Today I came across THE WORST baby girl name ever

[saidthespiderwithahorridsmile]

I don't normally bitch about names, but this one really took my breath away

this little girl is called...... Phalia

pronounced "failure"

[struck dumb]

I know a family who called their baby Cosmic. Poor little lad!

Angel-Cupcake is horrendous

I know a girl called tequila and have met a boy called beejay (childish snigger).

Agree that Phalia sounds penis related and is horrendous.

Oh, also knew a girl called cloudberry, she really suited it and it seemed like a usual name after a while.

I know a little girl called Porsche, don't like it at all !

Had a cashier today whose name badge said Sue T. Very unfortunate.

I am aware of a child called Ellesse Armani. :(

At the risk of outing myself I taught a Georgie, spelt Gorgie

lovesicecream, sure it's not Portia?

I don't think I'd have spotted the 'failure' similarity, it would fail-ya for failure and fay-lee-a for Phalia here I think, the l being in different syllables.

Yes I'm sure!

I say fale-yur so that wouldn't occur to me. I think it's pretty! :)

How about Thalia.
Or better still Talia.
Maybe they couldn't pron their Ts.

As for the others, Cloudberry is rather good tho'. I don't know any crazy named kids. No fair.

I know a Meadow...

I thought the registry people were supposed to stop this sort of thing happening??!

If they refuse to let people call their boys Jesus (which they do despite it being a perfectly valid and popular name in some cultures) then why would they let people use such cruel names?!!

The weirdest names I've come across seem tame in comparison (two little sisters: India Mouse and Willow Star) and were definitely names they wouldn't be teased for. I say if this is the alternative let's bring in big brother! Everyone would have to prove the name was a proper name before being allowed to use it- not a disney character, a place, a few words, or just something the parents thought sounded good. I'd even have every parent choose off a list to avoid some poor little half-portions ending up with some of these names!
