Tese were in the olden days but there seem to be no holds barred these days. Until recently I was a supply teacher and once had a class with a Sky, a River and a Forest in it.

Recently I came across someone with two little lads called Sparrow and Hawk.

Also someone telling off a badly behaved kid at a supermarket checkout whose name was apparently Bastuin.

Then there's the naming of children after printer cartidges - Yellow, Cyan, Magenta. Someone told me a story the other night about son=meone who'd been to Ireland and wanted a Gaelic name for their daughter so chose Chiffon (presumably Siobhan?)
