We’ve got Saint.
We all know Apple.
There is Elsie Otter and Titan, Bear and Bhondi.
But it’s not just famous parents giving their kids a name to stand out in the crowd.
It seems us regular folk do too. There are kids named Cheese and Anise, Cashew, Chardonnay and Sultana.
And now there is a cute little fella from Wales who is about to get the delightful moniker “Popcorn.”
Isn’t he a cutie?
The little bloke’s name is already Diesel but for three years his Mum and Dad have called him ‘Popcorn’ and they have decided to make it official and change his name by deed poll.
Hazel Williams and Huw Roberts from Wales told Walesonline that Diesel never really felt right.
“He was a bit of a fighter during Hazel’s pregnancy, and the kicks in the womb were like the popping that happens when you put the corn in the saucepan. It’s stuck ever since that day.” Huw said.
The whole family, including big sisters Paige, 14, and Tyler, 16 call him by the popular cinema snack.
“We’ve always called him Popcorn, it started of as a nickname but now he won’t answer to anything else,” said Popcorn’s mum Hazel.
“We love the name, it’s fun and all of our friends call him it and like it too.
“There are a few people in the family who don’t really agree with it.”
After the family went public with their proposed name change there has been fierce debate online about whether it’s a proper name for a fine young citizen of the UK to grow up with.

Good thing that my parents didn't change my name to their Nick name for me. "wrong pill" would have been plain embarrassing
So if he only answered to doo doo head or little basterd,would they let him change his name to something as dumb as that to?He is what ?A very very small child,whos parents are idiots?God people nice parenting that you allow your child to run all over you and refuse to answer to the name you gave him.What if he decides to change his name next week to carrot,or peanut ,or truck?My sons name is Diesel too,and its the name he will have the rest of his life ,despite all the nick names he has ,like monkey.Dont see him wanting to go by Monkey as a man.
