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!

@FallenSkies Not Gloucestershire, but not a million miles away (Worcestershire)

What's wrong with Hugo, Eric and Benedict?

I knew an Aoife at uni and she was lovely.

Sisters called velvet, teasel, and pollen

Nirvana (a girl)

I remember my first day at high school and hearing the name Bernard called out. I still find it hilarious. My son has a Bernard in his year, too. As well as an Oswald. Trad. names, obviously but I can't imagine giving baby Bernard a cuddle! Reminds me of Nursey in Blackadder!

Velveteen

I'm enjoying this thread but have read some of these out to dp and he say's that they must be made up and how incredibly naive i am I knew a Snow Belle

I know of a Dolcie-Beau from a play group

I remember watching the American version of One Born Every Minute and there was a baby girl that was named Kevinisha because dad's name was Kevin.

A friend’s wife wanted to call their child’s Thor or Wolf if it was a boy. Luckily they had a girl.

How the hek do you pronounce Pheobe?

I know a Taffeta and Badger. Why?

@OneStepMoreFun

I actually know a Chevron (male) so maybe Chevroneece is the feminine version?

Hari-Beau 🙈

Brothers called Christiano and Ronaldo.

Oh and heard a mum calling a toddler named Elvis today

@rebel haha my cousin’s middle name is Elvis. So awful!

I know of a Honey-Blossom a Phoenix and an Indigo. All in the same school as my DS

I always wanted to call a boy Decimus. It's an actual name - there was a well known English (i think?) architect called Decimus - but pretty sure it would be called out on threads like these, particularly after Gladiator! We settled for naming our brutish looking Landrover Decimus instead - but if I had my baby making time again...🤣 . I would so love to shout "Decimus" across a supermarket aisle and I wouldn't give a cr*p what anyone else thought 😬.

Tiger-Lily

@Poppylizzyrose but you see, while you'd wanted 'not real names' ..

1 every name ever was a made up name at some point
2 it's not nice when people are horrible about the name of someone you care about, is it?

Which is why I don't like these threads - they're just not nice

Ps. As for other posts I love the name Elvis. I'm sad we didn't use it as a middle name because MIL adored Elvis and it would have been a real tribute to her memory.

@llangennith - you realise an opinion isn't pointless just because it's not your opinion?

Clearly you've misunderstood my post.

Just remembered, there's a Krystal-May at my daughter's school. Her parents are horrible chavs, and I don't care if you judge me for saying that. 😊
I just hope she never loses her coat ... 'Have you seen Krystal-May's coat?'
That kid deserves to get to the Crystal Dome and collect all the gold tokens.

This post was just a virtue signal then?

'Oh no, I didn't want the names you all find amusing/interesting. Just the really hilarious/horrid names that I would find amusing'.

My favourite ever names from my teaching career....
Scarlett-Elizabeth-Pocahontas (shorten that at your peril)
Blessingfromgod (all one word.)

and my all time favourite...
Sahylah-Bhouy
