You might have seen that Mumsnet has done a survey on baby names with some interesting results - 1 in 5 parents has baby name regret.

Here's the 2015 most popular baby names list, from the Office for National Statistics.

We were wondering if gransnetters were involved in choosing names for your grandchildren? Was a family name chosen? Do you particularly love, hate or despair at your grandchild's given name?

Thrilled when DGD was given my name as her middle name! Then we discovered that her two names were the stage name of a music hall star. She and George Robey were the first to sing 'If you were the only girl in the world'.
Then DiL discovered that her own Great GM was also on the halls at the same time and had the same first name.
