Call me old fashioned if you like, but I do like a traditional name for boys or girls, mostly because they are easy to say and spell.
I don't get this naming a child with with outlandishly hard to pronounce and even worst to spell names, just to be different.
I like the name David, but, having seen Michelangelo's David, David's have a lot to live up to, if you get my drift.

[Mervyn and Trish]

No idea what you mean.

[oldbluefox]

Shirley? Who's that you're asking?

If my name was David and I had an a*se like Michelangelo's David I would be well pleased.

Stephen told me its the name you use on special nights out with friends

[david63]

You are old fashioned

Well you did ask.

I can’t say I’m enthralled by some of the modern names but I quite some girls’ names such as… Mia, Sky, Ava, Shay, Poppy, etc, I don’t like the return of old boys’ names such as… George, Jacob, David, Jack, Oliver, Henry, Arthur.

It is quite interesting to know the origin of names, Keith being “a man of the woods”

I haven't gone away so I cannot return.

Anyway - David meand "beloved" which I know I am

I’ve just checked out the origin of the name ‘Stephen’ and whilst there are a few variations the one that seems to fit the bill is “he who likes to wear dresses”

[Mervyn and Trish]

That would be the one.

Apparently Mervyn means "Great Lord" or "Famous Friend".
