Names are subjective and down to personal preference

Names go through stages of being fashionable or not , as long as names are not of the 'made up' variety beloved by the US, usually feminine and spreading here they are fine by me

That's what I like about the name. I've always been a Mick, never a Mike (which was lucky as my best mate was known as Mike). The only person ever to call me Michael was my mum when I'd been naughty!!!

Re: Worst men's names

I had a great uncle Percy.
He was the black sheep of the family.
I never met him, not sure if anyone did.
My dad let on years ago he thought he'd behaved inappropriately...Do I have a kiddy fiddler skeleton in my cupboard??? Eeeek

This is naughty, if you're sensitive look away now.

Lordruthio used to work with a chap called Colin Hunt.

They called him Holin
