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!

I met an American kid called Britain who's mother glared at me and snapped "It's Britain" when I mistakenly called her Britney.

@GreenDinosaur Are you sure it wasn’t Britten? Not that it’s any better 😂.

I’ve met a lot of Americans that name kids after towns and cities... little girls called “Dublin” boys called “Chester” etc but a surprising number of random towns, some near my own home...don’t want to be outing but the equivalent of “Wigan”, “Basildon” and “Crawley”. In fact, I think the latter is a genuine name I heard out there.

Brie or Bree

Henna or Henner (no idea how its spelt , heard the child called it)

@MrsDeltaB no worries, no offence taken They don't sell the drink in NZ so I have to admit it left me a bit baffled when I first saw it!

And my favourite odd names belonged to a teacher's two kids - the first was Forest (or perhaps Forrest) Malone Hercules and I'm sure the second child was Tiger Lily.

My friend is a teacher and has a student called 'K-a', pronounced K'dasha!!! 😱

I'm sure there was a Kaitlyn spelled 'Kaviiilyn' (the roman numerals of '8' - viii instead of 'ait') around. Will have a look.

Largepiecesofbrokenwood Hope she was very obedient!!

@Vivino Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley's new son is called Forrest!

Dp wanted to call our ds Tyger-Lili if he'd been a girl. I was actually fairly tempted by it probably best that he was a boy

@ShadyLady53, no idea, but you could be right. I didn't dare ask how it was spelt, the mum was a bit scary!

Pocahontas. I shit you not. The surname was Smith.

Also I know a toddler called Renesmee after the child in the Twilight books. Of course there's a dash in there somewhere.

That has reminded me of a student I had called Cinderella. Also Smith..

Dd's work colleague has called her dd Estelle - Celeste.
The df has a huge lisp...

Henna is actually a common-ish name in Finland, and I think a version of Hanna rather than related to the dying material. I went to school with a couple of Hennas.

The weirdest I've heard recently was Pink, but I don't know if it's all that horrible really. Just surprising!

I’ve got an acquaintance called Henna too, she’s Asian. It’s not a weird or horrible name 🙄.

Binkie... for a boy

Oh do fuck off with the K-A and KVIIIlyn shit. Try exercising a bit of critical thinking.

I also know a Henna, she’s Indian. I didn’t think it was unusual at all.

I know lots of AJs, CJs, TJs etc... (all adults)

I don't think they're unusual (or bad, even if they're not to my taste) at all

Neither is Brie or Forrest.

Brie Larson and Forrest Gump (two examples off the top of my head )

Brie in desperate houses!

Desperate housewives

Haha I remembered her after i posted! Also the actor Forest Whitaker
