Big Surprise, Adolf NOT a Popular British Baby name

Imagine that! Since the end of World War II, only 20 British children have been named Adolf, the most recent in 2005.

Using records back to 1873, there were 320 Adolfs registered in England and Wales, but the name became less popular after World War I. Then, of course, came World War II.

Five British babies have been named Ringo, after the Beatles' drummer. Eight boys have been named Pele after Brazil's World Cup Soccer win in 1970.


A FISH BY ANY OTHER NAME

Then, there's the Fish family of Lancashire, England, who have named ten babies with the surname Fish. I'd like to introduce Fish Fish. And one Fish baby got the name Fish Fish.
