I'm sorry to disappoint you but my youngest grandson (the one mentioned earlier who isn't Plunkett ) who is four has a best friend called Stanley. Stanley's little brother who is two this month is Freddie.

Haven't "old fashioned" names come a bit back into fashion in recent years, though?

we have a chess player in our club called tim plunkett and i have to let him knowJohn Upham wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 12:53 pmThe name Plunkett has a rich history
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunkett
Apparently
and there is a coat of arms.Variants of the name Plunkett include Plunket, Plucknett and Plunkitt. This name is of French origin, being a corruption of the word 'blanchet', meaning 'white', and was introduced to Ireland at the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion. It has now become exclusively Irish.
What is not to like?
