to judge this baby name?

[PyongyangKipperbang]

Or rather the parents that chose it?

Overheard in the local shop a young girl (8ish) telling her friend that her new baby brother is being called....Kaiser. She wasnt joking.

Well, to give her the benefit of the doubt it's not that different to calling a child Prince or Queenie or Duke (not unknown in America)

I'd judge yeah. I hate it when people give their kids names which may damage their future prospects. Someone I know has just called her baby boy Ozzy

And it might be Kai, misheard by an 8 year old.

Ozzy is great!

Maybe she's a fan of the Usual Suspects.

Maybe their surname is Chief

Maybe they are German speakers? Bloody awful name though.

might be Kai, misheard by an 8 year old

Reminds me of a child I looked after who insisted his neighbours were called Conker and Tuna (Connor and Junior)

It's one of those American names because there's a girl on teen mom called jennelle who's son is named kaiser which I think made it more popular too.

I actually like it.

On hols in Wales about 8 years ago there was a Jamiroquai (?) in Poundland....
Wonder if he got Jam for a nn.

Yep teen mom Janelle Evans Kaiser must be about three now it's not a name I would choose but it's not the worst.

I've heard worse.

I've heard a lot worse.

Ha you've all just reminded me of dd1s little friend Custard who lived next door to her gran.

His mum called him Curtis!

I just cannot imagine naming a kid after the honour title of the bad guy in WWI.

Is his second name Wilhelm by any chance....?

I know a girl called Kaisa, it's a Scandinavian name.

Pyongyang. Cross post! My thoughts exactly. What would they go for for number 3? Tsar? Fuhrer? Chairman? The list is endless.....

What a terrible name 😐

I.knew a Kasia I went to school with her but it was pronounced kasha I think her parents were polish?

That's actually a fairly common name-most people are so ingnorant of history and baked goods these days that they probably don't even get the connotations

I live in the U.S. and some of the names here are hilarious. There was a woman named ‘Vendetta' on the TV yesterday.

Fans of the Kaiser Chiefs maybe?

My child told me his friend was called Dude.

(Turned out it was Jude)
