Worst baby names you’ve heard of recently..

[Poppylizzyrose]

I’m talking the ridiculous ones, so not meaning to offend anyone. If you remember the story how you heard it please include that too!

Mine
When I was in hospital after my c section 6 weeks ago, lady across from me was talking to a nurse. The conversation went like this-

Nurse “he’s gorgeous! Does he have a name?”
Lady “yeh he’s legend king, after my dad”
Nurse “ooh....lovely!”
Lady “yeah named him after my dad as my dad died yesterday, same day e was born”
Nurse “oh I’m so sorry!”
Lady “it’s alright happened years ago, he was stabbed never liked the bastard serves him right!”
Nurse “okay! Right you can have these pain killers...”

😂😂 know I shouldn’t laugh but me and my mum told everyone at Christmas.

Names and stories please!

Some of the sneerers are simply displaying their own ignorance. Calypso is a perfectly normal Greek name. The most famous owner of it had a starring rôle in Homer's Odyssey.

A childhood friend of mine always said he'd name his son Loki (as in Thor's brother in Viking mythology) and he did

@dannydyerismydad I love Levi! But Denim (even on its own) is so bizarre maybe baby 3 was called Jean?

@LittleSwede too be honest that's quite a sweet name! I love GOT but unfortunately don't feel able to use 'Mother of Dragons' (or Daenerys for short)

Levi and Denim ... I'm keen to know what baby 3 was called and if they followed the theme.

Perhaps twin girls, a pair of Jeans? Sorry, couldn't resist ... I'll get my coat.

A pair of Jeans. Genius!

And I see waterplease beat me to it anyway

Thanks for the Bob update HalfBloodPrincess

To those who say they "hate threads like these as they're so mean spirited" my advice is don't look at them then.
At my old age I have no interest in threads about pregnancy or TTC etc so I just hide those threads. I certainly wouldn't go on them to post a pointless opinion.

Ruby-Ella

Neighbour.

(She must have missed the rubella connection)

It’s not pointless to remind people that many of us are uncomfortable with xenophobia, racism or jeering at poor people - hopefully it will help make MN a slightly less toxic environment?

There is a Sloane in DD's class.
We live in the French countryside and it is pronounced "slow-ann".

Have taught a Rhykka, Peanut ( saw it in black and white on the birth certificate), Del-Shaya and Freedom ( wouldn’t have been so bad but the child would tell anyone who would listen that he was named Freedom because he was born on the day that his Dad got out of prison on that occasion ).

There was a little girl in a newspaper article called Rugbie that I found quite amusing.

Their was twins at the baby weigh in clinic I went to and their names was shimmer and sparkle 

Cool.
Genuinely - went to school with my son

Cosmo is a Jilly Cooper name...

@RoyalChocolat. There is a US tennis player called Sloane Stevens.

Oh I forgot the worst one- Starlette. It’s even worse because the mums other kid is Craig 😂

My given name is commonplace, but my surname... you'll know when I've won the lottery, as a large man with a large stick will follow me about, correcting people's pronunciation and spelling.

Elderflower14 I know it has been given before in the English-speaking world. But why would you give it to your French child when you don't know how to say it? It's a bit like being English with no link to Ireland and pronouncing Niamh phonetically.

The majority of these aren’t real though are they.

Have a colleague whose children’s names are Italian and in English would be
Savage and Smile!

I suspect poor old Savage will be in therapy one day.

@RoyalChocolat agree! 👍
