My great nephew and his wife are expecting baby number 5 next month.
Not sure what to think of the name for number 5. They already have Harrison, Hudson, Hattie, and Hunter. Baby 5 will be Henley.

I've reminded myself of this poem

James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree
Took great of his mother, though he was only three.
James James said to his mother: "Mother, " he said, said he.
"Don't ever go down to the end of the town if you don't go down with me.
Don't ever go down to the end of the town if you don't go down with me."
Now, James James Morrison's mother put on her golden gown.
And James James Morrison's mother, she drove to the end of the town.
James James Morrison's mother said to herself, said she:
"Well, I can get down to the end of the town and be back in time for tea.

What a strange little rhyme MissT.

So not just prominent Tories going for unlikely names - think BJ and JRM offspring.

Ferlew. It's an A A Milne poem from his book ' now we are six'

I’ve heard of many worse names than these, although the alliteration would drive me nuts.

Not uncommon though, growing up our neighbours one side were all Cs (6 kids) and next door but one were all Ms!

I've often wondered if the Donald knew what his surname means.
If that were my name, I would definitely change it.

Henley Regatta seems to flow well.

Henley is not as bad as some these days and would do for either sex (can I say that?). My middle name is my maternal grandmother's maiden name and was also my father's middle name. It caused a lot of trouble in France where they refused to recognise a man's middle name (albeit a family surname) as a female middle name!
Some kids are landed with some weird names these days
