    My surname is a British-sounding name, but I was given two completely different "translations" of it going through school. Ridiculous!

    Kobe is here with his Ma in McDonald's. He's a little McBollocks surprisingly enough.

    Judge Judy never fails to provide:

    Girls:
    T'Quandah
    Empress-Aretha
    Promise

    Boys:
    D'Tanyan (going for D'Artagnan possibly but too think ??)
    Jeeohvarny
    Prince and King - twin brothers!

    That’s what the travellers called Trapattoni.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Not an unpleasant name as such - sure doesn't one of my nieces have Jayne as her middle name?

    But Harry Kane and his fiancee have just called their second daughter Vivienne Jane, to go with Ivy Jane.

    Lovely names - espcially Vivienne but it jars on me, Jane Kane at the end, twice!

    Just heard a 'Fletcher' being scolded by an adult in Kildare Village.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,106 ✭✭✭PlaneSpeeking


    At Dublin Airport on Friday night there were the following:

    Carton (might be spelled differently!)
    Dwayne
    Delphy (thought it was Daphne but no, heard it twice)
    Ella-Belle (but could be a nickname, I may stand corrected!!)

    Oh and not bad really but:

    Kevin. When you hear it shouted on a plane, it's hysterical!

    Oh and on Code Black the other day there was a baby called Peregrine. But it was said as her mother died and it turns out the baby was named after the grandmother.

    In Tenerife at the minute and there’s an English family in the hotel with a Halley (pronounced like the comet) and a Liberty. Both girls. When I heard their names I thought of this thread straight away.

    In the Big Bang theory Howard’s daughter is named Halley, after the comet. That’s probably where they got it!

    Mate in UK told me of a birth announcement in the local paper:

    Kelcee-Maiii Rylee.

    I'm going out on a limb and saying that person will never be Prime Minister.

    Dweezil

    as in Dweezil Zappa

    Not actually his name,more of a nickname, which he took to calling himself. Now, Moon Unit, on the other hand, is her real name..goddamn hippies..:pac::D


  • Registered Users Posts: 515 ✭✭✭daithi1970


    In the book Freakenomics, there's a whole section on the influence of names..apparently some joker decided to call his twin boys Winner and Loser..Winner turned out to be low level criminal, while Loser went on to be a cop..go figure..


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,781 ✭✭✭Motivator


    A near neighbor of my sister has three kids: Brooklyn, Aaliyah and Savannah-Rae.

    The mother has never worked a day in her life and either has the father (well he’s the father of one of them) so it was almost expected her children would have three of the worst names imaginable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    There's a worker in my younger sons room at nursery called Tonica. I'm tempted to ask if she has a sister Gina...

    Jordan... All the iffy pregnant young ones in my area back in my day called their kids this. Boy or girl, it was named Jordan.

    Bonus points if your surname is Wolff?

    Kid on the plane on Wednesday afternoon - Kiki Bee.

    Not a bad name as it goes but with a dodgy Dub accent it doesn't sound brilliant!

    Smithie is one I heard for a baby boy recently.

    What is that? A nickname, a surname.


    It's not horrible, just a bit unusual for Thurles. Lol._

    With the risk of sounding racist....most black peoples names are ridiculous. Shaniqua/Marquisha/Tyrese/Jerome

    A lot of names that are now considered 'black names' are influenced by the French. Names like Chantal, André, Antoine etc have been given different spellings and or added De or La before them to make them sound unique.

    I read a twitter thread recently listing all the 'unique' names from a school in Utah. So 'white names' are becoming equally daft.

    How many black people do you know personally who have any of these names?
    I know about 11 Jeromes, none of whom are black.
