Jamie Oliver’s children’s names

[timeforafamily]

I don't like the idea of everyone calling you one name as a kid, then needing something a bit more adult later on. It makes it hard when you start to work and decide what goes on your ID badge. Identy crisis!! Do you really want your birth name on your badge when no-one has ever called you that from day dot? Work at a hospital and you'll soon realise that patient names on birth certificates that aren't used are a pain in the neck.
Also, joining a professional organisation that needs your birth cert. as proof of who you are, just gives you one more job to do, when you have to request, could you use this name on my badge/ID instead of what's on the birth cert.
I like a name that is cute, suitable as a youngen, but that easily sits right as an adult as well. Petal is going a bit far, it's like calling your child 'love' or 'sweetie', 'pumpkin', 'sugar', 'muffin' hahaha etc. Hey, Sweetie wouldn't be so bad as a second name.... now I'm thinking, that's if we have a girl

I know of a little girl called Honey. At first I thought her mum was calling her Honey in the way that you would call your child sweetheart or darling, then she told me that her name WAS Honey. Hmmmm, not keen on it I'm afraid. Not sure if it translates well to adulthood.
