Gone are the good old days when our babies were called after grandparents and names were passed down the family line.

Today they are more likely to be called after famous footballers or pop and soap stars.

I wonder how many boys called Beckham and Elvis are running round Runcorn?

Lately the fad has been leaning towards naming our babies after where they were conceived. This may be why lots of children are called London or Paris.

If we all named our children after where they were conceived imagine what names we would shout getting them in for their tea, "Magaluf, Ibiza your teas ready"

The best example of this was a family we met on holiday a few years ago who's first baby was called Paris, the second one was called Chelsea and the third one was called Chester.

You could tell how the family fortunes may have changed over the years.

I wonder what the next baby will be called if they have another one?

More recently people seem to have been naming new babies after their favourite drink or car they would most like to drive.

This may be why girls are being called Tequila or Mercedes .

So the next time you hear someone shout Lamborghini or Jaguar don't worry it could be just someone calling their child in.

By the way I was called after a children's song There changing the guard at Buckingham palace, Christopher Robin when down with Alice for years I thought Alice was a disease!
