From another site discussing the most unusual names, I found this gem:

I thought I picked unusual names for my kids lol
Riley (9), Logan (5), Kai (3) and Jorji-Mae (16weeks)
To be fair my eldest two are the only ones in their school
Some people go too far when picking names for their children xx

She calls her child Jorji-Mae and thinks some people go to far.

Well yes, Pot Kettle hun.

I think your OP comes across as very sneery. I don't know if that's what you intended.

I dont get it... Are they your childrens names or someone you know who you have totally outed and therefore outed yourself?

Either way your OP doesnt make sense but I assume it's not nice, name your children what you like and let others do the same...

I think some quotation marks or italics are needed for clarity, before the OP is copied and sneered at in Pedants' Corner.

She can name her children whatever she chooses.

I reserve the right to sneer when she writes thatother people go to far.

So someone whose children are called those four names has said that some people go too far when naming their children...yes?

Because apart from Jorji-mae which is perhaps spelt a little out of the norm but otherwise ok if she likes it, the other three are pretty normal and quite commonly used

I would have to see the whole context of the thread you posted from to properly comment.
To be honest I think this thread is a little cruel.

My fav from that thread is the boy called Nivek- because his dad was called Kevin!
Just got back from a coffee morning and there was a baby called Sparrow. Hmm

TBH, I'm happy to roll my eyes at "Jorji". Especially if that person has criticised other names as being too out there.

Nicole Ritchie has a Sparrow (boy) I quite like it though probably wouldn't use it!
