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?

SuperBeagle I’m afraid your excuse of being in Australia doesn’t add up as Mabel is on the most popular baby names list there.

So that leaves you with chavvy.

TashieWoo I love the name Magnus.

There again two of my children's names are in this list: Biblical or royal. Henry, James, John, Mark, Michael, Dianne, Margaret etc So what the fuck do I know? I was named something a bit wayout for which I was teased a lot, so I gave my kids traditional and unremarkable names. Just goes to show, whatever you name your child someone is going to find fault.

Others are Hartlie and Magnus for boys and London for a girl

Magnus is an absolutely wonderful name.

A friend of mine has daughters who both have the diminutives of the same name - Elizabeth. Does my head in.

I can’t work out how I feel about it, does anyone else have any opinions?

An acquaintance has called her son Jaxxon.
Jackson isn't to my taste but is a perfectly nice, normal name. Why butcher the spelling to something which doesn't actually say what you want it to say?!?

I actually quite like Beowulf. You could call him Wulfie for short :)

A friend of mine has just had a baby which they've called Dottie. Not short for anything... just Dottie.

Magnus is definitely a good name. Very strong and powerful sounding. It would suit a large majestic dog breed as well, such as a Great Dane. I couldn't call a poodle Magnus.

I'm not slating any particular names, as I also think it's rotten to see your children's names crop up in these threads. However, I'm not crazy about the trend of hyphenating two names, usually a two-syllable-then-one-syllable job.

The names that are popularly used are usually nice ones, but putting them together tends to reduce the appeal somehow.

There was Magnus Pyke and Magnus Magnusson. So that name can't be all that bad...can it?

I know of a girl called Naia, pronounced Nigh-a. Nothing wrong with that name in itself, it's quite pretty, but it makes me cringe as phonetically in my husband's language it means whore!

I once meet a (male) estate agent called Evol. It's 'Love' backwards... How nice. A shame it sounds like 'Evil'.

I also once knew a white guy called Aynsley. He used to lie about his name because he was so embarrassed.

To me, Magnus is a (slightly dorky) Scandinavian name that was popular in the 1960's. But I guess it's also used in other countries.

There are plenty of perfectly nice names on here, who gives a toss if some random doesn't like the name Michael? If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all

Also about ten years ago saw a boy in our then local paper called Burberry. His surname also began with a B. .

A girl called Antonio.

And there was a lad in my area growing up called Nike. I know it's a legitimate Greek name, but 1. it's a female given name and 2. I don't think his mum was particularly interested in greek mythology!

Jerusalem.
Ashton Kutcher
Shia Labouf

These are French names as I'm not in the UK:

Timéo, Matéo and Titouan.

Some people give their children cutesy kiddie names, forgetting that they'll have to live with those names as adults. Poor kids.

The worst name I've come across is user with a whole load of numbers after it. I mean why, just why?

I enjoy these threads but they could be upsetting for some I imagine.

My 3 have, many would say, boring names. All in the top 20 lists. But they are classic, don't require explanation or spelling and I like them! Also, so far, they are the only ones in their respective classes with those names.

Justique 😂 no way!!!

Chardonnay. Poor poor child.

I hate Dwayne, Shayne and Wayne too. And Shaun.

Soup

Magnus is an embarrassing name. It reminds me of ice cream (Magnum)

Early on in this thread I thought the tone was really about the most unusual/bizarre/weird name you'd come across -

Not just people saying which names they don't like. Doesn't take long does it.

Oh and my ds's name is normally always mentioned a few times.....

Whoever put Chardonnay on the list is ignorant. It's a very pretty name, a classic in the making.

Glumdalclitch & Boy-Boy Angel win hands down.
