Completely agree. Jayden is truly awful. Cute toddler ok, but imagine being introduced to a 50 year old man called Jayden.

I'm sure they'll have been shortened to Jay by the time they hit 50!

Watching TV the other day and this typical, all-round American kid was on.

His name was D'Artangan

The Rooneys' 3 kids are called Kai, Klay and Kit. KKK. Fucking idiots.

In the late 1980s the town of Killarney had a slogan emblazoned on all the public litter bins in the town which appeared on the bins like this:

Keep
Killarney
Kleen!

And yes, all the "K"s were in bold.

I am not making that up! I was only a teen myself so I was laughing at how obviously inappropriate it was, not to mention the spelling of "clean". No doubt someone thought it was very clever at the time though.

I have a William. He's the only grandchild so far on my side of the family, but my brother's missus is due in a few days and Michael is a strong contender if it's a boy. My dad is dead set against it, because my sister's partner's name is Richard ... she's not pregnant yet, but my dad's afraid of ending up with three grandsons called William, Michael and Richard - Willie, Micky and Dick!

They had a little Micky ... now we're only waiting for my sister to announce the imminent arrival of wee Dick to join Micky and Willy!

Bláthmac.

Disgusting names.

Then again, I'd like to name my children Jupiter, Circe and Egypt. Mercury might be in the mix, but I'm not sure it's appropriate to name a child after a poison.

Although, Hemlock has a ring to it.

I was on holiday a few years back and two kids were acting the maggot, the father looked to his wife, points to his kids and says "Dem cúnts are cúnts".

Don't know why I posted that, the thread title gave me a flash back of that event for some reason?

Tanner!

Every second young lad I coached in America was called Tanner. Horrible, horrible name.

My brother claims that a classmate of his sister's name is Truly Scrumptious. I'm still not 100% sure if I believe him but his friends back him up. The classmate's name is Twiggy apparently. Pure evil to both kids if that's the truth.

Ive heard the same name...Truly Scrumptious....and I heard it from a teacher in the school. Wish I hadnt heard the name when my mouth was full....

Truly Scrumptious is a character in Chitty chitty bang bang

Mentioned a few times in this thread but met a Gertrude, and everyone called her Gerty which made it worse, Gerty sounds like a Donkey name to me.
Lovely girl, awful name

I think I'd much rather call my kid a strong 'traditional' name like Paul, versus something like Jayden, Kai or Kayden, tbh.

Plus with a name like that it's likely to also be a family name, so naming the youngster after his grandad or great-grandad, something like that

It's Rufus. And stay off that bus if you value your health.

I know someone who had a child in the last year and called him Eamon.

May as well get the child a flat cap and a pint of Guinness now. Such an auld lad name.

How long did it take you to Google and then copy and paste those names?

Was it worth it?

Have you nothing better to do?

When I see names like this I wonder if the parents actually know the origins of the name. Add Cooper to the list. So they call a baby after someone that treated animal hides or made barrells? :rolleyes:

Thanks for your contribution, George William.

IF your child has 2 names you are an idiot,
at least in western countrys ,pick 1 name .
kate, jane,thomas,robert ,emma etc
cooper is not a first name, no more than flanagan is.
give a child a name that does not need him , her to spell it for other people .
Not some obscure irish name,

The question being "The worst kids name you've ever heard", so I contributed three such names.

Maybe one of them is yours? Apologies.

Yeah, I like those names.

I also can't see anything wrong with Ruby or Lexie? I've known a few Rubys in my life and some of them are middle-aged or older, and I think Lexie is quite nice and a fairly standard short version of Alexa or Alexandra.

Paul is my favourite boy's name. I'd always prefer classic boy's names and I reckon many people are the same. That's why the likes of Daniel and Simon are so popular.

Oh dear.

Of course I have heard those names, that's why I posted them!

I did however look them up on Google to clarify the spelling.

Can we move on now please . . . .
