The head of the catholic church in the philippines used to be Cardinal Sin.

Mike Rowe. A kid from Canada who had a web site. He's a web designer so naturally he called it www.MikeRoweSoft.com

Microsoft, however, is not amused.

It has demanded that he give up his domain name. In November, Rowe received a letter from Microsoft's Canadian lawyers informing him he was committing copyright infringement.

"I didn't think they would get all their high-priced lawyers to come after me," Rowe said.

He wrote back asking to be compensated for giving up his name. Microsoft's lawyers offered him $10 in U.S. funds.

"A prime examploe of a bad choice of name? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's child's name. I wonder how many seconds it will take for other kids to turn: Shiloh Pitt to Piloh Sh*tt?"

One of my friends is a District Nurse. Part of her patch is in the not-so-high-class part of the town, and some of her "clients" have just named their daughter Chlamydia. Because they "liked the sound of the name". I swear you couldn't make this up!

My friend chose Luke as a name for his son, just so he could say "Luke, I am your Father".

One good thing about the current trend to use chavish names is that in 20 years it will be really easy for employers to whittle down a pile of CVs.

As long as teenage mums can spell the kids name on the benefits form, who cares?

The worst name I ever heard (and this is true) - Euryn. Do you think the parents were taking the p*** when they came up with that?

The funniest name I know someone with is Patrick Ennis, The first time I say some of his mail addressed to Mr P Ennis I almost died laughing! Classic!

When I was in banking there was a Chinese lady who had an account - Mrs Yum Yum Yuk (known afectionatly to the staff as "spit don't swallow")

I knew a guy called Neil Armstrong (really).
Every time he said anything, someone somewhere went "beep".
That must get pretty old after a while.

Ivana Trump's daughter : " Ivanka ".
Ivanka Trump : that's how her mother got famous in the first place.....
Think about it .

I knew a boy who went to the same school as me called Wayne - thats not an unusual name of course but his mum and dad were Mr & Mrs Kerr.

Oh dear !

Rafael Scheidt Celtic player who John Barnes signed for £5million after seeing him on video, lived up to his name http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,543912,00.html

Also David Seaman's nickname was 'Harry' at Qpr. Which is cockney rhyming slang Harry Monk, I'll let you work the rest out.

Couple of months ago I did a bit of work for a Nigerian bloke who had only been in Ireland a few weeks and had little english when I met him he introduced himself as follows "Hello I Gaylord Bastids but you, call me Gay."
The above is the actual spelling of his name as on the job sheet i had for the day.

I can't think of a worse name than Gay Bastids.
