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?

DP has threatened that if we ever have kids (highly unlikely) he will lobby for Florentia, Aloysius and Jiminy.

I've said if I have twin boys they will be called Brixton and Peckham, after two places I've lived and been very happy. Brix and Peck for short.

K2 and Truly Scrumptious.
Both from the births columns of the local newspaper I worked at in the 1990s.
I think there was a story about K2 in the paper too - apparently you are not allowed to call your child a number in the UK or something like that?

gonnabreakmyrustycage Another pumpkins fan > waves. I also considered that name for DD but DH didn't like it. I'm glad I didn't now as it's became quite popular where I live.
