So you thought Romeo Beckham had it bad.

A North-East brother and sister have their mother to thank for names that could prove even more embarrassing when they are at school.

Anna D'arcy has named her children Lily Josephine Eileen Elsie Cheeky-Winkle D'Arcy Heywood and Toby Brent Wilfred Cheeky-Winkle D'Arcy Heywood.

Student Anna decided to name her children after all of their grandparents to avoid upset and Cheeky-Winkle came from a promise to her father when she was a child.

Anna, 27, of Arthurs Hill, Newcastle, decided to put the bizare phrase in her three-year-old daughter's and 15-month-old son's names in memory of a game she played as a child.

She said: "They are named after their grandparents and I included them all to prevent any arguments.

"Cheeky-Winkle comes from a little club my dad set up for me and my sisters.

"We had a little dance and had a secret handshake when we were young and Cheeky-Winkle was the name we gave to the club.

"We promised him we would call our children after the club. Although my sisters have not had any kids yet!"
