Well, no. Of course you don’t.

But it would be a bit odd to have three children called Muhammad, Aisha and William, or Lily, Olivia and Gilbert or something. Obviously those examples are at the extreme end but cases like that do arise in real life, sometimes because of adoption and sometimes because of a second relationship / marriage with tastes that have changed. But if you’re the child with the name that doesn’t really ‘go’ it can be a bit like a label that says you’re not really part of the family.

I’m not sure: I think Libby, Lily and Gilly roll off the tongue like a matching set!

My favourite was when someone asked for names that Hugo could be short for and someone suggested Hugogirl. 😂

That Hugo thread was brilliant.

The baby name forum is where I am gifted with the best-quality, whole-hearted, long-lasting belly laughs.

Summerdaisiesbuttercups · 28/06/2024 06:58

@Calliopespa - I know you’re joking, but it isn’t really about a ‘matching set.’ A name that is obviously culturally or religiously different to that of siblings can be difficult to live with for the ‘different’ sibling.

Sorry this is really offensive; my son is called Shag and we think it’s beautiful. My daughters are Derivative and Huaktuh. We love unusual names in our family. Each to their own.

I honestly thoughtt you were serious the first few times I read that until I realised I was reading huaktuh 😂

My mind just saw all the “l” and “i”sounds!

That sounds like you're talking about my friends Matthew, Mark, Luke and Norman.

A relative called their DD Storm some 25+ years ago, when "out there" names weren't so common. I remember being shocked at the poor child being saddled with such a name. Relative always was a bit of a weirdo though.

I've name changed because this is outing but one of my friends called her first born Ebony-Storm back in 1997

Sounds about right!

The outlandish idiotic names some folk are inflicting on their DCs makes me think anything goes these days. I think it's time the government supplied a list of accepted names and anything outside the list would need to be considered. So all daft names rejected.

😥 I like Rafferty…

I literally just watched a funny thing on instagram about very un-matching names:

3 siblings: Carl, Susan... and Princess
3 siblings: Miracle, Precious... and Abigail

WTF goes through these people's heads?!

Slofter · 28/06/2024 07:09

Lydia. They're all obsessed with the name Lydia. It's nice enough but I can never understand the frequency with which it's suggested compared to its popularity in real life.

@FamouslyFrothy We have a version of "one of born every minute" here and some one called their triplet boys "Devine, Destiny and Darren"

Reminds me of Malice Green, who was killed in an altercation with the Detroit police some 30 years ago. I remember thinking at the time, who would name their kid "Malice".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Malice_Green

When I was looking around nurseries a couple of years ago there was a kid being an absolute terror. He was being followed round by a member of staff saying 'no Maverick, don't do that'.
Maverick. Why would someone even think that's a good name to consider? Not as awful as Malice though.

I saw the name 'Brick' suggested on a thread the other day. Brick.

In the American sitcom The Middle, the youngest child is called Brick.
The mum says she names him Brick because "I once read that kids who have interesting names grow up to be interesting people"

Great TV show, one of my feel good shows I rewatch now and then

Every time I hear the word brick, I think of this! 🤣

And Ottilie! I can't stand the name, it sounds so... oily.

GirlOfThe70s · 28/06/2024 07:28

Many years ago I met an American woman who was talking about her children. Her son was called Click. I asked if that was a nickname, and she said, no, his full name is Click.

StripedTomatoes · 28/06/2024 00:45

Ah, little Shag. And his two younger siblings, Marry and Kill. Kill is your typical third child, absolutely wild.

This is the funniest thing I've read for ages proper made me laugh

Shag and String were just suggested (in a seemingly serious way) in the boho boy name thread.

What is going on in some people's brains!?

Op just wondering why didn't you put your thread there instead 🤔 this is abit like in the school playground where youve heard something and you have rushed over to your mates to spill the tea. 🤣

KatyaKabanova · 28/06/2024 07:30

I think Lily, Olivia and Gilbert are nice names.

KatyaKabanova · 28/06/2024 07:32

It's like when that tv Apprentice team called themselves "Degenerate". They had no idea what it meant. I suspect the same for names like Maverick.
