I'm having a baby in a couple of weeks’ time, but it’s not the thought of sleepless nights and endless nappies stressing me out; rather, what do I call them? 🖋️ FrankieGrad
I’m having a baby in a couple of weeks’ time, but it’s not the thought of sleepless nights and endless nappies stressing me out; rather, what do I call them?. According to a recent survey, they’ve never been so unfashionable. The parenting website, BabyCentre, reports that names common among the Baby Boomer generation are so undesirable, they’re at risk of becoming extinct. Hardly surprising, I suppose. It’s been years since “Donald” only conjured up innocent thoughts of a duck.
My own name has come in handy on more than one occasion when corresponding with tradespeople over email. Assuming I’m Mr Frankie Graddon, rather than Ms, I find I get a far less patronising response. It has also tripped me up; I’ve lost count of the times I’ve checked into a hotel room only to find size 10 slippers and a shaving kit.
