“Mist, Anfer, Benjamin - come now’

[LaurieFairyCake]

Fuck off seriously

how much of a twatty area do you live in that the above are NORMAL names

even more beggaring belief is that BENJAMIN was the bloody dogs name

No idea what type of kid ‘Anfer’ was - could have been either a girl, boy or ‘fluid’ at about 4 years old

I’m not outing myself in my area by the way by posting this, I’m on a campsite

You're sure of the spelling? I was thinking that the author of "King Solomon's Mines" and "She" was "Rider Haggard" but apparently he had Henry as his actual first name, and the "Rider" was inherited from his father William Meybohm Rider Haggard (whose mother was a Meybohm - still don't know where the "Rider" came from).

Zebedee is a biblical name. I knew one when I was a child.

Misty is a perfectly normal name. I assume Mist is probably short for that. Anfer is different but that's just because I've never heard of it. Could also be a nickname. Benjamin is a great name for a dog. They all have human names these days.

There is a little girl in our road who has the nickname “pinky”.

Pinky is a pretty usual Indian name. I know a couple and a Priti and a Dimple. Also a Precious who is Ghanaian.

What does Mist mean in Germany ?, I have no idea, cheers.

'mist' in German is one of the words for muck, manure, dung, crap.

I have a Mexican friend called Anafer. I could imagine it sounding like Anfer in some accents. I've noticed that quite a lot of the "hilarious" names people mock on threads like this are actually just not English.

Was his mum telling him it was time for bed? OMG I'd have died... 😂
