Ah lads. Those Rheas are going to need heavy emotional and psychological support during primary and secondary school.
Why would anyone voluntarily subject their kid to that?
Christ, a lot of parents need a swift kick in the groin.
Surprised there’s no Ukrainian names in the top list.
Caleb, god bless us and save us
“Mum, why did you and Dad name my sister Rose”
“Because your Dad gave me roses on our first date”
“Wow Mum, that’s so romantic”
“Thanks, Gonna-Rhea”

The Irish have the most beautiful names. Why jack and Sophie is beyond me.
