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.

A woman on my postnatal ward named her son Trigger, I kid you not. Said she'd heard it on a TV show

Took me a while to work out Dd2's new friend in reception was Nasri and not Nursery.

Yabu

What are you DC's names op?

It's not the worst. I know a Dove White. Changed it to that himself mind, still don't understand why!

We have a cousin called "Etre" whatever were her parents thinking.

"A woman on my postnatal ward named her son Trigger, I kid you not. Said she'd heard it on a TV show"

Ah, but was it Roy Rogers (his horse?) or Only Fools?

Said she'd heard it on a TV show

OT, but thankyou for posting and proving that I am not going mad .. have had pyongyangkipperbang going round in my head for a week and could NOT remember where I had seen or heard the phrase.. It was you

I know of a teenage Avril who has a July birthday, and my former piano/keyboard teacher is also an Avril

I had two Kaiser's in my year at secondary school. Spelt Kaysir and Quasir. Islamic names - pronounced 'kaysir' or 'kefir'

I know an Avril.

A name I hate is Nevaeh, heaven spelt backwards, just awful.

Kesir

DD's classmate's sister was Colette, not collect. Also remember a school friend of mine back in the day thinking the vice president of the US was Dank Whale... anyone remember Dan Quayle 😂😂😂

is it really that bad though?! God - people get judged by everything these days eh

This genius Dan Quayle?

Rory Lyons at ds's old primary
And a Sigourney, a Mercedes
I went to school with a St John Goldfingle

You do realise that the car was named after the founder's daughter Mercédès.

My DS came home from nursery aged about 3, little X in my room has a new baby too!
Oh that's nice I said, is it a boy or a girl.
It's a boy.
And what's his name?
Let's say DD's name is Sophie
"Sophie" says DS.

My knowledge of WWI is anything but simplistic, probably why my first thought was of Wilhelm II. And my kids names are all classic names (of the Henry/George/Elizabeth sort). Probably considered dull but I figure that they will never be judged on a choice I made.

For some reason Portia spelled Porsche annoys me hugely.

What would you think if you met a wilhelm then?

I know a baby Caesar. I don't care what other people call their children but it always makes me think of dog food (I know the spelling is different).

I really hope his sister is called Ruby.

Beats twins I know called Tia and.... yep ... Maria.

Mandatorymongoose They were originally going to call him Mr Dog so I guess it's an improvement
