carpetmonster Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 There's an NFL analyst/ex-player called Jonathan Vilma and I'd love him to have a daughter called Wilma because it'd be the Chic Murray joke about the pole vaulter brought into reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) 96 variations of Jax/Jaxx/Jaxxon registered in Scotland this year alone (and it's barely April!). I blame the parents. Good to see Kaiden/Caiden on a sharp downward trend after its ~2010 explosion though. Unlucky for those reaching working age. ETA: shout out to my parents for their ability to pick 'Aberdeen' names (big in the 80s but completely irrelevant for a while now) : Edited April 6 by Hedgecutter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
