... I’m guessing Akylliis is pronounced Achilles. Obviously his Mum only completed part of her classical education. Or once watched Troy. One or the other, definitely.

@booboo That article doesn't usually come out until a little later in the year.
But then I saw - the entire story is based on somebody seeing something on "mumsnet".
FFS Herald - you really are becoming a retweet robot.

This from one year ago ...

@booboo This seemed a little harsh:

"The most popular name that didn't make the grade was Prince, or versions of it, which was rejected on seven occasions."

Perhaps you have to be called "the artist formally known as ....'" then it would be O.K? Rogue isn't bad either.

I actually liked the name X. Just so practical when signing shit, also used to know a guy who was a Xavier, and his surname ended in X as well (Belgian). He was just known as X - worked for him.

I dated women years ago who should have been called Ida-Qween. A personality entitlement thing - would have been perfect.

I think my attitude to Bogan names is softening.

I'm impressed they spelled it proper. Maybe it's pronounced Rogg-way or they thought it was spelled Roag, or they're X-Men fans.

Legion-King and Messiah bear watching. The apocalypse may be closing in!

Royaale? Can't get past John Travolta drawling "Royaale with Cheese"!

Might as well name your kid Unemployable or The Accused

I called ANZ the other day and Magenta was very helpful.

She laughs in the face of those who thought she'd be unemployable with a name like that.

That would be an unusual experience at the ANZ!

She must be a relict of the National Bank.

If her dad could spell Magneto properly you would never have been able to post that.

No Columbia or Riff Raff?

Some good reading here.

Seems we're enlightened on to in lil ol Enzee as poor little Metallica would be banned in Sweden.

Got to feel sorry for . , \ , 4real and H-Q's parents not being able to use their desired names ...
