So Paris Hilton wants to name her (as yet unconceived) first daughter London. How many Hiltons are there if she has more than one unfortunate child? And did she not learn anything from the Beckhams let alone her own parents?
So my question is, what is the stupidest name you've heard of someone giving their beloved new baby?
I used to work in hospital pathology labs, and always remember one mother naming her daughter (born early nineties) Kylie Charlene :shock: Or is it just me?

I think she has been watching that kids tv show 'The Suite Life' There is a character in the show whose father is hotel chain magnet and her name is London
My ex wanted to call my son Obediah Zacharia Zebedee :shock: Just so that it could be shortened to Ozzy :doh:
On a similar theme, my husband's cousin joked about calling their son Donald (their surname is Duckett) and my husband wanted to call our firstborn Christopher Robert Andrew. We are Parkinsons :roll:

A friend of mine had to stop another new mum on the maternity ward from calling her daughter Emma. The woman's surname was Royds! :shock: Apparently they'd planned that name all along and nobody had even thought about the two names together :doh:

I know of a girl named Hero
And a baby was named Houndslow a little while back.
What are people thinking?
Me personally I prefer the older names, but not ones that are really common.
There are a few modern day names that I have liked the sound of.
Shakepsearian heroine - well, heroine-ish, of "Much Ado About Nothing" and winsomely played in the film by Kate Beckinsale.
In Greek legend, Hero is the tragic lover of Leander.
She was a priestess of Aphrodite who dwelt in a tower in Sestos, at the edge of the Hellespont. Leander, a young man from Abydos on the other side of the strait, fell in love with her and would swim every night across the Hellespont to be with her. One stormy winter night, Leander lost his way, and was drowned. Hero threw herself from the tower in grief and died as well.
The 16th-century British poet Christopher Marlowe wrote a mythological poem after this story, titled "Hero and Leander".
So I guess that name's been around a fair while. I quite like it.
