AWFUL NAMES TO CALL YOU CHILD...

[Justine888]

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 knew a Mistique, a Shania and a Shakira all in the same class. Further up in the school was a Galaxy.

My friend Ruth Booth's parents hadn't given it too much thought....

I'm sure I've heard of some Shiraz's being an alternative to Chardonnay (less common, innit)

pmsl. I have tears running down my cheeks, I'm going to wake ds up if I don't stop reading this thread! I had spanish classes with John Kerr and we rolled around laughing when we had to use spanish translations of our name especially when the teacher called the register Juan Kerr. (pronounced WAN).
This thread is fab!!

Boy...........I kid you not. I thougha mistake had been made on the register but no....they called him Boy.

My (very serious/no nonsense) Grandad used to go to the local club once a week to meet his mate Mike Hunt me and my sister used to nearly wet ourselves when he left for the evening.

Richard Richardson, Matthew Matthews and Trafford Parks. Cherish( she was really rough and poorly behaved.)

This thread is getting to the Robyn Banks and Nora Tittoff stage now - but it is very funny. I love the Mike Hunt one - I am so naive I had to read it about 3 times!

I'm not sure if these are awful, but certainly unusual. I have heard of a Hugh Dunnett, April Foulger and Lavender Basket. I also have a friend called Pearl who has a twin brother called Dean.

In my family there is a boy called Atom, also (in another branch of my family) a Kobi and a Taz, and (from the part that married into a family with native American origins) a Rae-shelle Rita Morningstar. I don't think these are necessarily awful, but it is interesting to have some unusual names in the family.

captainmummy There was a documentary on a few years ago about a family (mum called Anne-Marie and dad Roddy) who had children (son called Roddy and daughter called - well you guess.) I have a ds2 whose 1st name starts with the same letter as his dads, and we get confused with the post now (ds2 is 10). what would it be like if everyone in the house had the same name

I know someone called Alex Avery. His mum, dad and both his brother and sister have names beginning with A. How confusing

My 2 sisters and I all have names starting with the same letter. Fortunately we all have different middle initials.

DP works with a Super Jolly (female) - and I'm not joking!

My Mum actually taught someone called Genna Taylor. (Runs away fast in case Genna's Mum is a Mnetter.........)

Our ski-ing instructor was called Rob Banks - oh how we laughed.

DH used to have a colleague in America called Enis Peters (imagine stumbling over it in a spoonerism fashion).

I think Dalek is probably an unwise name for a child.

My friend had a little boy last night and she was going to call him Oak. But she has settled for it being his middle name as her dp hated it. I cant wait to see him!!!

Dick Wilt (some is really named that)

Thorne Wilde

Female (pronounced fe-malie). The mum saw the word female on the newborns incubator and went with it.

Oh I knew a man named King Castle.

He married a Candance so they were Mr. and Mrs. King and Candy Castle.

My brother is convinced he went to school with a Wellington Boot
I'm not so sure

i was at uni with a Charles Peter Cock...seepy for short....
