        Because people don’t want their kids to sound like they’re going on an EDL march?

        Because Tracey was the girl you had a fumble with behind the bikesheds and Leigh was the guy your grandad used to play cards with.

        Because they are names from the 60s and 70s , in 2018 it doesn’t sound so cool, that’s my theory , but there’s nothing wrong in those names , just don’t sound like 21st century names to me
