To ask the worst names you have heard?

[user1488794856]

In the super market today and heard a mum shout "beige" to her daughter...no joke! At first I thought I had misheard Paige...but no, definitely beige.

Got me thinking... what are the worst names you have come across?

I once came across a Sapphire, i know Ruby etc are quite popular but Sapphire just seemed like it was someone trying to be different.

PS I have been known to call "boda boda" my DD nickname in the supermarket.
Not RTFT but if anyone overheard and was shocked I'd like to announce it is not on her birth certificate.

I shout "Dumpling" to DS2 in the supermarket. Not on his birth certificate. 😂

I referred to ds as 'Ichiban' at work once and one chap thought that was is real name for ages.

Rioja

TellyBellyJelly I wanted to call my son Willoughby but my husband vetoed it. I still love It though.

BTW it is the name of a character in The Importance Of being Ernest.

I had forgotten but there are twins at DS's school called 'Winner' and 'Talent'. Not the worst names but not ones I would have chosen. It is a lot to live up to.

Mungo. Have come across it twice. The families were both upper middle class so I can only imagine it's a family heritage name. What other reason is there to give a newborn such an old sounding name . .

One year whist at Bewilderwood and various other locations in Norfolk, I swear every other little girl was call Boo and every other little boy, Digory. Lovely names but the charm was lost by the end of the holiday ad they seem to be names chosen by those who practice performance parenting st the top of their voices. .

FWIW, we called our daughter a very uncommon ( but not stupid) name by today standards. The only other one i have come across was in Downton Abbey so maybe I shouldn't be so judgemental. .

Pilot inspektor, can’t remember what celebrity called their kid that but what the fuck?

Other than that I have no real hate for names apart from Alissa as a girl bullied me at school called that —fuck all alissas—

I know a man called Goodluck, he's always having to get his ID out to prove it's his real name bless him

I know a man called Goodluck

Get out of town!

Goodluck Jonathan?

Conception!

She was a girl in my college... official records mentioned ‘Miss Conception surname.’

Siblings Infinity and Hyland

More siblings Blaize, Flamecarmen, Fireniece and Ember-rose

Just had to google Goodluck Jonathan, that's embarassing but no not the one I was referring to!

Pilot inspektor is Jason lees son 😆

His buddy Kevin smith named his daughter HarleyQuinn.

I confess to liking Sylvester stalones kids name : sage moonblood. For a celeb name of course.
Or Sunday rose/dusty rose. Keith urban and Adam levines daughters

By far and the worse - neveah. I thought it was an urban myth. Nope. One in my youngest DC class. WHY?!

Dust I just had to google to check that Keith Urban and Adam Levine aren’t a couple then

The little boy next door is called Johnson. Poor mite.

By far and the worse - neveah. I thought it was an urban myth. Nope. One in my youngest DC class. WHY?!

When I was pregnant with DS, we didn’t know the sex, and (non-pregnant) SIL was round. She did a whole speech on “I don’t know if this is appropriate or not, and I’m so sorry if it’s not, but it’s been playing on my mind...I have a girl name in mind for if I have another baby and I wanted to check if you had it on your girl’s list first?”

I was dreading her saying it was gonna be Harriet, Violet or Clara (our girl names) and she came out with “Oh I hope it isn’t on your list...it’s Neveah-Rose”.

I actually forgot myself and laughed and did a bit of a sanctimonious “you needn’t worry on that front” in my defence I thought she was taking the piss.

Haha cherry

Honey
Chardonnay
Sapphire
Bobo
Yes people actually have these names

I know an Emerald Broach.

What's wrong with Diego? It's a very common Spanish name. I think it's similar to James in English.

Oh, I should have posted on this thread instead of starting my own.

Worst name: Chelci

I've met a Lenor and just thought of fabric conditioner. She was American though so maybe not a big brand there

Edgar Allan Poe probably helped to promote its popularity in "The Raven": "For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore". I think that's rather lovely.
