From another site discussing the most unusual names, I found this gem:

I thought I picked unusual names for my kids lol
Riley (9), Logan (5), Kai (3) and Jorji-Mae (16weeks)
To be fair my eldest two are the only ones in their school
Some people go too far when picking names for their children xx

She calls her child Jorji-Mae and thinks some people go to far.

Well yes, Pot Kettle hun.

Shouldn't it be TooTiredToBeFunny? Or is that the funny bit?

FunnysInLaJardin · 07/06/2013 21:57

flips the bird at usual. See you on the drunk thread sucker

A former pupil of mine was called Rimelle.
I struggled to keep a straight face, I always thought of rimming.

Totiredtobewitty, transporting a thread from one forum to another with the specific intention to mock it, that has to be the trashiest thing I've seen online in a while. So well done, Flowers you win the shabby behaviour award.

Well OP I suppose at least the mother of little Jorgi-mae knows the correct use of to vs. too ;)

Gotham Delilah Ice
Thyotaizia
Blaze Victoria Tess
Pystol Alyzabeth Fierce
Storm Thunder Ulysses

Surely these can't be real names?!
Thyotaizia sounds like a nasty disease, why would someone do this to their child?

I believe this is a thread about a thread on Netmums.

MN does name snobbery well enough without bringing Netmums into it.

SoupDragon · 07/06/2013 17:08

Can't you keep your sneering over there.

Well, no. Mostly because I'm not sneering over there.

With trepidation I offer John Jack that I heard yesterday, two lovely names but together as one? Wouldnt that make it Jack Jack or John John?

FunnysInLaJardin · 07/06/2013 16:50

  1. If you are happy to judge other people's names you should be prepared to have your choices judged.
  2. That thread is pretty much all about judging names without the person being there.

Imagine as a teacher being presented with Pystol and trying to keep a straight face.

I couldn't care less if she does Christable

Christabel3 · 07/06/2013 15:56

oh come on. I've probably told people I dislike the names they suggest here on mumsnet but at least that was to the poster's face, so to speak. I can't believe you've brought her thread to another forum to slate it. I hope she doesn't find this thread.

SoupDragon · 07/06/2013 15:51

From that thread I give you:
Gotham Delilah Ice
Thyotaizia
Blaze Victoria Tess
Pystol Alyzabeth Fierce
Storm Thunder Ulysses

Thank you for the gift of netmums! I'm a naughty snurker!

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 07/06/2013 14:44

... she's right - some people do go to far - shame she doesn't realise she's one of them Grin Jorji-Mae for godsake.
