    Little twins called Pinky and Perky - I imagine after the cartoon pigs. OK, they were only 6 at the time and cute and gorgeous - but they would be 26 now and I would imagine they've since changed their names by deed poll!

    I agree but the reasons to choose it are just as silly, ivy was picked because the no 4 (IV) has brought them luck, both their birthdays are on the 4th, got married on it too..
    As for blue, it's got lots of relevance to jay-z, 3 of his albums include the word blue and he's prob a 'cripp' by his obsession with the colour..

    If I was to use there theory, my kid would be Red XIII. :)

    Watching Judge Judy the other day and there was a girl called Lasanya....pronounced exactly like the food. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    Naming a child is harder is a difficult balancing act. Don't want anything to weird, don't want anything to popular, and if you do find a name that's ok, chances are you've known a knobend with that name and you don't want to associate that name with your child. e.g. "Adolf is nice"
    Someone gave me a book called "cool baby names" and had stuff like Thunder, Ace, Rocky and Hercules.

    Would the majority of Irish people not be able to pronounce names like Seán, Aoife, Tomás etc?

    Well, if it's just the ability to pronounce names that's important, english names should be fine too.

    We had a Spanish visitor once called Mercedes. My poor dad could never get her name right. She was called Fiesta for most of her time with us. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭denhaagenite


    Siníofa (pronounced shin- eefa) not quite sure of the spelling but at the time I remember thinking "Hmmmm, a cross between Sinéad and Aoife, sounds like the Irish equivalent of Laronda or Moeesha". I think it is actually an Irish name though...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,716 ✭✭✭LittleBook


    I used to work with a girl called Lasairfhíona (pronounced Lassarina) who insisted everyone called her "Lassie" ... :(

    It would seem that no matter how badly a parent can name their child people can find a way to make it worse for themselves...

    Authorities in southern Wisconsin are facing a tongue twister thanks to the arrest of Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop.

    The unusually named 30-year-old man was in jail Sunday in Madison. Police say he violated his bail conditions from a previous run-in with the law.
    Court records show that his name used to be Jeffrey Drew Wilschke. He legally changed it in October.
    The Capital Times reports that Zopittybop-Bop-Bop was arrested last week after residents complained of excessive drinking and drug use near Reynolds Park in Madison. Authorities say he was arrested in another local park last April after police found a loaded handgun in his backpack.
    He's tentatively charged with carrying a concealed knife, and possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana.
    Jail records don't list his bail amount or an attorney.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,071 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Worst I heard was a lil boy called Uisce!!!:eek::eek:

    Its not even a name!! Plus it's naming them their child after the wrong form of Matter for feck sake. should have called them Carraig- at least it is a solid not a liquid..
    Hopefully it is some sort of nickname- but it was the mother introducing him to another mother so doubt she'd give a nickname.. poor kid

    There's a story in the book Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen j Dubner concerning a family in Brooklyn who had several children, of which the last 2 were called Winner and Loser:eek::eek:
    Ironically, (or maybe not) Winner has a record as long as your arm,while Loser is a sergeant in the NYPD. (See pages 163-165)

    AA Gill in an article a few years ago when discussing crap names did some research and found that in 2007, there were 6 children in the New York Metroplitan Area given the name Unique , while only one was given the name Uneek........

    There were 3 girls in my son's primary school class (a while back and not in Ireland) named after US states although no american connection in any of the families;
    Georgia
    Montana
    Tennessee
    There was also a Paris in his class, cant remember but I think that was a boy.

    My mate's nephew is called Ace. Now if his second name was Power it would be pretty badass.

    But it's not.. it's Fitzsimons.

    Ace ****ing Fitzsimons. Lame.

    Just getting back to the OP...'Isis' is a media production programme, it's on my desktop and I use it every day.

    http://www.avid.com/US/products/family/ISIS-Unity

    Actually the full name is 'Avid Isis 5000', maybe the parents should have gone with that, has a better ring to it.
