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.

I went to school with a Kaiser. Said Kay-ser not Kye-ser

There is a local family who have a Beyoncé and Rihanna as their kids name I nearly pissed myself laughing when I was introduced to Beyoncé

It is a name growing in popularity! (Won't be adding this to the shortlist if there's another one though.)

I'm not sure that Paisley is any worse than Aubree or Watson though

Clearly you've never visited Paisley then!

As a child I thought my neighbour was called Violin, learned later that she was of course Violet.

My daughter told nursery that her new baby sisters middle name was Honey. It's Connie. 😂

My niece once came back from a wedding saying she'd made friends with 'Medicine.' Obviously, it was actually Maddison.

I just have to say I'm crying with laughter at this thread. The one whose sibling was rajbinder, rumplestiltskin and Eric?!?!! I love children they are hilarious
We have a few place names my DSs class my v normal northern dad always gets my kids to recount the names in their class then just sits there chuckling.

When ds was little one of the other kids in nursery was adamant that my name was Nigeria (it isn't).

When my sister Rachel was born, our cousin told everyone that her name was 'Churchill'!

Child at school seriously told me their new little brother was called Spot. Unmovable on this.

Asked him to check.

Was actually Mark.

"Maybe she's a fan of the Usual Suspects"

I thought that-Keyser(?)

A derivation of Kaiser/Caesar.

I was awestruck my childhood babysitter was called "Bovril".

"Avril" somehow didn't impress me, or my kindergarten friends, as much.

Sidenote: Haven't heard the name Avril around for years. Anyone know one?

Taught a Lenin once...I kid you not!

Ha, thanks for this thread which has made me chuckle.

I heard myself being talked about at a English Heritage property when I called DD1 "Rainbow Dash". We were playing an extended game of My Little Pony, of course, but it's nice to know that I look confident enough to call my kids something so yooneek.

I do but she'd be in her early 30's now. Not come across it since.

There's a Crystal-Alice round here. No prizes for guessing her Dad's football affiliation.......

Heard worse.

I know a John-Lewis.

I knew someone once who called her baby Jewels, and no, she insisted it wasn't the French way, Jules. Poor lad will be grown up now, and I wonder how he got on with the name.

Me too! And a peter jones!

I love the name Avril...but would you have to have your DD born in April for it to "work"?

Ps: Kaiser I associate with

• Jenelle from Teen Mom
• my American friend's Doberman Pinscher (brother of "Rommel" )
