I saw the tail-end of an item on TV news, BBC I think, which said that The Telegraph might be up for sale to someone from an Arab state. If it happens, I hope they don't drop the Birth Announcements!

Comments: Wouldn't Maeve Anne Victoria have been better? Clara Georgina Betty is so Telegraph! Daisy Peaches good grief -straight from the DNA Modification Laboratory. Rocky - forget George and Edward, all I hear is Frank N. Furter. Goldie Gray Hero, I can't even guess the gender, but I imagine someone who performed some amazing feat as a dashing young fair-haired person and is still admired and respected in middle age. Barney Bear is child abuse, as if one had given birth to a cartoon character. Sonny Percy Sidney must have tone-deaf parents. Delphi Daphne is almost funny - too much Greek, too many repeated sounds. Posy, as in, likely to pretend to be what one is not?

Cecily Georgiana is lovely. Adore Auberon Percival St John.

Thanks for compiling these! I relish Telegraph BAs.
