babynamesTwo 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?
