At least it'll make identification of the peasant classes a little easier...

My youngest has a Norfolk in his class. Norfolk is a girl with an elder brother called Thor.

The parents are from Essex.

Thor! thats quality, almost makes me want to have kids.

They probably would have gone for Conan but it was too many letters....

My personal favourite worst name from all my friends and family is Mercedes. I can imagine the stick that poor kid's going to get at school and beyond. Hopefully the parents will follow the lead of others around them and use the name Sadie instead.

Of course, Mercedes-the-cars are named after Mércédès Jellinek, daughter of the engineer who wrote the specs for the first car to bear that name. So she can tell them to get stuffed

Unless it's a boy

You shouldn't mess with the original spellings of Padraig and Ysobel.

Hmm. The article header was misleading.

I thought it meant that babies were being given text speak name identifiers, eg...1-800-Jade or Dial-4-Gary

Which I thought was a brilliant idea !

Why ?

Because then, if you are introduced to someone, eg Mr Jack Jones, you don't have to exchange contact details, because everyone in a country has a common contact identifier in which you can communicate with them.

So instead of me having a seperate email, phone number, etc etc etc, i have one unique point of contact for all communication, so I can be tracked down easily wherever I am.

Ah well...back to Eleezabet Porshe names it is then...

Good. Makes it easier to round horrible thick common sorts up when we run out of dog food or soap.
