My wife was almost called Emma, her maiden name is Dale.

Fortunately an auntie pointed it out.

Some friends have just named their baby boy Tyrion, after the dwarf character in Game of Thrones (obviously, but someone might not have heard of it).

A friend of mine's birth name is Astra, which she changed as soon as she could.

I knew of a chap called Guy Ramsbottom.......... who funnily enough married an Emma Barrow.

Worked with a Dutch engineer who's name was Ruud Sinema.

My sister used to claim she knew an 'Annette Curtain' but I never believed her. She did once work for a Richard Head though (which I confirmed to be true). Seriously, if your surname is 'Head' who would call their child 'Richard'?

There used to be a shop in my city called "Mike Hunt's Bicylces" but it didn't last very long.

Listen son, just because you own all my films and have seen me naked doesn't mean you 'know' me.

My mate just had a baby and called it Eli :/

Squark · 27 Sep 2012 at 23:00

What's wrong with Eli?
I quite like it

That is a power name.

I have a child on the way and I want to call it Kingdom if it is a boy, but my missus will not allow it.

Call him Godfrey - one seriously badass name right there.

Moon Unit is a pretty cool name... as long as its not your name

In fact, just looked them up and all of Frank Zappa's kids had crazy names!

Moon Unit
Dweezil
Ahmet Emuukha Rodan
Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen

Moon Unit would make the school register far more fun. :cool:

Zappa was a legend.
