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.

It's just German for 'Caesar'. As well as Wilhelm II, it was the title of about 800 years' worth of Holy Roman Emperors (and their German and Austrian successors).

DD's little friend in Reception wasn't 'Tarzan' it transpired but Charlotte!

I thought Raquel Welch was called 'Racko Welsh' until I was about 20

I think on a list of dodgy baby name choices, this is wayyyyyyy towards the 'normal' end.

I don't mind it I wouldn't choose it but I wouldn't be thinking Errr? either

I agree, it's not like it was Kaiser Wilhelm's name...

DS's friend was in fact Elliot, not Idiot.

Yes, it just means Caesar. A bit like Prince or Rex. Sounds OK for a dog, but not the worst of all possible names for a human.

Definitely a dog name

Idiot 😂

Theres worse....there is a Shakira in my daughters school.

Worra I grew up calling her Racko too because my mum did! I'm sure I only realised once Raquel Trotter came along. Lovely name when you think about it

At least it's not James for a girl (perfectly ok on MN) but none of my mates would think ok, in the real world.

Wouldnt judge.
I don't think it's unusual ( or though i wouldn't pick it).
As mentioned someone on tm2 has also used it so more people will npw follow on.

I know a Sherpa (girl) and Zane (boy). Neither come close to the awful name a DC has recently been given in the family though. It is so bad I nearly died when I heard it and assumed the Dad was pranking me but....no.

I see some truly awful children's names in my job.
We had a khaleesi in last week.

Know a dog called Kaiser, helpful?

On the scale of weird names it's not exactly offensive or mind boggling.

Yes, I think it was my Mum's Irish accent

What's wrong with Shakira? It's a normal Arabic name.

I can't all the popular (mostly American) names like Cayden, Brayden, Aubree, etc, but I'm ashamed to admit I quite like Teen Mom's Janelle's baby girls name, Ensley Can't get over Chelsea's ex in it having a daughter called Paislee though!

My little girl is called Emily but her big brother pronounced it ENEMY for a very long time!

We now sometimes call her L'Bem (as if it's French... le bem) as a nickname and he has also shouted this out in shops - I'm guessing some people may have overheard and thought we named our child L'Bem

When I was in Primary 1 a boy came back after the Christmas holidays and told us his mum had had a baby on Christmas Eve, and the baby was called Jesus! We were all very impressed.

He came back to school the next day and said, actually, the baby's called Jason.

ds friend was Elliott not Idiot 😂😂😂😂😂

Kaisa/Kajsa are very common Scandi names
