    Turlough. Plenty of men in their 50s/60s in Ireland with that name.

    More of a D4 name these days.

    They're not so much names as random letters really aren't they ?

    Two conclusions:
    They are very religious and name the child after St Francis Xavier, buddy of Ignatious Loyola the founder of Jesuit order?
    Or they named him after Professor X of Marvel comics.

    They didn't call the next kid Magneto.

    An opportunity missed if you ask me

    I met a Kenyan boy a number of years ago called AK. Not too bad really - we have all our PJs and TJs here after all. But he wasn't named called Andrew Kevin (or the Kenyan equivilant). He was named after AK47!

    Or they're big fans of former Man United player Xavier Hernandes, aka Chicharito.

    Darryl-Ann.

    You can’t just tack -Ann onto a blatantly male name to make it feminine. Darryl isn’t even nice on a grown man, let alone a newborn baby girl.

    On Hill Street Blues, Officer Andrew J. Renko's girlfriend (and later wife) was called Daryl-Ann. Thankfully that's still the only context I've heard it in.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    What would people think of the name Emmanuel? Good or awful? One of my brothers wanted it for the latest child, got vetoed. I don't think its that bad, but very divisive in our house. The French President has ruined it for everyone.

    I would like to think it was from Rorke's Drift in the Zulu film with Caine and Baker but more likely Rorke from Call of Duty: Ghosts.

    Makes me think of Sylvia Kristel and those, tasteful, “skin flicks” from the 70s.

    Nakamba is his surname. Played his part in Villa's great win over Arsenal last night.

    IF you want to test a name, print a CV with that name and ask yourself would you interview someone for that job or would you put that CV in the bin based on that name.

    Yes it is racist/discriminatory/bigoted and what ever but imagine who gave Unicorn Ni Holohan her name also raised her?

    Say Emmanuel to any man over 30, its associated with 70 s porn films.
    And there's plenty of nice girl names to choose from, Louise, Jennifer etc
    I wonder is it legal to name a child aj etc
    A name made of 2 or 3 random letters

    I didn't know that until Emmet's post above. Now, the oddly vehement opposition from the guys at home (mid 30s or older) has become crystal clear.

    There was a kid in my school around 1980 who insisted in taking Lucifer as his Confirmation name. Teachers objected, but fair fücks to the kid, he argued that it was a valid Biblical name of an angel, and not in any way Satanic. The Bishop conferred him Lucifer.
