    I was reading an article about Afghanistan and there was some soldier with the surname Bunch, his folks had given him the name Brady.

    like that guy who named his daughter mercedes, just because he owned the company...

    A friend of a friend has a kid in her class called 'God's Power'.

    I've also come across someone who named their kid 'Jaymz'
    These are just ordinary folk, no celebrities here, how do u explain that to the kid when he gets older?? I'm sure he'll revert to the normal spelling, otherwise it'll be the bane of his life!

    I hate artsy fartsy Irish names like:
    Iseult
    Isolde

    I've never heard of a child named either of those in Ireland.
    My OH works in a gym for kids and some of the names she tells me are almost made up. Here's a few

    Nonie

    Nonie is generally diminutive for the name Leonie.

    Whatever about individual names, the ones you can quite easily pull the piss out of are the worst -

    Randy Andy
    Lydia Chlamydia
    Tim - Nice but dim

    Suppose you could make a joke about any name by putting an adjective in front of it, but some are just cruel.

    I was reading the death notices in the paper the other day (as you do) and there was an old lady that died, they had the usual beloved mother to xxx, beloved grandmother to xxx and then they got to her great-grandchildren. It said something along these lines (I **** you not): beloved great-grandmother to Tim, Emma, Lucy, Sarah and D'artagnan.

    Guess which one of those kids gets beaten up in the playground?

    Tim. C*nts name.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    theres a few mad names, but spelling normal names in strange ways is worse

    orlagh instead of orla , timm (with 2 m's) etc... is just the torture posh cúnts enflict on their kids

    actually also naming your kids after a car make/model or something religious like faith, hope etcc is also weird

    Hmm quite.

    He's going to be dead, or the hardest kid in the school. Personally I think its a fekkin great name, but you'd need brass balls to carry it off.

    Ditto for Attracta. Although I doubt there's been anyone named Attracta in the last 60 years.

    Yeah, Alex James (Blur bassist) called one of his children that. His other children are: Artemis, Galileo, Sable and Beatrix. Okay, I can live with Beatrix, but the others are rank.
