We named our baby a marmite name

[PineappleBrazilNutsandMaccasFries]

And I bloody love the horrified reactions more than the delighted ones:

What???
Oh my god that's a mouthful isn't it?
Is that a name? Oh, I'd call him 'xxx'

It's not even that out there, I think people are just rude, but it cracks me up

Is it Gillygillyossenfefferkatzenellenbogenbythesea?

That's not actually as rare as you might think, these days - there are 9 of them in my DS's class.

Is it Father Hank Tree. Father Hiroshima Twinkie. Father Stig Bubblecard. Father Johnny Helzapoppin. Father Luke Duke. Father Billy Furley. Father Chewy Louie. Father John Hoop. Father Harry Cakelinem. Father Rabulah Conundrum. Father Pee-wee Stairmaster. Father Tri-Peglips. Father Jemimah Ractoole. Father Jerry Twig. Father Spodo Komodo. Father Canabramalamer. Father Todd Unctious

Bag o’ shite perhaps?

We named our yooneek child 'Etimram' - it's.... well, I'll leave you to work it out!

Angelbrat?

Has all the must-haves:

• super, super clever and cute *unisex *Engelbert misspelled

I usually rant on here that people are rude or mean in replies but seriously, what’s the point of this post? Making a mere statement, with no question. No real area for discussion because she’s not telling us the name. Attention seeking at its finest. More annoyed with myself for bothering to reply.

IME people try really hard to not be rude about children's names. I have a friend who picked a marmite name, people are always polite.
The names be bonkers if people are outright rude, or can't hide their confusion. It may be funny for you, but I wonder how your young child will feel carrying around that moniker for their life.

I also name my daughter a name that makes anyone over the age of 50 clutch their pearls and gasp in disgust.

it’s a beautiful name but has negative stigma attached too it unfortunately

Such an attention seeking thread when you have no intention of even revealing the name. How tedious.

🙄

I’m Welsh and haven’t heard of most! Seren of course I have, one of my favourite welsh names. I have a Dylan, one of the most common (if not THE most common) Welsh name

When I read the first common I immediately knew the OP wouldn’t reveal the name and try and argue the name is irrelevant. Agree pointless point - probably bored on a Sunday evening

Johnny Cash nailed it with 'A Boy Named Sue'.

This. Or post it on Facebook you'll have lots of take no notice hun comments to make you feel better. Loads of attention

Is it Myra?

I knew a Jaiymz once. Why give your kid such a vanilla (but solid) name like James, but just for an added twist, saddle him with having to spell it out for the rest of his life?
People called James should not have to say “It’s James, but with an I, also, a Y and a Z but no E.”

Princess Consuela Bananahammock?

Adorable little Bea Vitamin-Complex.

You love the horrified reactions but will your kids love them all their life? The strange thing is that people who give their kids these names always have really boring names themselves and think it makes them more interesting to give their kids marmite names. It doesn't.

You love the horrified reactions but are afraid to post it on mumsnet lol.
No ones going to know who your kid is from a name, you're not that important.
Pointless, attention seeking thread.
Also I voted YABU. 😆

ardderchog! hyfryd!

Twiglet was on my shortlist for DD, but DP vetoed it

That's a shame, I like that one

Might want to look at yourself
