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 Grin
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!

Kenny is unusual for a 9yo. I met a baby Derek recently which also seemed unusual for a baby.

A little boy called Bobbie-Rai

Rai is pronounced like “Rye” instead of “Ray”, but the worst bit is the parents make you say the whole name. They get grumpy if you just call him Bobbie even though that what he himself prefers.

nicenewdusters · 11/08/2019 20:07

Sisters called Red and Six, the dad was a huge Liverpool fan.

Delatron · 11/08/2019 20:22

Someone in a Facebook group I am in has a child called Bodhi-Fox, a double barrelled first name.

In the 90's I was at school with a girl called Pepper.

I know two young siblings who are called Harry and Bo.... someone didn't think that through. Also siblings called Holly and Olly.
