When embarking on a parenting journey, one of the toughest challenges to face new mums and dads is deciding what to name their little one, especially as that name will be with them for the rest of their lives. For some parents the decision is easy, with names picked out long before their little one was even a twinkle, yet for others it’s a battle to find a name that not only suits their personality but also keeps the rest of the family happy.

When it comes to naming babies, simply finding a name you love isn't always enough. Sometimes, you also have to consider how you want to spell the name, for example, do you choose Reece or Rhys? Ana or Anna? Kirsty or Kirstie? Plenty of traditional baby names have evolved with different spelling options, allowing your youngster's given name to stand out from the crowd.

The US district court for the Central District Of California last week published a judgement that provided a pretty extensive overview of what was a big legal debate in the US music industry for a time: whether online radio services like Pandora and Sirius were obliged to pay royalties when they played pre-1972 recordings.A lot of that debate centred on lawsuits pursued by the artists Flo & Eddie, who were members of the 1960s band The Turtles.In theory, the 2018 Music Modernization Act removed the ambiguities that those lawsuits sought to address.
