The husband of a friend of my sister's called Kent. Second name Clarke! Cruel parents.

Also Winston, Agnes, Verruca and Hillary are a bit over the hill.

So, semi OT, how long before some boardsie wanders in and takes offence at their name being mentioned...or are most of them likely to just keep it buttoned for fear of more abuse?

Considering the high number of Johns in the world and probably on boards too and it has already been mentioned. I'm sure nobody here would get offended because somebody else thinks there name is crap.

Aeneas...... ( Pronounced "Anus"). Absolutely deadful name.

Ah, such ignorance. It's pronounced Ay-nee-as, and it's a fine, if unusual, name. My next door neighbour was an Aeneas.

I also worked with a Camillus, a Patrick Mary, an Ignatius and a Cornelius. I dunno why people have problems with these names.

Terrence can also be spelt Terence (mine) or Terrance. It's a great name.

I second Assumpta, Concepta and anything madly religious as awful names. What about Rosarii, Faustina, and Ciuinas as more awful ones. Ambrose for a boy sounds like a dessert! I hate the name Damien too-too much like The Omen for comfort.

'Sharon' is a pretty knackery name. 'Sharon!?'........'Sharon!'

'Chicinta' is another one. 'Chicinta!?'.......'Chicinta!'

Imagine giving your child's name - 'Cesil' - what kind of abuse would that be!?

Oh and Christina (prenounced like vagina)!

Yeah, my mother once introduced me to an old woman in the supermarket called Christina (Chris-tye-na). I straight away thought of that same V-word! I was about 18 and I had to go and pretend to be looking for bread or something, otherwise I would have laughed in the poor woman's face.

Although when it's pronounced properly, as in Christina Aguilera, it's a lovely name.

Although funnily enough, it's a name that doesn't work very well in the French language, hehe.

Good thing they weren't around in 1938-39, isn't it? They could have been put on a train for having names like that.

So true! Children with these names seem to be issued with Burberry baseball hats at birth.

I hate when parents give their kids rhyming names:

Donnie,Ronnie,Lonnie,Monnie,Bonnie, Connie
And then there's one kid at the end called John-Boy


Best names are redneck ones:

Billy-Bob, Wayne-Bob, Cletus-Bob, Bubba-Bob, Doc-Bob,Bob-Bob and Cody-Bob.

Indeed. Apart from Siobhan, Niamh, Naoise an Sinead though, most Gaelige names are pretty poor.

Assumpta, Attracta, Concepta, basically any oul one religious name. Almost somehow worse are young ones with an awful religiuos nam, I distinctly remember one girl each who was gorgeous looking going by the names Majella and Bernie :eek: ffs, Bernie?!!? How does a parent in Ireland in the late 80s give their daughter a name that went out in the early 30s?

Best name I ever saw was in work checking a Scottish girls ID. She was born in (iirc) July or August 86, post WC Argentina v England anyway whenever it was.

First name: Maria Middle name: Donna :eek::D:D **** me the Scots are legends

There was a british racing driver called Dick Seaman.....he was melted by expiermental feul after a crash in Spa in a Silverarrow just before WW2 broke out.

Oisin - the most f*cking horrible name in the world. Just the sound of it is horrible.

so so true.

The classical names are fantastic as they actually relate to something and seem quite practical, take for example naming your children "first" "second" "third" For the record Aeneas is one of those rare great names as is Virgil (coincidently), Thaddaeus, Aloysius etc.
Those olde styley names are fantastic unlike those ridiculous americanisms - single syllable names that are devoid of meaning or ones that sound like powerful weapons - hunter, kreuger, lance etc. Also the first names as last names and vice versa are very very irritating.:mad:

Beelzebub

Henrietta
Maude
Philomena
Eric
Anthea.

Apologies for any duplicates.

Apparently the Butt sisters used to live at our house, according to the post... also I can't deal with Stella as a name at all.

I used to work with a Turlough, whenever anyone would say "Turlough, ehm, that's an interesting name," he'd get all tetchy and defend it by responding
"Yeah, it means disappearing lake actually."

Neville is also hateful name.
Brilliantly though Phil & Gary Neville (the premiership footballers,) fathers 1st name is Neville.

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Neville Neville."

Some of the names mentioned here are a bit too ridiculous - e.g. Ichabod. Who the hell is gonna be called that?
Thought it was supposed to be the more "everyday" names that you find awful.

Guys, some of you need to differentiate between an opinion and an insult. If a person dislikes a name and it's your name, well it's their opinion, not a dig at you. Why take it personally?
