I don't know ... when my eldest was born, back in '76 I had a chat with the registrar about "uncommon" names ... and, just a few days before my visit, some poor sprog was lumbered with "Iron Horse" .... imagine !!!!
"Iron Horse" WOW thats a belter!! Although i still hold to the theory that it was people in the limelight that started it (David Bowie's son "Zowie" Framk Zappa's Son "Dweezil" Daughter "Moon Unit") all from the 70's i think

Being 18 and called Moon Unit is one thing, when queueing at the chemist at 80 and having that name called out would make one cringe !!
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

I think with a name like Moon Unit that you would be queueing in the chemist for "Prozac"

Frank Zappa was the sixties - brilliant bloke!!

All of the kids went on to change their names to normal ones.

I stand corrected and agree, quite brilliant and such a sad loss at an early age.
