    Carly is a name that just creeps me out, come on seriously who names a child Carly.

    Well, Mr and Mrs Simon obviously thought it was a nice name....

    On a more serious note, naming a child is probably one of the most important thing you will ever do and some people need a slap around the ear for some of the names they have given to their kids.

    Maybe we should do as Sweden does and have an approved list of names which you have to choose from.

    if everyone stuck to the usual classic names that are deemed suitable by the high and mighty you would be calling someone outside and half the street would turn around
    saynig that there is a line that you go over with naming someone that is just crazy...(geri halliwell calling her baby "bluebell"...its after a cow for heavens sake)

    Generally kids called these names are usual offspring of parents who bring their kids to art galleries and don't care if their darlings annoy everyone else.


    The really annoying thing about some Irish names is that they're not spelt correctly.If you were French and had accent grave/aigu on your name,it'd be used properly.
    Here,you nearly need to bribe people to get them to use fadas on names,wouldn't annoy me so much except this is Ireland and therefore shouldn't be an issue.
    As for showing people how to 'do' fada on computer......don't get me started.:mad:

    People who name their children after who was number one in the charts should be shot.

    Your britneys, christinas, shakira, rihannas et al.

    Au contraire.

    Look up Mercedes Benz history.

    You'll find that the company was named after his daughter.

    I was in the local Post office a while back and a woman was calling her young girl over to her. The child was called Ibiza. Think she took the whole naming kids after were they are conceived fad a little too far!

    I see nothing wrong with this one to be fair, just because a name is used in a book or by some artist or someone who's just famous for some stupid reason doesn't mean it's off limits for everyone else.

    I know a lad called Paul - idiot parents named him after some mythical character in a book written by a bunch of paedophiles based on a story made up by some bird who got herself knocked up by the local carpenter !

    Everyone in Ireland should be called Paddy ( North ) and Mick ( south ) - that'll solve it.

    Chris and Gywnth's Apple. Not sure if it's their daughter or son?
    Generally, I love weird names, especially biblical names- I am seriously considering naming my child Noah or Moses :D

    I knew a Davidson who called his son Harley. The kid must now think that his dad's first name should be Twat.

    Watching Pimp my Ride a few weeks back on a rainy day stuck at home, and there was a girl getting her car kitted out. Proper ghetto princess, and her name was Spechelle - 'Special'.

    Denis Desmond of MCD fame has kids named Storm and Jett. I'm going to take a guess and say he was a fan of Gladiators in the 1980s.

    Yeah I hear Shakira is popular in the northwest of this island. I also know of at least one Pocahontas in the Dublin area.
