Baby Names
It would seem that giving your off spring outlandish names is now thankfully on the decline and consideration to the fact they have to live with their given names is prevailing.Oliver and Amelia were the most popular baby names in England and Wales in 2014 for the second year running.
Did you like your name or would you have preferred another?

Re: Baby Names
I was nearly called Sandra but they must have had an after thought and changed it to Susan which was popular at the time when i was born in the 50's. It was my middle name i was'nt too struck on taken after my Auntie.. The name is Grace but over the years it's come back into fashion so i'm not too bothered now

Re: Baby Names
It's because of my Irish descent that I was given my names, and don't ask me why but only my middle name has ever been used...unless of course we get legal and then its my first name which usually ends up with me looking around to see who has not answered.Gives a whole new meaning to that Irish saying ...Is that yourself now..sure who else would it be?
