Sophie White

Parenting forum BabyCenter have released a list of the most unpopular names of 2016 so far and frankly we were a little surprised at some of the gems that are apparently at the bottom of the barrel.

I’m currently trying to name a bump and am always on the look out for names that are uncommon but not going to condemn The Bump to a lifetime of name-splaining and correcting people’s spelling.

I think there’re actually some really cute names here…
For example, it might be time to bring back Horace, who’s with me?
Okay, I may have to bring back Horace single-handedly… It could just be the hormones but Horace is really speaking to me at the moment.
