Those chav style names do my head in - Kylie and Chelsea come to mind. When I hear them they make me cringe.
And, as for kids with difficult names to spell or pronounce. That curse will remain with them for the rest of their lives - "can you spell that for me please"? The effect will soon wear off I can tell you.
I was given the boring name of Stephen - easy enough you would think, but I still get "is that with a 'p' or an 'h' ?"
Is does my head in that much that I now I tell everyone my name is Steve.
Sorted.

We named our kids Joseph and Samuel (now grown up teenagers called "Joe" and "Sam")
When they were babies an old lady said "Oh, what lovely biblical names"
I chuckled to myself because I didn't go to church and the pair of them were little g*ts when they were small.
Come to think of it - they still are !!!

A family I knew called their son Stephen and persistently corrected the lad's friends' who called him Steve. @His name is Stephen', they'd chant. In retaliation they all called him St'
My Father's brother was called Arnold, a name he hated as a boy and man. So I got a middle name in case I hated my first name. I didn't but have a reserve name if i ever needed it. My son and his partner have called my first Grandson Oscar. It took some getting used to but now (He's seven months.) I think it suits him. Unfortunately they've resolutely refused to give Oscar an alternative.
