AWFUL NAMES TO CALL YOU CHILD...

Justine888 · 29/01/2008 16:24

I dont think there's anything people get more worked up over something that is none of their business than what someone has or wants to call their child.
With this in mind, I thought it might be fun for people to nominate some really bad names they've heard friends or relatives have given to these poor little children.... Whats the worst you've ever heard?
Who knows... this page might be inspiration for some pregnant ladies out there!
Have fun!

I think calling a child popcorn was asking for trouble! (innocent smile emoticon)

cunt

no seriously friend of mine heard a woman say to her little daughter (about 6) when said daughter was trying on a coat

"So, do you think you look good in that, or do you look like a cunt?"

I liked Titus...until someone pointed out what it sounded like, as I was in a romantic haxe and thinking historically.

I do know of a girl called 'Disney' though. I liked it when I was younger but not now.

Dizzy would be better
