Children weened on beige food prefer chips and crisps in later life. Does anyone make a green rusk?

Baby name voyager

Posted at 12:06pm on Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

As I recently discovered choosing names for your kids is one of the most frightening decisions you’ll ever have to make… You don’t want one that’s too popular (who’d want their unique offspring to be one of 5 Marks or Agathas in the class), but you don’t want one that’s too weird or old fashioned (other kids can be so cruel in the playground)… Here then, is the Baby Name Voyager - charting popularity of names (admittedly in the US) over time in a lovely Java applet. For a more UK centric view the ONS is always worth a look (although it’s nowhere near as pretty).

Apparently only 1 in 16 children prefer to play with their dads, because they’re too competitive. My dad didn’t even let me win rainbow towers.
