Bad Baby Names...

Have come across a Nigerian boy called Destiny alright! Some girls names all of whom were Irish that i've come across would be Storm, Treasure & Uisce ( Irish for water)

My daughters name is Sadhbh. Whats your beef?

It's a very harsh sounding name. Not a pretty name for a little girl at all.

So long as you don't pronounce it "Soymh" you're ok.

Went to college with a guy called Aonas,the poor cnut.Know another kid called Bonny.

There was a request on TodayFm yesterday morning for someone's child who was called Starling,that's great-name your kid after a noisy bird that shites everywhere.

I knew a girl, called "Girl". >.>
Another was "Usanavy" (the mother saw it on a boat, thought what a lovely name XD )

I've never liked, using months as names, and the name "Skye" >.>
Also knew a boy called Marian. Poor kid.

I think the biggest problems with names, I guess, is the multi-culture, travelling. A name might seem just fine in one country and be totally off in another.

I know of two Nigerians, a girl called jelly and a man called innocent.

What's wrong with "Justus"? Perfectly normal name, that?

That said, I think some parents are either had their brains surgically removed, or they really hate their kids.

I never got over the name "Chardonnay"... why would you name the kid after what helped conceive it?

Richard snr I guess

I know one woman who called her child nevaeh... heaven spelled backwards.

I also met one mother who called her daughter Yvonne, but pronounced it wih-vun-ee.

Great names for a cat or dog though. I wanted to call my cat Trevor or Kevin. Hubby said 'NO' :pac:

I like ironic names for animals...

There were two boys near Swansea called Thor and Odin. They would both be in their forties now.

The Norse God Thor was given the opportunity to visit Earth and mix with mere mortals. Pondering the best place to make his appearance, he chooses London and decides to visit a nightclub. No sooner had he entered the club he meets a nice young lass who suffers with a lisp. Anyway, the two get on together and at the end of the night, the girl invites Thor back to her place. As you can imagine, one thing leads to another and they end up in bed together, and he gives her the ride of her life. Every position, every hole, they go at it hammer and tongs all night.

The next morning after managing to snatch a few hours sleep, Thor jumps from the bed and pronounces, "I am Thor, the God of Thunder!" To which the girl replies "You're Thor! I'm tho thor I can't even pith!"

Three of Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue's kids are called Gunner, Decker and Storm Sixx. Very rock and roll.

Other horrid names I've heard of include Jerorika, Dystney, Cherry, Princess, Brogan, Bandit and Toolah.

SusieBlue

Jayden, Kayden, Zayden, Rayden et al. bug the hell out of me. Aidan is lovely though

I have an aunty called Eucharia (pronounced You-care-ee-ah) which I think is pretty awful!

Apart from the obvious ones that I ssociate with skangers (Princess, Courtney Angel, Rihanna, Tyrone, Dwyane, Dean) I have a huge gripe with super common names, especially Irish ones.

When I hear of a new baby Aisling, Aoife, Niamh, Ciara etc. I think "really, another one?!".

Common names don't appeal to me at all.

And also a friend of a friend recently called their baby Zander.

Beyond bizarre.

Xander, such a normal name where I was living in Melbourne it was their version of Seán or Niamh. Everywhere, not that strange.

I know a pair who called the young lads Madison, Autumn, Lukah and Rocko-Dean. All with the second name King.

The father is pure culchie, the mother is a bit of a head-in-the-clouds type :pac:

ONeill2013

out of the top of my head, Jordan (for a male) and any common Irish names already posted.

I volunteer for community games and was taking their names and placings in the races, had all the usual Conors Cians and Paddys coming in, then Storm. Why?!

My second name is Lee, the other half was musing about baby names one day and she loves Irish names so she suggested Éanna.

I was like "I might stick that with Rea and Sirius in the maybe pile"

Being named Jiff...

Shaneese (my old next door neighbour called her girl this) had to listen to her giving out to and calling this child loudly about 20 times a day for about 5 years.

Lovely child but sorry parents Shaneese doesn't suit a white pasty skinned Irish girl child, please don't ruin its life by giving her a stupid name!

Cooperspale

Met an Australian named Mate Smith, saw his driving licence too so no joke. Awful name because so many Aussies call everyone mate.

George Foreman named his sons George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI - and one of his daughters Georgetta.

I personally think that was very diplomatic of him

Sure Michael Jacksons' sons are both Prince Michael. Well the Prince part is mad, but both are Michael.

In the book Freakenomics there's a chapter devoted to the possible outcomes of children related to their given names..and a wonderful little story of a man who called his two boys Winner and Loser...

i heard a traveller woman in spain shout at her daughter to come and eat her dinner once.

im sure all the skangs have babies called Beyonce too, and probably named after any other rough pop stars.

I was on the hospital a few months back after being bitten by a poisonous spider (different story) and there was an old doll around my age (mid-20s) in with her toddler boy who was called "Thai". The gobsh*te behind the desk was cooing over how lovely a name it was etc. The child was mixed-race black and white like, and the poor little f*cker was named after a South East Asian nationality? I despair sometimes. Other hilarious ones I've heard in London were "D'Shawn" and the like. Putting a capital D in front of a name should be bloody forbidden. Back in Ireland I know a "Jay-Mee", a "Batsheeba", an "Eimhin" (I think it's supposed to be Evan?) and believe it or not, a "Sepharim".

And to be fair, the concept of retarded names isn't limited to Jeremy Kyle guests or crusty new-agers. Abbreviations are now all the rage amongst the upper-middle classes in England with a plethora of Jakes, Harrys, Joes and Joshs springing up all over the place. These are shortened nicknames like, they shouldn't be put on kids' birth certs.

Also the middle classes are murder for picking European names like Gabriella or Isabella etc to appear more sophisticated.

Whatever happened to Brian and Mary?

Same. That's an issue with names, you can pick the nicest name in the world, but you don't know what knackery pop star is going to come along and ruin it.

It's pronounced Pah-GAN. It's Spanish, not Irish!
