Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation. I mean, your kids, whatever you like,
does it pass the pub tape?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Seen some crazy examples recently singer A Marie. She sings
this song I love that very nice. She's had a
son and she's caught him forever Sugar. His middle name
is inspired by her gestational diabetes. Another influencer couple, a
British couple have been left stunned at the and all

(00:30):
their followers have been stunned and confused because they've called
their son Adventure and people going is this a joke?
But in these days of unique branding and wanting to
stand out from the crowd, lots of influencer type so
giving their kids unusual names Elon Musk for example. In Sweden,
though there are very strict rules around what you can
call your child, you have to submit the name. Any

(00:51):
old name you want to call it, Susan, you still
have to submit it and it comes back saying Swedish
you have Las lars ingland Inga.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
And Susan with an all loved.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
But calling your kids whatever you like does it pass
the pub test?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Personally, I cannot stand the new training names like knock Fox,
rip Apple. It's up to the parents to call them
what they feel like. But I feel that there's going
to be a stigma attached, whether it's a young age
or later on in life. What happened to the good
old names like Charlotte, Bob, Jack, Samantha and then give
him a nickname? So to me, it doesn't pass the

(01:26):
pub test.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Absolutely no. If your parents gave you a decent name,
you should give your kids a decent name because in
the long run, they're going to get peace really shocking
when they start school, and I've seen with close so
why start parents like Apple? Cry? What exn that?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Apple?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think it does pass the pub test. I think
a unique name creates a unique person. We called our
son Frank Yett. A lot of people calling Frank, but
I don't see a problem with it.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Frank knt like a little hot dog, a ween cot
great kild Wait.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Not that the list, I imagine.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Let me check the list.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Let me check the list. Lauren
