I can’t find a thread on this, though I’m sure there must be one.

What are they thinking?

OP posts:

I imagine they are thinking "how can I use my son's birth to get as much attention as possible?"

Thisismytimetoshine · 07/05/2020 08:48

That is exactly what they're thinking. Gobshites.

I feel sorry for the poor child! What are they going to call him day to day? It's just such a stupid name!

Interested in this thread?

They are twats.

megrichardson · 07/05/2020 08:56

idiots.

BruceAndNosh · 07/05/2020 08:57

I'm thinking that half way through tweeting the baby's name, Musk sneezed, and accidentally typed a load of random letters, then decided to stick with the result.

Bagelsandbrie · 07/05/2020 08:58

I’m sure behind closed doors they probably just call him Bob or something.

The best example ever of "won't I look cool with a kid called . . ." rather than "what would be the best name for my child to take on his/her life's journey," I have yet seen. And there is some stiff competition.

I have no idea who or what Elon musk is (sounds like lion perfume) But In NewZealand their were some parents that wanted to call their kids 'fish' and 'chips'Grin

And yet on here the Baby Names board is full of people asking for suggestions for quirky and interesting names and people posting, “I know ten little Cillans and they’re all really cool”.

Hmm

I read that it's like they needed an 8 digit password with one number and one special character and then decided to name their baby Grin

The attached meme made me laugh too.

Elon Musk’s son

@tempestterra he is a famous billionaire and owns tech industries - famous for space ships and electric cars.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 07/05/2020 09:14

He’s the fucker who has screwed up the night sky with unnecessary satellites. Reading into it he also seems a tad controlling.

FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack · 07/05/2020 09:18

FamilyOfAliens Cillian is a perfectly normal and common name, it's just not English. It's hardly an equivalent to Elon Musk's not actually a name effort.

BruceAndNosh · 07/05/2020 09:21

Grimes' explanation "AE is my Elven spelling of Ai"..... made me roll my eyes.

I imagine its a massive publicity stunt and the child is going to be called something normal like Ceanothus

BeatrixPottersAlterEgo · 07/05/2020 09:22

FamilyOfAliens I think you will find that Cillian is a perfectly ordinary name

Pleasebeafleabite · 07/05/2020 09:23

AntiSocialDistancer* Grin at that meme. I am only posting this so I can follow this Thread

BruceAndNosh · 07/05/2020 09:25

I'm also amused that anyone not only has a favorite aircraft but that it's "our favourite aircraft"

BruceAndNosh · 07/05/2020 09:26

famous for space ships and electric cars and being a bit of a twat

Bienentrinkwasser · 07/05/2020 09:26

Surely they can’t put that bullshit on the birth certificate though?!

Angelnix · 07/05/2020 09:27

Buzzfeed has some great memes!

I wonder if he just fell asleep at the keyboard and they decided to roll with what he'd hit!

AngelaScandal · 07/05/2020 09:28

You might be unfamiliar with it, but Cillian is not an outlandish name.

AngelaScandal · 07/05/2020 09:28

Thanks @BeatrixPottersAlterEgo my traybake hero 🦸‍♀️

ErrolTheDragon · 07/05/2020 09:28

Æ is the old letter 'Ash' or 'ash tree'.

I think the child's full name is Xasha-dozen.
