When baby hamster arrived...
The next day I popped in to visit mrs hammy and the new junior and a woman who had just given birth was wheeled in to the ward, couldn't help overhearing the nurses ask the baby name, she said something that sounds like it was a mixture of several others, Ashmarieleighla, poor girl was asked to spell it, took about a dozen attempts before saying it was written down somewhere, what hope has that kid got.

Same thing but recently there was some competition in the local rag for lovely babies, some of those names are really funny and must get round to posting them up.

My local rag does that
and has a big headline, 'Last chance to enter your baby!'
Must post a scan of that some time.

Funny, isn't it
How the Kayleighs, Chantelles, Brandons and Rhys's of this world don't seem to make it to university?

Or A-levels.

Or GCSEs.

*ahem*
Rhys is a perfectly normal Welsh name.If you happen to be of Welsh origin, then you can call your son Rhys if you damn well feel like it, without being outed as someone who would call their offspring Nokiacharger or Ebola.

*growls*

I agree
It's when it's spelt 'Reece' it becomes common...

I always liked the name Rhys
It reminds me of a mighty good-looking actor who has that as a middle name.
