And last but not least, little Cool. I don't think he even has a middle name, poor little thing. Apparently his parents wanted him to be "the coolest kid on the block!" I noticed his parents have got very normal, "boring" names Jane and Johnny. And no his mum's not a teenager, which might make it more understandable, she's actually 34! Some parents cruelty never fails to amaze me.

Wasn't Cool the name of the child in the movie "Parenthood" - the biracial son of the brother to Steve Martin's character - which sounds confusing. He leaves Cool with the grandparents.
Anyway, awful name.
I see Jamie quite often here in the US as an official name - but for girls. I rarely hear it for boys anymore.

It would be interesting to know what the occupations of Cool's parents are.
Otherwise one can certainly tell this is a list from the UK, with its good representation of names like Freya, Archie, Niamh, and Sophie that are much more common in the UK than they are in the USA right now -- plus the use of the short forms Jamie, Jake and Zach as "official" birth certificate names, which would be much rarer in the USA than it is in England.
