XANTHE MEREDITH FELICITY Wilson - a sister for FLORA, HUGH and HECTOR
What I really hate about this is not the names themselves. OK, so one of them reminds me of a cartoon dog, but the rest of them are OK and I've always liked 'Xanthe' as one of the nicer unusual names.
No, the problem here is the sheer arse-clenching pretentiousness of it all. Giving one child a slightly offbeat name is fine. Giving four children offbeat names - one of them, I will say it again, a dog's name - is just a parent's way of screaming 'I'm a bit whacky, I am'. Sadly, we've all met that kind of person and we all know what they are really like.
