People who choose such ridiculous names should be forced to change their own name.

I remember this causing much hilarity on MN at the time

I think those must be Labrador puppies.

@LostToucan

Or maybe the kids will be just be known as “Hippy, Dippy and Trippy”?

Why redact the parents' names when they presumably paid for the announcement and it's already in the public domain?

I reckon Olivia and Hugo are going to call their third child Tabs despite the bizarre actual names.

Tabby, Ronny and Dion I bet

Fabulous. Thanks for sharing OP.

Brilliant! I love threads like these... I use them to show my DDad that DD's non traditional name could be far worse!

YouLando · 02/03/2021 23:01

Poor kids. Parents should have gone for something like Pee Wee Stairmaster, Tri Peg Lips or my favourite, Spodo Komodo.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 02/03/2021 23:36

Yeah, the redacting was a bit superfluous especially as I forgot the second surname.
I get, in a way, the classical names, but Triptych? Let’s face it,in those circles you can get away with such wankery. Not so much say in Bishop Auckland or Leeds. (Or anywhere in real life)

I read an interview with the pj designer, in it she calls the boys Hiero and Chaos. So looks like Dionysus might go by his middle name? Confused

GreenHairThingy · 03/03/2021 00:25

I think they got confused and clicked on The Kennel Club registration page instead of the Birth Registrar.

There is a kid on Instagram ( well know parents) poor girl is named Gravity !

Liquorishtoffee · 03/03/2021 13:03

Oh I misread that as ‘Gravy’ and thought ‘that’s not so bad...’

CandidaAlbicans2 · 03/03/2021 14:03

Well, Olivia and Hugo should get in the sea, the pair of twats!

Liquorishtoffee · 03/03/2021 14:47

I wonder if they have any pets?

Liquorishtoffee · 03/03/2021 14:48

Reminds me of a christening a friend when to where the baby was names ‘John Thomas’. She said there were a few childish sniggers in the church...
