never understood why parents name their kids boring average names or bad names,

My dad's friend is called Norman and my best friend's dad is called Norman as well. Definitely a name that belongs to a certain generation. Names come and go out of fashion all the time.

[Cherie]

Some old fashioned names have made a comeback

Lily, Emily, Florence, Rose, Alf, Ronald (Ronnie) so you never know it is a generational thing.
