Knew you'd appreciate this...

My cousin linked me to this, and I immediately thought of the MN Babynames forum!

Here ya go.

Hurtle

LOL

Superb!

I'm very very cross. There's nothing wrong with Caughtneigh. My DD is a Caughtneigh, I'll have you know. How dare they mock?

Caughtneigh

Fantastic!

Xal (pronounced Crystal)?

Love Hurtle

Wish I could take some credit for it.

Thank GOD DD's name isn't on there ..... well it is, but with stupid spelling

Beeanchor is my fave

DD's name is on there. She has a normal name.

Some of the other names on there are just ordinary names too. Maybe from other cultures but not worthy of mocking.

Yeah, there are some normal names, but I chose to ignore those over the ridiculous ones.

Shadeaux is genius, I wonder if it's too late to change my DD's name? (She's only 5)

I knew I should have called DS2 Dan-Yel

Kuda force (quite funny. sense of humour).

Were Australian children really given these names? or are people just saying 'wouldn't it be funny to be called Boodickah. and so on.

Banjo Rocket is fab.

I like Elodie, Mirabel and Rafaelle from that list. I can't work out what's bad about Abbey tbh! Abbey is a normal enough spelling.

Also Stealth Wolf. What's wrong with STealth Wolf?

My wee girl is called Nyah.

It's on the list.

I love her name.

So "ner"!

Loving Maffew and Antwonet.

It is funny. And some of them did make me chuckle. But it did hurt to see dd's name on there. Thankfully though, there are several on there that are just normal names, hundreds of years old, yes maybe from a different culture but not worthy of being lumped in with Antwonet.

Mathilda
Mirabel
Orianna
Jorja
Abbey
Asiah
Jotham
Peyton
Tallulah

I know or have known people with the above names which are all listed on that site. All fine. Not bogan at all. Jotham for example is biblical, Abbey and Mathilda are older and alternative spellings of common names, Asiah is Turkish etc etc.

Dimple and Awesome sound like brilliant names for twins though.

I've never heard of 'Nyah' before. Is it a variation of Nia? Nyah is Japanese for meow iirc (dh likes Japanese anime).

Little Yellow Teapot: Think of it as Cross-tal.

Antwonet - hilarious, ditto - Berlinder
Koopa

I do agree that there are some perfectly normal names on there.

There are some lovely names on it too.

But preserve us from some of them. Do you think the kids would change their names once they realise?

Some hysterical ones on there, but as has been said, some perfectly nice ones too!

I know one Nyah, I wouldn't have thought it strange or funny. Is Bogan like our Chav or Redneck? just a little guess

Yes the chav equivalent. BIL is getting married to an Australian in May and they explained bogan to me the other day.
