My cousin linked me to this, and I immediately thought of the MN Babynames forum!

Here ya go.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Thanks, you've solved my baby naming dilemma.

Girl: Diammond Sparckler
Boy: so manu to choose from but I am thinking Zero won't cause any complex in later life. No? :)

sfxmum · 07/01/2011 10:34

for a lot of them it just screams illiterate parents, there is no other possible explanation

Deciduousblonde · 07/01/2011 10:34

I thought that is what it was....lol...an Australian pal of mine mentioned it once and I daren't ask!

LMAO at Oii Niinjaa

That is pure genius!

(realises that she probably watches far too much martial arts movies/anime)

ShowOfHands · 07/01/2011 10:22

Yes the chav equivalent. BIL is getting married to an Australian in May and they explained bogan to me the other day.

Deciduousblonde · 07/01/2011 10:18

Some hysterical ones on there, but as has been said, some perfectly nice ones too!

I know one Nyah, I wouldn't have thought it strange or funny. Is Bogan like our Chav or Redneck? just a little guess

Consuela39 · 07/01/2011 10:09

There are some lovely names on it too.

But preserve us from some of them. Do you think the kids would change their names once they realise?

Eglu · 07/01/2011 10:01

Antwonet - hilarious, ditto - Berlinder
Koopa

I do agree that there are some perfectly normal names on there.

Little Yellow Teapot: Think of it as Cross-tal.

ShowOfHands · 07/01/2011 09:56

I've never heard of 'Nyah' before. Is it a variation of Nia? Nyah is Japanese for meow iirc (dh likes Japanese anime).

ShowOfHands · 07/01/2011 09:53

It is funny. And some of them did make me chuckle. But it did hurt to see dd's name on there. Thankfully though, there are several on there that are just normal names, hundreds of years old, yes maybe from a different culture but not worthy of being lumped in with Antwonet.

Mathilda
Mirabel
Orianna
Jorja
Abbey
Asiah
Jotham
Peyton
Tallulah

I know or have known people with the above names which are all listed on that site. All fine. Not bogan at all. Jotham for example is biblical, Abbey and Mathilda are older and alternative spellings of common names, Asiah is Turkish etc etc.

Dimple and Awesome sound like brilliant names for twins though.

Rhubarbgarden · 07/01/2011 09:00

Loving Maffew and Antwonet.

My wee girl is called Nyah.

It's on the list.

I love her name.

So "ner"!

ValiumTinselton · 06/01/2011 23:22

I like Elodie, Mirabel and Rafaelle from that list. I can't work out what's bad about Abbey tbh! Abbey is a normal enough spelling.

Also Stealth Wolf. What's wrong with STealth Wolf?

bellabelly · 06/01/2011 23:21

Banjo Rocket is fab.

ValiumTinselton · 06/01/2011 23:16

Kuda force (quite funny. sense of humour).

Were Australian children really given these names? or are people just saying 'wouldn't it be funny to be called Boodickah. and so on.

5inthebed · 06/01/2011 21:48

I knew I should have called DS2 Dan-Yel

muminthecity · 06/01/2011 21:44

Shadeaux is genius, I wonder if it's too late to change my DD's name? (She's only 5)

Galena · 06/01/2011 21:42

Yeah, there are some normal names, but I chose to ignore those over the ridiculous ones.

OP posts:

ShowOfHands · 06/01/2011 21:32

DD's name is on there. She has a normal name.

Some of the other names on there are just ordinary names too. Maybe from other cultures but not worthy of mocking.

Beasknees · 06/01/2011 21:31

Beeanchor is my fave

QODrestyemerrykidneystones · 06/01/2011 21:30

Thank GOD DD's name isn't on there ..... well it is, but with stupid spelling
