They had Harrison listed as a Bogan name...... I thought that was a traditional English name?!!!!

DS, I guess, has an unique name. I don't understand how people (including my dad) can spell it wrong. It's Jensen not Jenson. I swear when you say it you can hear both "e"'sounds. At the doctors, our surname gets called first. I do understand though, as our surname is a grandma kind of name. I'm sure he's not going to be the only one, but so far have not met another one! It's not unknown though - there's Jensen Ackles (actor - Supernatural), Jenson Button (Brittish F1 race driver), Jensen is make of Brittish car... None of these were the reason we picked it...

Baby number two will have a "traditional" name... If it's a boy, I haven't met another with that name (I'm not giving it away!) yet, but it seems to be on the rise as a new favourite, it's kind of a grandad name. If it's a girl, my friend just had her own little girl and named it the same! So, it could become popular too...

It's too hard to choose!

It was... until the bogans got hold of it! It's like all those sorts of names - Spencer, Cooper, Bailey, Archer, Dakota, Madison, Indiana, Montana etc etc etc - 'traditional' names that just got *abused* by bogans a few years after the names first became popular with middle- and upper-class families... now these sorts of names are considered to be 'bogan'. Give it a few years, all the Amelias and Anguses will be the bogan names because they're currently popular with the 'toffs' - it's only a matter of time before they drift down into the bogan suburbs and get a bad rep!

pmsl Isn't Angus already a bogan name? Or is that only because of Angus Young? ;p

Harrison was a traditional surname, not a first name.

Phew, just checked and none of the kids names or mine or DH is on the list.

No bogans here

Righto - I'm going to do a poll on this - I don't think I can convince myself....

I must be living in a cave... I don't think lots of those names on that website are bogan names When I think bogan I think flanno shirts, moccasin, mullets, thongs and stubby shorts while the shielas sit around the camp fire or bbq in their mini skirts and singlet tops with no bra on, frizzy hair which is oily and thick eyeliner with some cheap perfume. Honestly I can't see any of those blokes being called Spenser?
