    Watching Jeremy Kyle and the tag line is: You had me arrested so you could cheat, is your baby mine?

    The child is called Diesel.

    That's probably what the mother was drinking when she was pregnant.

    Naming the kid is only gonna add fuel to the fire.

    Whatever about 'Bently', the 'F***ing' part will cause problems at school.

    I heard of a baby girl named Everleigh today. I don't actually hate it, but I reckon she'll constantly have to be correcting people who mishear it as Beverley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,424 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Was in lidl last night, a father was calling his 2 sons to stop running and go to him.

    Boys were called Zain/Zayne and Forest. Real culchie looking boys, reddish blonde hair, freckles, cute kids but names did not suit them.

    It'll be funny when he wants Forest to start running

    When you hit 12 you should be able to change your name easily if your parents were idiots and gave you a name they should have given to their pet dog.

    Everleigh is a nightclub on Harcourt Street (Dublin).

    I assume the child was conceived moments before this Mum exited a cubicle, and was offered a Werthers Original and a splash of Paco Rabanne by a bathroom attendant named 'Lucky'.

    What a welcome into the world.

    Michaela (If the child is a Dub). Almost sure to be a scummer...
    Oh...and Rhianna for the same reason


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    Not so much the name but the way they spelled it...

    I know a little girl called Lile. It's pronounced Lily.

    I know 2 sisters called India and Electra.

    I was teaching a Korean kid who uses Elin (pronounced Ellen) as his English name. Yeah a boy called Ellen.

    I love some unusual names but not those.

    Alison is a very strange name to give to a woman.

    Not sure if I posted this one before, but I know an English woman living in Ireland who named her son Ailbhe, because she met someone (female) called Ailbhe and she liked the spelling of it. She pronounces her son's name "Ell-Bee". It melts my head, you can't just appropriate a name and completely disregard the correct pronunciation!

    It's Scandinavian and was used for males in Sweden and Denmark up to 1950 or so.

    I think Oenone is lovely. I really like Greek names. Perhaps it's just as well I never had kids. They probably would have been featured on this thread. I would have had to spend the rest of my life apologising to Ariadne, Persephone, and Alciabedes.

    You should indeed apologise as the actual name is Alcibiades :)

    Yeah, I know. I tried telling the auto correct on my phone several times but gave up at the nearest approximation.

    More proof, if needed, that giving your kid an unusual name, especially one shared by a licentious traitor, is not a good idea. Best to keep it simple to save repetitive strain injury to your thumb.

    When my niece had a baby.

    My Father: What did they call the child ?
    My sister: Ryan.
    My Father: Sure he couldn't be Ryan. I knew his grandfather and he was Desmond.

    The newest Kardashian baby is called Psalm. Which wouldn't be too bad, except surely he's going to have to spend his life correcting people who think he's called Sam.

    "No, that's Sam with a silent P and a silent L ..."

    "No, that's Sam with a silent P and a silent L ..."

    The Americans pronounce it more like sawhm
