Neighbours have just had a bairn, called him Arbie. Also know a lass who called her kid Arlo.
Arlo's growing in popularity currently. Parents are either fans of Woodie Guthrie's son Arlo, sports commentator Arlo White or The Good Dinosaur.

I don't want to post names, but let's say the kid is called Taylor Smith.
The ma is called Jane Taylor and the da John Smith.
i.e. the kids christian name is the same as the mother's surname. Weird.
Never heard Arbie before, plenty of Albie's running around though.
I thought Arbie's was a restaurant in America
It is. Well, Arby's is. Sandwich place, rival to Subway.
My nephews best friend is called Arlo and his sisters called Ada.
My boyfriends daughters called Teegan (her mama a full on charver)

The general chav trend is giving your bairn a Christian name that's a surname.
Connor
Taylor
Mackenzie
Wilson
Dylan
And surnames come from Christian names (sometimes).Dylan is far more common as a Christian name than a surname TBH.

No one bats an eye if you call your child William or Bryan, but they are both surnames, but call your kid Taylor or Mackenzie and you are a full on chav. (Supposedly). I don't think it is surname as Christian name that is chavvy just some names are considered a bit chavvy.
To be fair, I can only think of one person who's surname is Bryan
Fair comment.Here's trouble at mill over here cos some thicko wants to name their kid 'Messiah' and a judge has blocked it.
On the one hand you should theoretically be free to call your kid whatever you like, on the other the court has the right to protect a kid from idiotic parents and the undoubted playground abuse the kid will get.
Fair comment.
The Americans do come up with some daft names for kids. If the court protects the kid from ridicule by blocking a name, that's perfectly understandable.
I went to school with a lass called Pinky Lee. Up until sixth form, you can guess the piss takes.
How did the piss takes differ in sixth form?
Raymond
Graeme
Gareth
Brian
Wayne
Christopher
Jesus wept. Did he not get any say in then naming of the child?
