No. It’s literally heaven backwards and every parent who has a kid called this will tell
you

Sorry, I was trying to make a joke about how people mess up spelling Irish names and pronouncing them badly or randomly. Luckily I am not a professional joke teller.

At least he wasn't called Table all the time. He was an occasional Table.

I think I taught his cousin, who was either quite posh or French, Si deBoard. There was another cousin too, Kurt Enrail but I never met him, he was very withdrawn.

I was enrolling two young teenage girls for a group I was involved with, Siobhan and Ellie. They were amused because I only asked Ellie how her name was spelled.

There's a chap who called his daughter Lanesra. ( if you don't get it, spell it backwards).

Yes I saw this on Facebook somebody had badly mangled up the pronunciation of Siobhan and proudly announce but we call her bonnie ,just why ?
Just edited as realised I had also spelt it wrong!

Good enough for anybody with Spanish, Italian or Portuguese heritage.

Oh - I strongly apologise! Honestly didn't think of that.

She is not alone there are 8 other Shaides on findmypast

DH worked with a guy called Rod Stewart, which is fine as no one knew when he was born that he would have a famous namesake. I worked with a chap, whose parents, Mr and Mrs Hood, decided to call their son Robin. No excuse. His life at school must have been hell.

Plácido Domingo is a great name!

I had a fish as a kid that I called Car Park

I think it thought car parks were glamorous some how. Northampton grosvenor centre brutalist concrete in the 1980s was the highlight of the month for us bumpkins.

Some time after the Flood had subsided, Noah was given another boat building project by God.
The specifications initially seemed similar to the previous model but many more decks were required. And when it was finished, to Noah's surprise a small raincloud formed over it and filled it with water. Puzzled, he asked what he should do with it. 'Fill it with ornamental fish' commanded God. 'Er...ok...but why?'

'Isn't it obvious? It's high time this town had a decent multi-storey carp ark.'

I thought it was going to be Tiffany!

Guavafish1 · 30/08/2024 05:33

There lots of stupid names… just look at half the celebrities kids… Apple for example

'One of the worst is Romeo, fancy saddling a boy with that! Peaches, Bear, Honeybun, the list is endless. I can't understand why people use Paris, Jordan and other place names either.
