I BAPTISE YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FAMOUS, THE SHAMELESS AND THE HOLY GOBLIN
Web site www.findmypast.com has revealed new data that adds weight to the argument that parenthood should be something you apply for having undergone a series of intelligence tests.
Apparently two sets of parents were so taken with Sir Ian McKellen's perfomance in the Lord of the Rings trilogy that they've named their kids "Gandalf". Two other couples have called their little boys "Superman". Britain also boasts a fistful of Dido's, a small arsenal of Arsenal's and over 400 (count em), "Dre's" named after the doctor rapper (is he a trained medic? I think we should be told).
Where has this trend for naming kids like pets come from? Answers please in the comment box below (along with any other tales of crazy kid names).

I notcied the amazing similarity between your picture of gandalf and ben kenobi (in the blog below). it really is uncanny
A guy at work has called his new baby daughter Madison.
His surname is Beard.
Her name will be shortened.
Mad Beard.
He likes Disney, perhaps he knows something we don't about a new animated classic that will star a beautiful pirate princess by the same name.
At work we have a Randy Bender. Oh and somebody by that name as well.
Also I believe in Germany the state can refuse to accept what they deem an "unacceptable name", but I am too lazy to check if it's true.
