my friend who has just had her 4th child yesterday a little boy has decided to call him Zahn to me it weird but each to their own i say what do you think has she lost the plot she mentioned this name last week and i said yes if he had dread locks and smoked pot it would be ok but still she picked it

He may become very famous,in which case his very unusual name will be excellent. You never know do you.I know all of my boys dislike the names we christened them with.

Kylie a mum at the school has juts had her third girl, and she's called her Orchid!!!!! It certainly wouldn't be my first choice but each to their own!!

I think its a lovely name. Congats' Deanna

Kylie, My sister named my niece Storm, it took a bit of getting used to. Lindy ;-)

yes one good thing about what she has called him my hubby is comming round to the name i like which for a girl is Kirrilee which to you all is proberly horrible

Hi Kylie People are trying much harder to give their kids different names now. I think it sounds ok. You reminded me of a family I saw on TV last year (think it was on Wife Swap) who had about five children who all had strange names. One of the girls was called Calamity Jane and one of the boys was Bo Jangles. Can't remember the rest but they were all named after film characters I think. So your friend could have picked a worse name! Lynne

Kylie when I had my first daughter and called her Melissa My Nan said "Thats one of those made up names isn't it" and I remember that I said to her well Nan "They were all made up at one time or another I think" and when I hear a name I don't particuarly like I say to myself well it's a good job we don't all like the same names we'd all be John and Betty, my niece called her son Zane and their sir name is Danger so at first I thought that was funny but I'm used to it now so your friends choice will probably grow on you and be grateful she didn't pinch a name you wanted like my friend did to me lol ,love Laraine

well lara thats funny he was zane all the way through and at the last minute she changed it but her hubby is shane and her daughter is shanelle so she would have had a shane zane and shannelle whata mouth full hay my friend her brothers kids all have the intials aj in their first names like adam john alex jack andrea jessica and amelia jane god help the post man when it says aj ravenscroft on their mail

Kylie, in a word...............Yes!!!!!!!!

Zahn! Well at least it's more imaginative than the string of "William son of William son of William" that my ancestors picked (yes, even my middle name is William!). Just think - his descendants will love it as he'll be so easy to track down!

My friend married David Turpin.....he was always known as Dick....They had twins...a girl and a boy....they named the boy....Richard...I said "how could you?" She said.....he'll be called Dick anyway! Fair do's!...lol

Zahn is still better than Apple, Gwyneth Paltrows daughter. I always wanted to change my name when I was little, did any one else? There was always a nicer name. Come on be honest, I aways wanted to be called Sam, short for Samantha.

I met a couple the other day, they have two boys, KHANU and ZYAN. Lorraine in W.A.
