Worse name you EVER heard for a child

[xmasevebundle]

Today i went out and was doing shopping heard this name been called i thought it was a nickname, then the dad and nan said it to him, but fuck me i feel for the kid.

His name was DENIM.

I thought about this all day and it cant be...

quite like tallulah and bud as middle names, but my dd's middle name is felicity and people hate it! J is usually Jay - short for James and or jason not that unusual.

Mercedes is a beautiful girls' name...

pookey i had felicity on my list for dd. i love it but dp said no :(

Yes, was going to stick up for mercedes too, classic Spanish name!

Aramis is not just the name of an aftershave.

Sure it wasn't Leif?

Mercedes means mercies and is derived from Santa Maria de las Mercedes, just as Dolores is derived from Maria de los Dolores. It is a name originally related to devotion to Mary and quite a 'Catholic' thing.

omg what horrid examples! Still reeling from Libra! Angel Gabriel is a joke surely. and Hash: Hash! There is a little girl at a local primary school called Jezebel - how mean must her parents be!

My own name and my NN appear on here.

Bilbo. Chosen by his older sibling.
Braydon-Jae
Clover
McKaylah (spelled like that)

I work in recruitment and recently employed someone with the middle name Achilles.

I know of a little boy called Shogun. SIL friend named her daughter Disney and my Aunt had dealings with a girl named Snow White.

Am pretty sure I saw the name we've chosen for our soon to arrive son on this thread. Ah well, it won't change our mind.

There was a child on Big Fat Gypsy Weddings called Nangirl. Strange.

Achilles is a superb name.

well it doesnt deserve to be lumped in with Ellie Mae and Braydon Jae any more than the lovely Mercedes.

I once saw heavily pregant lady and overheard chatting to her friend about names she liked: One of the names was Danger for a boy and Ocean for a girl!

I don't know if you live/were in Plymouth by any chance, but I know of a little boy called Denim and his sister is called.....wait for it....

Suede

No, I'm not kidding!!!

Greville is the surname of the Earls of Warwick and quite a popular first name.

Jenny - " bunny love" was not misheard, it was written on a card - spelled 'Bunnie Love'.

I don't mind unusual names and spellings per se, but when they are just stupid, then that's another story.

Like someone I know whose children are all named 'short' versions of proper names. I don't want to say them because I might out myself, but lets just say that they're similar to these:
Milly (girl)
Chas (boy)
Bobby (boy)
Billy (boy)

Understand that yes, these are perfectly acceptable nicknames, but why not just call them Millicent (or Amelia), Charles, Robert and William? No, these have the sorts of names above, and THOSE get abbreviated - 'Mills, Bills..."

Savannah - I like
Ivy - I like
Tullula - I like

A lad a school was called Fraser Frazer because his Mum re-married. I always thought that was pretty harsh!

just remembered Shaunetta - seriously. anything with Etta has conotations of the Slobs.

xmasevebundle - I would think there would be quite a lot of girls with the name Mercedes in America. It is a very traditional Spanish name and there is a large Latino population.
Some people's ignorance about other cultures/languages is breathtaking.

However else it's used Melina is actually a legitimate Greek girls name and means 'honey' (same roots as Melissa) and was one of our short-listed names :P

We (okay, me backed up by FIL) considered Angel for DS2 - also a legitimate Greek name and nothing whatsoever to do with an intense love of Buffy, honest

Misspelt, try-hard names annoy me but each to their own. DD knows sisters called Pebbles and Bubbles, but I'm not sure if they are their actual names - never heard them called anything but that though. Once you're used to them they don't sound odd any more.

I went to school with girls named Shaunette, Claudette, and Jamesina - also boys called Mentish Mentish, and Daganaweda (Jones).

A woman I knew called her dcs Rainbow Rosie, Star Susan, Sunny Alan, and Poppy Cloud.

Claudette is just a version of Claudia

Ifind the most unusual of those names Tapir Sunny Alan!! Alan is a strangely conservative choice to match with Sunny. Although I suppose the same could be said for Susan with Star.

Wasn't there a footballer of formula one racer or maybe a jockey named Greville .. can't remember..

There are lots of Angels (boys) in the hispanic community in the US. And lots of Mercedes, yes.

KC !!- text speak names are on the rise!!
