When I was in hospital having my daughter, I couldn't sleep and went for a walk, I heard the midwives whispering and giggling and found out a woman had been in and had another boy, her first son was called Ronnie and she called her second son ............ Reggie!!

TiggyR Mr Moet was indeed Dutch - and it's pronounced "moot". Sorts the women from the girls too!

Family I knew named their four children after brands of motor bikes.......

The girls were Arielle and Sette,shortened from Valhasette - the spelling made me think of a lounge suite!

The boys were named Triumph and Trident.

I guess Harley was too common for them!

I bet all of these kids grow up to have children with very common/popular names

Albert was my Grandad's name, didn't make shortlist for DS at all but nothing wrong with it.
DB's SIL has gone with a theme for her 4DCs and I like the names, even when all together
Another one who didn't know how to pronounce Hermione pre-HP
Was also very [giggle] about a boy called Leaf when I was at middle school, had never heard of Leif (Ericksson?) not sure how he spelt it, but I was 10!

Surname - Gina. Not pronounced Gee-na, pronounced Jye-na

simplesusan · 16/08/2009 21:03

I actually know a BJ and that is his full name.

I have an abhorrent dislike of Maddox as in Angelina Jolies son's name.

TiggyR · 15/08/2009 21:58

And the little girl whose brother pronounced 'Thalia' with a F - who will be the one to tell their mother that it's actually pronounced Tar-lia, like Thomas, not a 'th' sound at all!

TiggyR · 15/08/2009 21:36

Moet, pronounced Moway, after the oft' mispronounced champagne which is correctly pronounced Mow-ett. (Mr Moet was Dutch, not French, and it's one of those 'sorting the men from the boys' bits of wine knowledge that marks you out as a no-nothing flash barrow boy, when you ask for it in a bar. ) How embarrassing. Serves them right, bloody pretentious twats. (the parent, I mean. Poor child, though.)

And Kenyon......for a girl. WTF?

Diesel, it was on wife swap - poor kid!
