Deja Boo

Alacoque.? Oh dear God, could they not draw the line of life long penance by naming at Assumpta or Gobnait?

Gobnait has a really harsh sound to it.

We had a teacher called Sr Alacoque and she loved telling us why she chose that name . ( she was a Dominican nun )

It may have started that way, but by the time I met her, eveyone called her consumpta as is her granddaughter.

We have a neighbour called Redempta, an older lady, really nice person but what an awful name.

I sent mail from my job today. One to a Lola-belle and one to a Tigerlilly. Both from the same sender.

The only Tigerlilly I know of is Bob Geldof's adopted daughter. I didn't think other parents would be stupid enough to inflict that on their kids :rolleyes:

I taught a boy a few years ago whose second name was Hairy! His parents were Malaysian so presumably it has a different meaning over there

Surely if you sent the mails they would both be from the same sender so why say it.

I know someone who's daughter is called Neveah and she pronounces it "Nih-vay-ih" - but that's in a thick Dublin accent

Awful name but at least it can be shortened to Nev or Neve.

Won't be long before we see a Nivea.
"Nivea comes from the Latin word niveus/nivea/niveum, meaning 'snow-white'."

My second cousin called his kid 'Florian Wigo'.
Granted he is German, but man that is a sh1t name.

There was a Florian in Kraftwerk

No idea what Wigo is (Germans would pronounce it Vigo, maybe kid was conceived on a trip to Spain??)

Any Irish language name nobody can pronounce and spell, where the unlucky recipient will spend a lifetime explaining the spelling to others.

Siobhan is another name, it always reminds me of shove-on your knickers, the teacher is coming. And eamin'....aiming for what?

Baby born near me recently called Heidi Belle.
There is a great onus on her shoulder now to grow up stunningly beautiful, I think.

Balthazar isn’t that unusual....I knew 2 as a child (one in Dublin, one in Galway). Balthazar Getty (of the Getty family - google them if you’re not familiar with them or watch the recent Danny Boyle TV series about them) was quite a famous actor/“heart throb” for a time in the late 80s/early 90s - his face was everywhere for a while.

It's usually 'Heaven' spelled backwards, 'Nevaeh'
