	I’d love a few unusual names in my family or OH’s. It might make it easier to research than my shed load of Johns and Marys. Come on Boris, go for something strange and be kind to future researchers.

	OH's great great grandparents had 20 children ............... they called the last one Vicesima, which according to some references means 21. There is a family story that they had 20, one died so they had another one to bring the number of living children back up to 20 Needless to say, I can't prove that story, but giving the name Vicesima is intriguing!As is the fact that she is the only child to have more than one name, and she has 3!

	One family in my tree had Septima, Octavia and Nonas after their sixth.

	Rees-Moggs sixth child is called Sixtus - not quite as 'classy' as Sextus.. Quite frankly, if that is all he can think of for a name - he should have stopped at five! :-D

	Oh I never thought of that aspect, ;-) I merely thought it would be a good name for Boris's sixth child.

	Could the world and Parliament cope with another one Kense? :-D Edit: imagine the nickname the child would be given then think of an eighty-year-old being hailed by his mates. :-D

	Why not Sextus?

	Robert could be Robo :-D :-D

	Actually, Robert would be an excellent name. Shortened to Bob of course.

	How about Maurice, he could then be known as "Mojo"

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,007 Send Message	Stacey Solomon is a tv personality and has no place in this discussion, especially as she only 3 children and not 4. I have never heard anyone call her a bad mother. Boris now has 6 children by 3 mothers - this does not necessarily make him a bad parent either. Jokey suggestions were being made as suggestions for the name of his latest child - we were not making comments on his parenting skills.
