No, internet stranger. You should not name your child Ellie Kelly. Don't do that.

I thought of this thread this week when my husband and I discovered that while we thought we had agreed on a name for our baby if it's a boy, we each thought we'd agreed on a different name.

I like the -adens better than the -sons, but that's just personal preference. I'll take a Jaden over a Jackson or a Greyson - or, worse yet, a Jaxen or a Greyzen - any day.

I know a guy whose name is Lewis Jackson xxxxxx the Fourth. He goes by Jackson for some unfathomable reason, and apparently so did his father. I still can't believe there've been FOUR of them.

Also, not a terrible name, but I met a very sweet lady named Ethel at work today. I love the early 20th century names. (Ethel herself is only 45 or so, so it's definitely not a resurgence of the names sadly.)

Speaking of names and ages, Jeremy Clarkson is the oldest Jeremy I've heard of.

I also can't picture certain names with a baby. Like Paul. Baby Paul? Nah.

Eleanor Kelly is a fairly normal sounding name.

Cotey. Sounds like one of Wayne Gretzky's made up names, but it's a real person.

Is there a weird name thing with Wayne Gretzky? Because if there is I definitely want to know about it.

Well, in my defence, I am Canadian, so the first thing that springs to mind when someone says Wayne Gretzky is...Wayne Gretzky.

I actually searched through his posts to find a good name for a D&D one-off character once.

Don't be such a squid, bro
I had to look after some kids last week and two of them were named Xander, and one was named Branch. It was funny seeing the two Xanders moms meet, I observed what I perceived to be a look of mild disappointment on the one mom's face when she heard her special snowflake wasn't quite so special.

Xander is a pretty normal name my man, it's just a shortened version of Alexander

Welp, I googled "Zoncireth" and that person is most of the first two pages. Is this a reference to something? I'm very curious, it's a hella weird and cool name.

I can only imagine that it might be some kind of anglicized Welsh, if it's pronounced how it's spelled. Anglicized from what, I don't know.

I was not expecting it to be a woman's name. She is apparently a civil engineer by training and a very successful businesswoman.

Reminds me I used to work with a (white, blonde) girl named Xythe. Kinda sounds like the name of a Greek demigoddess or something so I googled it and all I found was her blog.

Also I just remembered I met a guy named Meredith this week, and a woman named Amber Lantz. Been a great week.

The dude who played The Penguin was called Burgess Meredith which is basically a woman's name reversed.
