I have to feel sad for the mother for not realising - there is not Ikea in Norfolk so I guess she has NO idea!

I remember seeing a baby girl with the unfortunate name of Jezebel. She must be school-age by now. Poor child!

We were on holiday with a 1yo called Red this year - it rather suited him actually and it's not a new name is it? I have heard before.

Ikea is stupid I agree but not as bad as for eg Chardonnay or Moet ffs

I bet they pronounce it MOAY as well

Heard about a baby whose name was pronouced A - shole - e. But it was spelt, well there was an extra "s" in it, you know what I mean. Poor child, it was it the states I think.

Wasn't there a famous 'Red' to do with oil or firefighting or planes or something - Red Adaire I think?

I like Alexis, but since my surname isn't Carrington Colby Dexter I guess I won't use it for my own!

Auntymandy - hope it was Marguerita and not Pepperoni!!

I work with a guy called red, full name is redvers, it's a family name. My son is called Caleb and I don't see it as being that unusual? Hate the crappy spellings more though, Brit-knee anyone??

DH was very against Red - said it sounded too Fraggle like
