Nonie, Leonie, both great if your under 2!

Don't know about that. Works well enough for my grandmother who celebrated her 100th birthday in January and my sister who celebrates a birthday somewhere above 50 later this year. :P

There are 2 kids called "Precious" on our street.

Is their father Gollum?

unknowngirl!!

All those names are tame compared to 'Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii' as a first name!

I'll never forget this story http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7522952.stm

Poor girl, more sense than her parents :rolleyes:

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

Your britneys, christinas, shakira, rihannas et al.

Well Christina is a normal enough name. If I heard a child being called Christina, I wouldn't automatically think Aguilera.

Also I know people with a daughter called Rihanna (although they spelt it differently) but she was born before the singer came along. Parents probably regretting the name choice now!

I like unusual names but I wouldnt go so far as Apple or Galileo.

My cousins boyfriends name is Noah and I think its really nice. I also like the name Eli. I wouldnt mind but I'm not even slightly religious but I like biblical names. My nephew is called Joshua and I can tell you my nana had a field day because it was a biblical name.

My sister in law taught a Jesus before. Thought that was hilarious.

My friend was considering calling her child this! I persuaded her not to, pointing out its possible nickname. (Unfortunately she lost the baby.)

Some people just don't think!

Surely gladiator jokes would be more suitable?

Heard of Rihannas and Beyonces round Tralee alright, there is a lady gaga and a ronaldo as well.

Ok crazy names I've experienced

Lancelot
Guinevere (brother and sister)

A friend of mine lives in London and has his kid in a creche with a kid called Huxley

A girl I worked with (bit of a AJH) swore that when she has kids, if they
are boys she would name them Curtis and Jackson (50 pence's real name)...

What really get me is the people that name their kids the same name as there surname Neville Neville is a famous one, I also heard of a Loughlin O'Loughlin, Brian O'Brien why, why would you do this

CrazyRabbit

Some US relatives of mine have a son called Apollo IV (Apollo 14).

Also, the dutch name 'Jeroen' (Pronouced Yer-ruune)...I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.

Oh, and there's a guy in work called 'Alpha' who sadly doesn't have the last name 'Male'.

used to play soccer against a kid called Dwayne Pipe.

and knew a kid called Richard Slicker, when his name was read our at school it was R. Slicker.

poor kids.


When my second daughter was born in Galway, in the next bed was a couple with baby Shakira. Listening to them try and teach the knacker grandmother how to say it was hilarious.

Solus.

Like the lightbulb.

Yes, seriously.

I don't understand why you wouldn't call your child something normal. You're not doing them any favours by naming them after the latest pop culture reference.
You may think that view is outdated, well deal with it :pac:

gravityisalie

i read an article in a uk magazine a few years back , a couple had called their kids seqouia and oak , another couple had a kid called chardonnay princess

Uncle Mclovin

A traveller woman Ms McCarthy from a town near me named her daughter Lady Ga Ga.


Lady Ga Ga McCarthy.


I heard this from a friend of a friend of a friend so it's more than likely not true.

I do think though that a strong name can give a child an innate confidence and self belief.

A friend of my mum's works in a Dublin Maternity ward, this conversation is verbatum.....

Her: Oh she's lovely, have you decided on a name yet?

16yrOldChav: Yeah, I'm calling he 'Yeahvenee'

Her: Yeahvenee, that.. an unusual name, how do you spell that?

16yrOldChav: Y-V-O-N-N-E

Her: Oh! Yvonne!

16yrOldChav: EeeVon? (makes a face) No, I don't like that...

If I'd have been names after the pop star with the number one record in the country at the time, my name would be Lionel. I'm glad my parents weren't mental.

Just watching E News (yes I know, pathetic, but its still better than RTE)
Anyway, Sarah Palin has to get my vote for the most ridiculous names in one household:

SONS: Track, Trig (I sh*t u not)

Daughters : Bristol; Willow & Piper

and following in mummies footsteps grandson Trip

Soooo who in your opinion gets the vote

yes but isnt it cheating to reference what americans call their kids...i mean c'mon theyre as daft as can be.

She musta been watching episodes of benny hill before Bristol was born

I remember a dumb name story a few years old about a couple that thought Jordan was a cool name for their new born son but wanted to make it somehow even more special so they swapped out J for a G and it wasnt till they received a card addressed to gordon that they released what they done.....numpties

I'll probably get stick for this, and don't get me wrong, I generally really love Irish names (my daughter has one), but one girls name I really stuggle with is Caoimhe -I'm sorry, but Quee-va sounds like a word for lady parts.

daveyboy_1ie

Saved myself years ago when noticed a sudden change of facial expressions, could have been a very nasty conversation afterward, as it turned out it was the girl I was talking to mam's name

Me
'Hey, you know what name I really realy em, eh. em.....LOVE. Yeah Ursala, its lovely'

Also,I knew a girl I worked with whose sister had just had twins, a boy and a girl. Had to pull the best poker face ever when I asked what she had named them

'Oh Carrick for the boy and Shannon for the girl'

WTF???

I have no problem with strong names (i.e. Max Power), i have a problem with gimmicky, trendy names which sound ridiculous

Thats because the proper pronounciation is not Quee Va at all , its Caoimhe with a hard gutteral C .

I know of a couple (not Irish) who named their daughter exactly that.
And then moved to mainland Europe.
Good luck to that kid at school....
