    Did the eastern European people who came for the most part after their country's joined the EU invade.

    Eastern Europeans in general I find to not be great integrators.
    Any time I see a polish woman pushing a baby around the supermarket she's speaking polish to the kid.

    Then there's the polish mass in st audoens church.

    Als.

    Why on earth should a Polish woman not speak her language to her child ? The child will learn English within weeks of being in playschool . They will be bi lingual which is wonderful . It has nothing to do with integration
    My husband is not Irish , he spoke his language to our children and he is fully and completely integrated into society . The children were bi lingual at an early age
    My granddaughter is in a class with quite a few Polish and the children are wonderful , all play together and have birthday parties together .
    I should hope if I lived in another country I too would speak my language to my children .

    Ps my kids have Irish first names and a foreign surname . They love it !

    Unfortunate for the kid, (that her mom was such a tit)

    I always wonder why you see people with names like Neill O'Neill or Brian O'Brien?

    The names themselves are grand but why?!!!

    Because some people should are overly stupid and should not be allowed to breed.

    I knew a chap in England called Donald McDonald, lovely man, bit of a stereotype, fond of Sherry. Funny enough he was Scottish.

    Henry McEnery is another chap I knew once.

    Theresa-Mae-Belle Lily-Angel.

    Heard it at a christening. The priest was blue in the face because he kept getting tongue tied every time he said it.

    I know of an Irish girl called Epi, apparently it's not short for anything - her name is just Epi.:eek:

    Hope her surname isn’t Penn.

    I read on a FB page today of a baby boy called Fendi Blu. And he has a baby cousin called Cavalli. I would bet neither of these children is related to someone who’s ever written a CV before.

    There's a child in Monkstown called Rhapsody.
    Not really, I just made that up but I could definitely see it being true.

    From the article "She said: 'Mom, why is she laughing at my name?'. Probably because your name is dumb as f*ck. Not he child's fault, of course. The article also says the kid is called Abcde and has to include pronounced ab-si-dee in it. Any person she'll ever meet that requires written forms or phone calls she'll have to say ''it's pronounced......''

    The mother told ABC7 news. I hope she pronounces it Abciseven.

    Was on a train one day where a mother kept referring to her son as 'Jimmy Dean'. Sit down Jimmy Dean. Do you want some crisps Jimmy Dean?... and so on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,308 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain


    I read an article referring to a child named Oak but in the context of it, it wasn't clear if it was a boy or a girl.

    Theres an art project on the 7th lock at Kylemore put up by Ballyfermot kids recently and 2 of the kids are Allegra and Ellie-Mae.

    Not the worst names I've heard by a long shot. Though Allegras tend to be the type of girls who have ballet lessons and compete in gymkhanas. I wonder if this girl's parents are fans of Greek tragedy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,202 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Misty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,202 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Tzarina. I know a Tzarina. And she is so NOT a Tzarina. It doesn't suit her at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,480 ✭✭✭✭road_high


    Know it was only fictional but Patience Cropper from corrie was a great name!
    Was patience an actual name in the past?

    I’d say she’s fond of horses alright but without a saddle.

    A woman was whinging on Daily Mail recently because she was fined for taking her twins out of school to go to Glastonbury. Their names were Blade and Trinity. Awful, awful names


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,409 ✭✭✭corner of hells


    A relative of mine is a principal of a primary school and regularly gets some eve watering names of kids looking to be registered.

    One he got recently was "Valdez" with a very typical Irish surname.
    Valdez didn't actually take up the offer of the place in the school and my relative often wonders what the child and his parents would have been like.

    Maybe a Mexican mother and Irish father ?

    Yeah , possibly, looks we'll never know.

    Don't come here with your plausible explanations.
