A baby in Kerry has apparently been named......

[chipmonkey]

Lady Gaga.

OK, I'm all for unusual names but I think this is very unfair on the poor baby.

[Thediaryofanobody]

Bless I bet they though they were being original.

[lifeas3plus1]

What you talking about? It's an absolutely lovely name............

[MrsRhettButler]

i'm absolutely gaga about it!!

[hopperdee]

My brother works with overseas students and one is called Lady Diana

[BustleInYourHedgerow]

Christ. I thought the birth registrars were pretty strict in Ireland? My mother wanter to register me as an abbreviated version of my name, and she wasn't allowed. I suppose things have changed in 25 years.

[swanandduck]

They will have trouble if they try to get a baby baptised with that name in Ireland.

[wukter]

30 years ago my big sis called me Baby Gaga.
Prescient toddler.

[WhenKevinMetSadie]

Do you mean a baby in Kerry Katona rather than Co. Kerry?

Cos that seems more plausible to me.

[mathanxiety]

This is why there are Kerry jokes. (It seems very plausible for this Dubliner...)

[MagalyZz]

Oh that is terrible.... did the registrar allow that? I don't know if there are any rules as such but I can imagine the average registrar is quite sensible and would steer a parent away from such a ridiculous unusual choice.

I agree mathanxiety, the rest of the country is going to go to town on kerryman jokes again! thought they'd died down.

I'm trying to think of something that sane to shorten it to, that would disguise it's embarrassing origins. Didi!?

[MagalyZz]

chip monkey is there a link or did you hear iton the radio!?

[chipmonkey]

Heard it on the Colm and Lucy show yesterday. missing Gerry emoticon

[chipmonkey]

I think there would be trouble baptising a baby with that name but they may very well be heathens! I do know that the year ds1 was born there were 2 Pocohontas's born in Dublin so the registrars can't be all that fussy!

[fatheadsgirl]

Oh dear. The term cruel and unusual punishment springs to mind

[fatheadsgirl]

Just remembered..... the actress Shannyn Sossamon (A knights Tale, 40 Days and 40 Nights) named her son....... AUDIO SCIENCE!

Think I'd rather be Lady GaGa

[shortontime]

Social services have been informed I take it?

[chipmonkey]

It's you, isn't it Kerry! You've gone and had a baby and called her that!
