to be upset by their reactions to his name?

[TescoValueNickname]

DS is nearly 2, and everytime I tell someone his full name, they make a face :( Our families, friends, and now people we meet at playgroups and nursery.

It's a fairly unusual first name, but really common middle name, and for some reason everyone finds it fun to snigger at him. I'm starting to worry that he'll be bullied for it at school. DP says to ignore them, and that they are just jealous that his name stands out from the crowd, but I can't help being upset by it :( I'm thinking even about stopping using his first name altogether.
AIBU to wish people would just accept him?

Ludo Chris isn't a ludocrous name.

You could call him Lou for short.

sorry, bored at work today

(and I think all the marks out of 10 would have been better written as 'TescoValueTroll' :o)

apologies :o

Love it when people don't get it :o

So who are you then? At least tell us that.

You're a bad person.

Had my suspicions but didn't want to call troll in case it was for real and anyone would actually call their child that, I have heard worse names before .

They are right to snigger it is a dreadful and ill thought through name

PanicMode - is the Sam and Ella one true?

I think you should change for Jesus Christ...sounds much better

See I read than and thought of this

My friend genuinely knows a couple who named their daughter:

Isla Skye

They wanted two Scottish sounding names but, not being from UK, weren't aware of the Isle of Skye.....

Well done for not putting the name in the OP and making people drag it out of you!

ludo is a board game. should not be used as a name ever. chris is awesome but ludicris rocks my socks spesh in 2 fast 2 furious

Attila is common name in Hungary.

Just saying.

Sam and Ella is true - well in my cousins Case ..Sam & Elenor! but cards etc are signed off as Sam & Ella.

My mate named his DCs Sam & Ella, didn't get the joke until his dad said "don't let them open a restaurant".

I really did know a family called King who named their DS "Wayne"

Poor kid.

Lol, I actually know a Ludo, but i don't think his middle name is Chris.
His name suits him.

We had Ella as a possible girl's name for our second until we realised.

This is a wind up right?? Like Theresa Green etc??

Sorry if you really did call him Ludo Chris but here are some more reasons to name your child carefully...
Harry Bawls
Mike Hunt
Ben Dover
Phil McCraken
Chris Peacock
Richard Head
Paul Mycock

I knew someone in 6th form called Will Swallow.

PMSL @ will swallow

really dont get wayne king? [bit dim]

Why would you tell any one his full name? When people ask you what your child is called they usually just mean the first name. You will probably get less looks too if you just say Ludo.

Edward Wayne King - Wanking

Great thread! Made me laugh. :o
