OLAS Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We've got Charlie-Adam, David-James and Scott-Alan for the boys. Special mention to Spartacus! His parents must have a good sense of humour. http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files//statistics/popular-forenames/2014/babiesnames-2014-t5.pdf No more mentions, as some people get a bit touchy on this subject.

Larky Masher Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You've spelled "booted" wrongly. I was trying to take a more cuddly feely approach but booted would be a acceptable alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Blackheart Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 In an amusing quirk of language, Hoor apparently means virgin of paradise, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Blackheart Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Don't think the thread was banned. Just some people thought it was wrong to make fun of people who have what some might consider funny names. If memory serves, I think the posters who complained were Wullie fisterbottom and wilma fingerdo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My son born last year is on that list as one of the 'number of babies named 1.' Not Spartacus though but still equally unique by the looks of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
