When I used to work in schools and colleges in the 90s the names the kids even had back then used to fascinate me and crack me up in equal measure. Some even rhymed! 🤪😆

I'd love to tell you the 2 most memorable but I cant. The fact my addled middle aged brain still remembers them both in perfect detail tells you just how very, very special they were 😂

Reminds us of the story about taking pity on poor little ‘Armani’, as her friends were calling her, until they realised the child was actually called ‘Hermione’ 🤣

If she lived in Manchester and kids were pronouncing it Armani then they'd think it was actually spelt Marni as in 'our Marni' or 'ar Marni', yer know like, R Kid 😜😆

That's what Mum thought🤣🤣🤣if you're thinking of names, you need to try them out in the accent of the area. Also, avoid "novel" spellings of common names as no one wants to spend their life spelling out their name, it's Claire but spelt Klayre because my Mum wanted to be different🙄🙄

Hell yeah! 😂 And people can get really quite cross when you predictably spell it the regular way #Krystal 🙄
