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

What are they thinking?

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be pronounced "Cryforhelp" or the more traditional "Myparentsarewankers".
Either way, poor little sod.

What are his other kids called?

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 07/05/2020 13:48

Let's be honest though, the kid (whatever his name is) is a vanity project who'll be raised by staff, and 5 years from now they won't be a couple.

I recon he'll end up like David Bowie's son and end up changing his name to Paul.

Interested in this thread?

@NamerChangeroo Cool! Glad you're not one of those weirdo Musk-sniffers. Sorry if I overdid it, it's like antivax loons... gotta stamp on their nonsense else reasonable people might take it up.

The emerald mine thing is totally true - Elon was raised a rich kid. www.businessinsider.co.za/how-elon-musks-family-came-to-own-an-emerald-mine-2018-2

I hope you’re right @MrsDoylesTeaBags, because the parents genuinely seem too whacked out to be capable of raising a child together.

@TheHighestSardine

Huh... you learn something new every day! Ta.

Am I the only one who thought she was called 'Grimes' because she does 'Grime' music (not even really sure what that is - some sort of 'urban' or rap?). But apparently not. She has the reasonably unremarkable real name of Clare Boucher. I have yet to discover if this rhymes with 'voucher' or 'touché'.

AnneKipanki · 07/05/2020 14:09

Imagine all the problems the lad is going to have filling in forms later on .
( or the person doing it )

His first son was called Nevada Alexander. He tragically died as a baby.

Then there were twins, Griffin and Xavier.

Then triplets, Kai, Saxon and Damian.

(All six of these were with his first wife Justine, all boys, the twins and triplets were IVF babies.)

I'm going with Eth ☣️ Trebuchet🤦‍♀️•
The Eth is written like a backwards 6 with a crossed line, as in Old English.
It's pronounced Eth-Bar-Hizar-Tribooshay-facepalm-spot

HappyLemonSadLemon · 07/05/2020 14:34

The name reminds me of this Fry & Laurie at the top of their game: Mr Nippl-e

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 07/05/2020 14:35

Thats a beautiful name InMySpareTime. My friend called her dog that Wink.

She has the reasonably unremarkable real name of Clare Boucher. this made me laugh way more than it should have done.

Haworthia I do feel sorry for some of these sleb kids, I think in some situations they have a lot more to overcome than ordinary kids. I wonder if he has close relationships with his existing kids?

DamnYankee · 07/05/2020 14:45

He's a baby droid.
Glad I will never be that child's teacher...Hmm

CaptainMyCaptain · 07/05/2020 14:46

I read somewhere that in California you are only allowed to register names with English letters only so the child might be spared from a lifetime of bullying and having to pronounce their name 1000 times per day. the child is lucky then, I heard of a child registered in the UK as A-a (Adasha).

Fenlandmountainrescue · 07/05/2020 14:46

happylemon thank you for that clip

Thisismytimetoshine · 07/05/2020 14:48

That's an urban myth, Captain. The amount of times I've heard that; there must be one on every street 😂

Haworthia · 07/05/2020 14:49

I hear about kids called “A-a” so often, I’m surprised it hasn’t hit the U.K. top 100 Grin

CaptainMyCaptain · 07/05/2020 14:50

Don't think this was, it was on good authority although probably shouldn't have told me. I have seen names nearly as weird as that on a school register.

CaptainMyCaptain · 07/05/2020 14:51

Maybe the urban myth inspired someone to do it.

HermanHermit · 07/05/2020 14:54

I wonder if there’s some weird gender selection going on - pretty long odds on 6 boys, no girls (unless the twins / triplets are identical?). Didn’t the English actress who married him twice have any kids with him?

user1471565182 · 07/05/2020 14:59

It does help when daddy owns a couple of emerald mines to fund being an international tit. Even better if you buy the right to call yourself the creator of a company to try and pretend you're self-made.

user1471565182 · 07/05/2020 15:00

I always think he looks like he has another man trapped inside him trying to escape his face

Thisismytimetoshine · 07/05/2020 15:01

😂

ErrolTheDragon · 07/05/2020 15:09

I recon he'll end up like David Bowie's son and end up changing his name to Paul.

If you mean 'Zowie Bowie', he didn't really need to change his name which is Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones - 'Jones' of course being David Bowie's real surname.

Giving a kid a weird middle name isn't too bad so long as there's a reasonably normal first name.

Haworthia · 07/05/2020 15:25

Like that scene in Men In Black where an alien wears a human like a skin suit? Dead right.
