Names that made you think wtf?

My friends Mum recently had a baby and couldn't think of a middle name for her newborn girl. The Mum has a teenage sister, so whilst walking to the birth registration place, she let her pick the middle name just so her daughter had one. Turned out to be a normal name but what a way to pick a name.

There was a boy in my year who's middle name(s) were Ryan Giggs.

Anyone else come across strange reasons/funny names that made you wonder why the parents would want to put there child through it? Grin

Superbeagle like potayogurt says the Archie comics have been around since the 40's, so before the other Alice Cooper used the name.

Il never forget watching the chase and hearing the name Fanny Chmelar. I'd never heard of her before that. It made me laugh too much.

Once had a guest stay at the hotel I worked at called Fanny van Hamme. I read it as van hammee and couldn't go near the guest their whole stay for fear of breaking down in fits of laughter.

Next time posters say "oh, they won't get teased/bullied/laughed at for their name!" I will direct them to this mean spirited thread.

CuppaTeaTeddy · 17/04/2017 23:10

@NickMyLipple yes I'm sure it was pronounced that very way he told you! Fuck sake 😂😂😂

I know someone called Becky Leckey - she took his name when they got married! I had a PE teacher called Mrs Balls, a music teacher called Mr Bumhole (pronounced b'yew-mol-é) a maths teacher called Mrs Longbottom and a head of year called Mrs Pommefret. Head teacher was Mrs Head (Mary Theresa, making her MT Head).

Couldn't make it up!!!

twinklestar2 · 17/04/2017 23:01

I know a Jo King too. It was her married name.

YolandiFuckinVisser · 17/04/2017 23:01

Oh yes, and DS has a friend who is known as Rizzi but her actual name is Rizla. Teenage gossip says her mum is Virginia and her sister is Amber but this remains unsubstantiated.

When working in a call centre I spoke to a customer called Willie Cumming.
