This is completely true - visiting Kings' maternity ward, got chatting to the mother of lovely newborn twins, named Giorgio and Armani. Years later at the playground at Brockwell Park, heard those names being called out to each other on the swings and saw them as 5/6 year olds! Fabulous.

Sheridan was a girl I used to know so I am surprised to see it as a male name. I like the way Scots, Irish and Welsh names are popular in their respective countries. I think the rise in the No of Jacks, Harrys, Mabels, Rubys, Henrys, Ethels, etc, could be a similar occurrence in England.

I can believe the story, but I went to school (year below) with one of his sons (no idea if he has more than one), and his name was Bill.

I've known a couple of Beverley (males) both would now be between 60 and 90 suggesting that it was a bloke's name. What a great term bloke is, and geezer too. They'd make great names.


Mate was dog sitting for 'Scrotum' and 'Retch' walking around the park shouting their names. John Seldom Gummer called his dogs Saddam and soemthing like Tariq (it wasn't Tariq but another henchman)


What about Renton?

      maybe u should speak to some of the kids parents who are constantly mugged who can’t get a police officer to investigate and tell them to stick to gb news, such a childish righteousness comment for your self  All jokes aside there is young kids constantly getting mugged in our area, there is masked bike riders going around armed with knife’s, all I’m saying is police resources could be better used, police wont use there resources to respond to car theft but will happily knock on someone’s door for hurtful comments on the internet which should have us all thinking 🤔

      I recommend you stick to GB News following that last comment.  Hate crime is still a crime.  We all think that we know best.
