd from someone who chose to take dainty or tentative bites as their user name? I think ones name is actually quite personal and was very offended by your comments. I must need counselling now

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

True, Andrew isn't very popular. Huey is becoming very common now. I know one Franklin, he goes by Frank.

Really? 11 years ago Huey was pretty rare! My youngest prefers Frankie...its only ever Franklin when he's in trouble!

 

[rouseytastic]

Axel

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm glad Matthew isn't used much now. Awful, watery, weak name. Like Gordon or Adrian

My grandson aged 11 is Matthew. You mentioned Andrew not being popular and yet we have two in the team (in one form or another)

 

[piersa]

Simeon.

I have TWO of the defunct names mentioned above. Belinda was very popular for boys in the early 1970s, I'm told.

My Brother's name

 

[fat old seagull]

Jesus or the baby Jesu as he's sometimes known. Never met one yet.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Billy Bob

 

[Sussex]

No one under 35 called Martin Anymore

 

[Frutos]

Especially Matthew. I just imagine them being quite weak limbed and needing help to the bathroom with translucent skin. Probably got a touch of asthma.

Do you include Matthew Upson in that?

 

[Gwylan]

Jesus or the baby Jesu as he's sometimes known. Never met one yet.

I've worked with a guy called Jesus

 

[Old Hadlothian]

Brenda !

My girls are at no 5 and no 86. My granddaughter is at no 4. I am not sure if that is something to be proud of, or not - or quite possibly I should just ignore it.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

No one under 35 called Martin Anymore

WRONG! Lad down our cricket club is 21 - he's a Martin, as am I [but a few years on from 35 granted]

Only ever met one Astrid - nice girl ....
Wartime movie had some young woman, can't remember if it was Bunty or Bunny.
My Grandads were Reginald and Alfred and Grandmothers were Frances and Anne
Sisters middle name is Rosemary
Had an aunt Mary too.
