As a PJ fan, you have some obligations, one being to name your children appropriately...

Where is "Henry Lee"? I've read that Karen Elson named her son like that

I know, only 20 items allowed... what a shame (did I mention I'm not particularly fond of Nick Cave? )

I didn't know about Karen Elson, but according to Wikipedia it's true! Did she say it was because of PJ? Her first born is named Scarlett Teresa, so she doesn't qualifay as a true PJ fan anyway

Have no idea, I just saw it at her last.fm page

I'm not a fan of Nick Cave either, but I looooove "Henry Lee"! <3

OK, OK, to be fair I'll swap Robert (which is actually for Robert De Niro) with Henry Lee.
Happy?

Haha, definitely X3

Definetly Leah! And Catherine as a second option

I was expecting everyone to choose one male and one female name, but whatever

I think I can increase the number of options, but I wouldn't have thought it necessary. Besides, Polly didn't name Nick Cave, his mother did, and I'm sure, quite quite sure, that she didn't particularly care for the name and would have preferred if he had been named Roger. Or Thornton. Something.

I wanted to name my daughter Leah but was voted down.

Yes, completely without knowing of this thread I was contemplating that I will name my future son Daniel, because it does sound good in Lithuanian too. Danielius it would be. Catherine sadly sound better in english, in lithuanian we get just the hard "T", not "TH", so it is basically Katerina. oh well. Erika is awesome though, but a bit overused here

Don't worry about that, it's not meant to be complete...

Oh good choice... Léa is quite popular in France (I think)
