The worst kid's name you've ever heard?

Hamsterchops · 30-06-2021 06:16AM

Anto, Bono, Dano, Jono, Monto, Spamo, Gonzo ...

Basically anything ending with an o.

Words escape me

The immensely annoying, irratating and utterly talentless Vogue Williams called her poor child Theodore!!!

I suspect these C Rated celebrities pluck their children's names out of an attention & publicity seeking hat.

I'll say no more

Vogue Williams is a cute hoor. Her baby Daddy's family are billionaires . She never want for anything ever again

If I heard the name Lucien, my initial instinct would definitely be: "Give this person an atomic wedgie immediately"

I think her own family were fairly well off, themselves. So not sure that’s all she was thinking about.

Probably already on a 50k retainer with RTE to stop other channels snapping up an immense Irish broadcasting talent

So he'll be Teddy or Ted. No big deal.

An absolute pack of wolfs going around it’s nothing unusual in those circles, off the bat I can think of Gillespie and Meyers. If any livestock goes missing you know who to blame..

I haven't managed to check all 450 pages of this thread, but has Gobnait (aka Gobnat) been mentioned? Imagine saddling that on your daughter. I know I will get half of Cork and Kerry giving be a hard time over this.

Give Gobnait 16 years and she'll meet a nice young chap known as Buttfayss.

There was a boy in Austria whose family had the surname "Hitler" believe it or not. And despite this, what did his parents choose as his first name?? Adolf!!

He was born in April though, I think possibly in 1889, so it was before the name had really developed a bad reputation. Still though, by the mid 1930s the name "Adolf Hitler" was known world wide for obvious reasons, so I still feel sorry for the guy. He would have been in his 40s at that stage - he'd moved to Germany by that stage too. I think he moved into politics. Must have gotten some stick!

He even has a wiki article, died relatively young too - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

It's posts like this that push Godwin's Law to new heights. I mean, we can't have a thread about ANYTHING without someone reminding us that Hitler was bad?

THIS GUY though..

My mum was just telling me about 2 baby boys on This Morning. One named Lisbon Lion and the other called Huckleberry.

Parents can be such dicks.

It has been mentioned. I have known a few in my time and TBH I have never given it any thought.

magicbastarder · 19-07-2021 08:29AM

another irish name, also probably mentioned before, is (and i'm going to get the spelling wrong) Aeneis. and it's pronounced 'anus'.

i know a guy whose dad's name is Aeneis. and he was a schoolteacher too.

Not sure if that’s Irish, are you sure it’s not like that Enos from ‘Duke of Hazzard’? Or possibly Aeneas from Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’?

magicbastarder · 19-07-2021 10:13AM

a quick google suggests it's a hibernicised use of Aeneas, so looks like you're right. and one of his sons is called Aonghus.

Either way, not a name anyone should be calling their kid. I’ve never been a fan of ‘Éanna’ either.

Obviously a Celtic supporter. But if the kid ever goes to Lisbon to see a game, he had better be careful: Sporting are known as "Os Leoes" (the Lions), so he should be very wary of Benfica supporters. And Sporting have a fan group called the No-Name Boys (in English): a wiser choice of name.
