    My ds1's middle name is George, i love it.

    My DS2 is Matteo, the looks I get, I've had a few people mis pronounce it. I've even has Natteo, 'Is that like the chocolate/hazelnut spread'
    'No that's Nutella, you idiot'

    My DD gets R h i a n n o n all the time, she is R h i a n n a. A child care worker at DD creche stills calls her the wrong name, even though she has been corrected numerous times.

    LOL at the response to George!

    Mine seem to be polarisers.

    DS - Wow, I love that. or. Oh, that's different.
    DD - Oh, that's so pretty. or. Oh...

    My DD1 is called Harper which my partner and i have had picked out for about 5 years before she arrived this May and then along comes bloody Victoria Beckham......

    I love the name George, my son was called Thomas, we definately always wanted traditional boys names, if we have another boy i think we would use Harry even though we might get the "Really, Harry and Harper" comments...lol

    Most people seem to like Liebling's name, but we don't have too many comments on it. FiL was thrilled about one of his middle names though, and was going to call him by that name. I said OK and he didn't bother!

    Don't know what people will make of my next child's name though.
