I teach a boy called Zen which is ok except he really is the most over-excitable, hyper little boy.

Nancy-Indigo

Both lovely names on their own, but together?

I know a girl called Tequila and her sisters are called Destiny and Mercedes.

On CBeebies birthday time there once was a card for a girl called Bunny-Love I do hope someone sent it in as a joke but I've always wondered you never know these days!

Ummm 'poke' in glasgow has a specific meaning...

ErnesttheBavarian · 30/08/2012 12:07

I guess he might get picked on for Boniface, but he's quite a big saint in many parts. One of our local churches is dedicated to Saint Boniface.

Pokey in a glaswegian accent. love it.

I'm torn between Busby and Buster

Worst name I heard shouted in a playground recently was "Boniface" for a boy aged about 4.
I desperately wanted to name DC, if a boy, "Blue/ Blu" Blush

On the bus once and a woman called her daughter laramie to press the button. My son looked at me and whispered isn't that a cigarette

There's a little boy in my Gymboree class called Edam. We all wear name badges and so when I first heard it I tried desperately to look at the sticker on his back... And there it was... EDAM. So odd.

Davis Bowie's son Zowie strangely changed his name to Joe.

Who is it who has a kid called Moon Unit?

Wasn't Tomasina Pollyannas cat?

coldfuchsia · 30/08/2012 11:42

Thomasina and Rupert. Thomasina is fucking awful. Rupes was an attempt to signal the child as upper class when they were anything but.
