    I have to agree with some posters here, this is a definite winner of the title of worst kid's name.


    Imagine if she grows up and marries a Jewish guy whose surname is Hymen!!! :)

    I know a girl called Shakira but she is in her very late 20s so after the celeb Shakira was around. Still an odd name for a Donegal woman mind you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    Honestly, I don't think anything is going to beat Labia. It's the winner for me.

    How about doing it double barrel with your first name?:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    I suppose Labia-Mae or Labia-Rose just about tops it..

    Actually, there's a name I really don't like "X-Mae" Obviously with another first name in there somewhere. I'd be kinda impressed if they were actually christened Xmae.

    Know a guy, in his thirties, called Clayton.
    Also know another called Clint.
    Last week I overheard a woman ask another woman: "When is your Rayla's christening?"

    RAYLA?!

    Named after Michael Caine's wife perhaps.

    Laya , newly born.Further siblings to be called BUPA and VHI.

    zooey dechanel,s baby is called elsie otter .
    I, assume famous people are not on drugs all the time.
    I think they want a name no one else would ever use .
    And no one wants to say that name is ridiculous and weird .
    I Think some women just name their children after famous pop stars ,actors .middle class people in ireland are not called kylie or clint .
    Imagine growing up in kerry as a boy called clint .
    There,s not many people calling their kids ,gay .
    as in gay byrne.
    I think every generation drops some name,s .
    And picks new ones .
    I don,t think you should be allowed to name a child after a body part .
    You can put it as the middle name if you like it that much.
    We someone with a bad name gets married it can sound even worse .

    Know a girl from Donegal called Atlantis.

    Also hate the Young moms giving their kids cutsie or double barrel first names.

    I had a child at 20 and gave her a traditional Irish name. Many don't like it, that's grand. They want the newer modern names. But I get excited when the stereotypical young mammies on the dole tell me its old-fashioned. I actually take it as a compliment that they don't like it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    I know a Hilary. What's wrong with that you say?
    He's a man who works in the agri sector and it just does not suit at all!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,585 ✭✭✭jca


    We had a neighbour called Hilary, I never thought it odd until now...he was a nice man, rode a Honda 175 like a lunatic,otherwise he was very conservative.

    Yeah, friend of mine just named her new baby Mason. I often wonder whether people who comment saying "ah thats lovely" are being serious. I've annoyed people in the past by being honest when hearing the horrendous names parents have given their kids.

    Em, who are THOSE Duggars?

    They're a family..may be part of the Quiverfull movement? Anyway, their aim in life seems to be having as many children as possible. Had a TV show called 19 and counting, and then I think a follow-up called 20 And Counting (yes, referring to the number of kids!). Very religious family, but one of the oldest boys got done recently for molesting some of his sisters.

    Strange bunch.

    sounds to me more like inverse snobbery on your behalf, tbh.

    Some people choose their child's name so as not to be "common", which is perhaps the most amusing indictment of their social ungainliness of all.

    Is there anything more "common" than naming your child after a celebrity, a royal, or any other trend or tournament?

    I don't think so.

    I think it's hilarious when railway engineers and civil servants name their children after British monarchs. Absolutely bizarre!

    Awful name. But if he ever gets locked up, it'll be fun watching the campaign to "Free Mason"

    Scrap the cap!

    With his connections, he'll never be sent to jail, no matter what he's done.


    By the way, isn't Luxor a lovely name for a young lad?

    Railway engineers is a pretty specific group and I don't hang around any of them to know how rampant their British monarch nomenclature appropriation is.

    A cousin here named her child after the first king of France, Clovis. I'm not a fan.

    Naming your child after a "trend" or "tournament"?

    " 'Padded-shoulders', come in for your dinner!"

    " 'France '98', tidy your room!"


    And what is the problem with railway engineers and civil servants or them calling their kids such innocuous names as Elizabeth, Mary, George, Edward?

    Yeah, Eddie, Bill, Liz, Harry.....such crass, pompous names.

    :confused:

    There might also be an opposing campaign to have him put to death....

    They should know their place! No Marys, Elizabeths, Annes, Georges, Henrys, Williams...etc..for them!

    How about Jacinta?

    A die-hard football fan has named his new-born baby ‘Bermondsey Millwall Den Bloomfield’ – without telling his wife.

    Dad Mike Bloomfield, a life-long Millwall fan who grew up in Bermondsey but now lives in Croydon, contacted the News to explain his controversial decision, as he made his way home from the registry office to his unsuspecting wife.

    He said: “If David Beckham can name his son Brooklyn, then I can name mine Bermondsey! I just love Millwall and this is a good way to get the next generation involved.

    LINK

    I'm beginning to see some merit in the idea of strict naming laws.

    Now Quentin isn't a particularly awful name. But when your surname is Quentin? Quentin Quentin....

    Neville Neville. Or "Neveah".
