My daughter has one of the less common 'puritan' or so called 'virtue' names dating from the 17th Century which I guess is pretty 'old fashioned'. But feel a bit reticent about posting it here as it'd probably identify us to anyone who knew us .... love a lot of those names though, even though neither of us are at all religious.

I like Irish names. My son has a pretty common Irish name but it's spelt the Irish way so the spelling is uncommon over here.

It's odd - names certainly come in and out of fashion in waves.

My daughter was in some local god-awful production but looking through the programme it was interesting to note the shear number of Chloes, Millies, Abbeys and Lilys... and a few Kaitlyns too.

Some people have very little imagination.

But you need to be careful with a child's name - they carry it for life. For instance, there is one boy in my daughter's school called Kal-El, believe it or not.

So.

What to do?

Pick something common, or something wacky?

I'm hoping we've managed the best of both with our youngest, it's a traditional name on his birth certificate but we've shortened it in a very unique way so he can stand out or blend in as much as he wants as he gets older.

I chose my daughters name out of the Lord of the Rings, but she can shorten it to something normal (and does!

) When she worked in a call centre she was called by someone with the same name so they commiserated with each other for having Tolkien fans for parents.

her middle name is even weirder though. Muhahahahaaaa.
