The last thing anybody wants is to name their baby according to the trend going at the time, only to regret it much later.

There's also the thought that any name that can be shortened to something rude might not be appropriate in the school playground. 

And if there's going to be any gentle teasing by other children at any time, then it's best not to give undeveloped minds something to snigger about.
