New babies

Two people I know have had babies in the last week.

A colleague had a baby boy who they have named Archie. I don't like it. It's very trendy in the UK at the moment to give kids these twee, old-fashioned names. Every bloody child I hear of is called Alfie, Archie, Evie, Millie or something similar. Yuk.

The daughter of some friends of my parents also had a boy the other day. She's named him Jidé. How ugly is that? I believe they're pronouncing it Jih-DAY. Her parents are terribly embarrassed.

WDYT?

Jidé is just a million different kinds of awful.

I think Evie is really cute for a child, but I would hope that it's just a nn for Evelyn.
I don't like Archie and I'm kind of indifferent towards Millie. oh, and Alfie is my cat's name, so I associate that name with a big orange cat now, lol.

Oh yeah, I think Evie is a really cute nickname too. I've just heard it used so much recently, as a nickname and a full name that I'm getting a little sick of it.
