Isn't one of David Beckham's children called Romeo ? Can you imagine how he will be teased at school Ana ?

I've been niggled for ages over the silly names but GN has given me the opportunity to moan.

Have you only just noticed, NanKate? Celebs give their children ever more strange names, such as Apple, Ivy Blue, Honey Bear etc. And Satchel - poor girl!

Sky, Rainbow, Willow, River etc. were very popular among hippy families in the 60s and 70s.

Is it me or are children given some weird and unusual names nowadays?

Today I was out shopping and heard a family calling for their boy/girl with the name of Coven. Do they know that is a group of witches? Then someone else said 'Come here Anastasia' clearly a more cultured child bit still a bit of a mouthful.

How do the teachers manage to learn all these names as many are just made up. My friend's granddaughter is called 'Sky' as she was conceived in the open air. hmm
