I lived in Abu Dhabi for 7 years. It was rather hot.
Coincidentally my sister is called Amy. Apparently she is hot too.

tk123 · 15-01-2005 12:25am

Ah lads just give your future kid a NORMAL name - i have an "unusual" name and it gets old pretty quick with people not pronouncing it right or spelling it wrong or trying to chat me up by telling me it's unusual etc...

"I'm not letting you name your child after a ****ing buiscit"

Sarky · 15-01-2005 10:18am

Give your kids an early start in life. Give them names like Doctor, Queen, General, and so on.

It could work.
Or it could have disasterous consequences! Imagine naming your kid devourer of souls?

I think I'll call my kid Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo.

Plaguebearer O' Grady, Death-Of-All Garavan, and Satan Murphy.

Karl Hungus · 15-01-2005 10:45am

I like Plaguebearer O' Grady, has a nice ring to it.

But if you really wanted to give your kid a good headstart in life, you could call him playboy?

rofl @ Google Payne.

nmrd600 · 16-01-2005 10:03pm

even remotely strange names suck. try caraher, my surname. it's pronounced the way it's spelt. ka ra her. yet, i'm being called 'o callagher' and 'carager'

and it doesn't help when your french teacher calls you 'carabo'.

but, shouldn't the kids name be yahoo! with the exclamation mark? or even YIM? (i'm presuming they're talking about yahoo instant messanger)

You think your surname is bad try Schaffalitzky de Muckadell. Also pronounced phonetically (shh-affa-lit-ski) it seems to be a major challenge to everyone to pronouce right.....it got mumbled at my graduation as the Registrar hadn't a clue. Spellings also seem to be a bit hapahzard.

I'm currently working on crazy first names for my children too

rainbow kirby · 16-01-2005 11:31pm

/me is glad to be called Doyle...

StupidLikeAFox · 16-01-2005 11:36pm

Yeah and why is it so hard to see, when ya put "Holligan" on the sheet, that it DOESNT mean all return mail should be addressed to hooligan, halligan, o'halligan, holohan or (in one case anyway) hololligan

Raphael · 17-01-2005 12:43am

humanji · 25-01-2005 9:23am

It was a lie all along...

From Yahoo! News:

BUCHAREST, Romania (Reuters) - A Romanian tabloid said on Monday it had fired a reporter for making up a story about a couple who named their son Yahoo as a sign of gratitude for meeting over the Internet.

Bucharest daily Libertatea published a story this month saying two Romanians had named their baby for the popular Web site and printed a picture of his birth certificate. The news was published internationally, including by Reuters.

"It was the reporter's child's birth certificate, which he modified," said Simona Ionescu, Libertatea's deputy editor-in-chief. "We fired him."

She said Ion Garnod, who had worked for the paper for several years, had admitted inventing the story to look good.

"If it were real, it would have been a good story indeed," Ionescu said.

Garnod was not available for comment.

Ah, well, it was funny while it lasted.

I'm gonna call mine boards!
