Another example that only makes sense if you understand the language is the girl in these photos: Professor PZ Myers and his daughter Skatje. (PZ will be familiar to anyone who frequents the Atheism & Agnosticism forum - he's an evolutionary biologist and one of the most famous "new atheists".) "Skatje" is Dutch, the best translation is "little treasure". Now she's 19, and has tattoos ...

The tennis players name Mardy Fish is a little unfortunate really !

Keith. Terrible name.

What's wrong with Keith. An honest ta goodness name! A very biased opinion I must admit.

Fine name, as in nothing unfortunate about the way it sounds, except childhood memories of, 'Keith the Teeth'

It's not a poxy made up name to sound posh?

Welsh name stemming from the word for a tree and the wisdom it holds.

I think what has lessened the desirability of the name Keith has been the tendency, in some parts of Dublin, to render the t silent.

Another one is Kirk. It might also once have been a good, old fashioned, honest-to-goodness name, but now you just think 'seven kids and a boy racer'.

PACKYAK

John, Michael, Mary. Honestly, I don't see why people have to give their kids such absurd names. They should just stick to something normal like Sailosi or Topsy or Seji.

What's wrong with Topsy?

PACKYAK

I'm saying that names like Topsy are completely normal, and people who gives kids names like John or Mary are crazy.

My ex wanted to call our daughter Nirvana. It was before the band was there but can you imagine if I had had a brain seizure and actually agreed to it ???

I hate the name Bernadette , hate it . it was my original name but thank god was changed .

How lucky I am! Elvis Presley started work on GI Blues on my birthday. Lonnie Donegan was #1 in the charts. Jeez, I dodged two bullets there.

Instead, I was named after a hunger striker.

Phil Neville, Gary Neville and their brother Neville Neville

Don't care what parents call their children...it's their choice;

But whatever name the child is given, please let that be the name they are called, the name on every cert and official document, school registration and bank account.

And please do not allow anyone to 'translate' it into Gaeilge.

Nothing worse than trying to find/identify someone who uses several versions of their name.

Their Dad is called Neville Neville

I've heard 20-stone builders being called schatje and nobody batting an eyelid.

I don't understand why people thing 'Moses' is a weird name. It's been around quite a while...
