I encountered an Aloysius in a book I read as a child (no idea what it was) and spent the entire book pronouncing it 'ALLOY-see-us' in my head.

Yes, same. Was it Mark Twain? It makes me think of Mark Twain for some reason, which is odd as I only half heartedly read his books at school so I'm surprised I remember anything about them at all!

@LisbonKid you didn't check how to highlight another person's quote before posting though did you 😂
Some people on this thread really are being bitchy cows tonight. Ignore them @CucumberCool .

DysmalRadius · 18/10/2022 21:43

How about Spodo Komodo instead? Or Hiroshima Twinkie? Peewee Stairmaster?

LisbonKid · 18/10/2022 21:35

@LisbonKid don't be rude. Do you know how to spell every single name you ever hear correctly?
I doubt it.

no, I do not, BUT would check before posting
😆😆

MsFogi · 18/10/2022 21:19

All the (old) men I know who are called this are called Alo for short.

I doubt it.

Benjispruce4 · 18/10/2022 21:15

Apparently you can name a child River or Storm but a beautiful, classic name like Aloysius is crazy!

LisbonKid · 18/10/2022 21:08

You, madam, are a Fuckwit!

YourWinter · 18/10/2022 21:05

Don’t be so daft, your child is a person having to endure the name. Get a cuddly toy if you want to give something a stupid name.

Needmorelego · 18/10/2022 21:03

@shedwithivy my first thought was The Lorax so I now have all the songs running through my head. I don't mind because I really love that film.
@CucumberCool If I had just heard the name and never seen it written down I wouldn't know how to spell it either. To be honest it's one I would probably have to double check before writing it in a birthday card or something.
It's a pretty intense name for a baby.

chaotical · 18/10/2022 21:03

Aloysius is a real name - albeit one that brings to mind an Irish gentleman who's about ninety years old or a priest.

Alowicious just looks made-up and bizarre.

If you can't spell it, don't saddle your child with it.

This!! LMAO so funny!!!!

Justhereforaibu1 · 18/10/2022 20:57

Wouldn't be brave enough to use it but like you OP I really like the sound and flow of it!

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 18/10/2022 20:51

Oh yes, a Jorja and a Jorjeena. Not in the same school.

BagpussBagpussOldFatFurryCatpuss · 18/10/2022 20:50

You’re funny OP! 👍🏻😄

It's certainly true that people will queue up to tell you that you are wrong and stupid!

Well screw you, mean girls. I will name my imaginary child Alowicious and HER imaginary teachers will all tell HER what a lovely name it is. I will also sew it into all her imaginary school clothes. ✌

’HER’

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sleepwhatsthazzz · 18/10/2022 20:13

I love it. Was my milkmans name when I was a child, I have always loved the way it roles off the tongue.

Benjispruce4 · 18/10/2022 20:09

Oh dear @ZoyaTheDestroyer 😳

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 18/10/2022 20:05

HairyMcLarie · 18/10/2022 05:19

Yes but when did you last meet a child called Sho'Vaughan? Or Neev?

Show quote history

I have taught a Chevonne, several Neves, and a Porsche.

This.

You’ve basically done what every other person will do for the rest of your child’s life if you call him this.

I suspect there's no intended child.
