I know someone whose daughter and son are called Paris and Troy. Really! Aside from being utter rubbish, I mean, if we are going with mythology Paris is a boy not a girl, and Troy is a place not a person! Its Paris and Hector surely? Or Troy and Mesopotamia?

So can you top that? Go on, I could do with a laugh.

I know a Melanie Melville. And I used to go out with a Heathcliff, Ellen. He had a sister called... Sharon...

I went to school with a girl called Tina Coffey. I'd known her for five whole years when I heard a teacher shout it and I suddenly realised how ridiculous it was. I went round going "Tina Coffey! Tina Coffey! Geddit??" and everyone was Hmm

I worked with Richard whanker - really I did AND he shortened his name.

A friend taught a little boy called Peter and brother Sherman - surname if Tank

My maths teacher was called Mrs Cocker. If I ever end up a teacher hell no I would have to change my name if that was my surname.

PickledFanjoCat · 20/11/2012 22:34

My dp just told me he had a teacher called. Richard splash but he was lying..

I don't know if this true but I'd love it if it was. A friend told me he used to go to school with a boy whose father was a plumber. Their surname was Pipe. And the boy's first name? Dwayne!!

oooh there was a girl at my first school called Teresa Green!
and I had a maths teacher called Mrs Measures

PickledFanjoCat · 20/11/2012 22:14

I met a penny pen at a funeral recently. That has to be marriage.

I once knew a Rose Bush. And my head mistress was called Olive Blott.

PickledFanjoCat · 20/11/2012 22:09

I actually quite like the name randy but you can't can you. Too cruel.

borisjohnsonshair · 20/11/2012 22:09

I was in A and E once and the girl in front of me in the queue (about 15) was called Lollipop-Mae, with a double-barrelled surname too. Poor bugger.

YoullScreamAboutItOneDay · 20/11/2012 22:07

I knew a Kate Bush. I always thought that was unfortunate since her parents named her when Kate Bush was already quite famous.

I worked with a Randy once too. American, but really shouldn't have moved to the UK. Poor guy.

Mrsdevere, two of my dcs names were in the list you mentioned. My Oscar did have such lovely curls before his haircut - sigh. < hates that I am so predictable and safe in my name choices>

OP here For what it is worth, when I started the conversation I had the likes of Sam and Ella in mind, not Scarlett and Jade (I think they are perfectly acceptable names) and certainly not general name bashing. Just themed or ill-thought out sibling combinations.

Exactly brandy.

InNeedOfBrandy · 20/11/2012 21:46

There is a massive difference between sam and ella then any of the scarlett and jade names.

Little dick and big dick head.

I thought it might be a new swear?

frantic51 · 20/11/2012 21:43

My Dd knows a pair of brothers called Chris and Drew; not too bad until you learn that their surname is Peacock! Grin

PickledFanjoCat · 20/11/2012 21:43

No one is saying amusing names are not allowed actually if you read the thread.

Depends what you find "amusing" really Hmm

amarylisnightandday · 20/11/2012 21:41

Again with the judgey warning....are there subjects on mn that just arnt allowed any more. I'll add amusing names to the list with SIDS causes then.....sigh

picnicbasketcase · 20/11/2012 21:38

Grin at P Nurse and A Nurse, the poor things

CrapBag · 20/11/2012 21:37

"We told DS not long ago and his response was along the lines of "well thank F* you didn't call me that - were you both going through a total twat stage or what?"

This is hilarious!!!!! Grin

amarylisnightandday · 20/11/2012 21:37
