Freddie Joe was born today.

It's not that exciting a name, so I've decided to list contestants from the TV show The Great British Bakeoff:

Jon
Kim-Joy
Rahul
Antony
Karen
Ruby
Luke
Manon
Briony
Imelda
Terry
Dan

Judges: Paul and Prue
Presenters: Noel and Sandi

Freddie’s cute, but I don’t really like Joe with it. I was really happy to see an Imelda on Bake off, I’ve always liked it. I’m also real impressed with Dan’s kids’ names, Barnaby and Constance.

Barnaby and Constance are great.

I too love the names of Dan's children, but people on Twitter were really mocking the names during the first episode, and I was really having to bite my tongue. However when I saw one particularly horrible comment about the name Constance, and I noticed the tweeter had a daughter named Nevaeh, I'm afraid I couldn't bite my tongue any longer!

That’s such a shame, but I can imagine that style of name wouldn’t be well liked in certain circles. I’d much rather Constance than Nevaeh anyday.

Hi !!!!

I like these...

Jon (soft spot)
Terry (m)
Briony /Bryony (f)
Manon
Ruby (I still can't say if I like it or not)
Joy (f) and Joey (m)
Prue (also Prudence)
Noel
Imelda (soft spot)
Freddie

So I'm a nameholic. Too many names!
IRL I would use: Noel (m) and Manon (f).

Freddie Joe is unexciting but remarkable: two nns as full names, one where it's unlikely to be seen - that's weird.

I like Joy (but not Kim-Joy), Karen if it's KAHren, Briony though I prefer Bryony, and Dan, though I hope it's short for Daniel.
