Have You Been Brave Enough

[weecalf]

Have you been brave enough to call your child or even think about call your child unusual name .I wanted to call the son Elliott but wife said no way ,one silly name in the family is enough .(sorry to all Elliotts out there )

[ummmm]

Elliott is not unusual.

Anyway, no, mine all have safe names. Claire, Jamie and Owen.
