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...

Wasn't Mercedes (cars) named after one of the owner/engineers daughters?

I suppose maybe its more intent - rather picking a name by accident, so naming a chid after the car than a nice spanish name. There are probably loads of names that if you dig far enough you'll find they have lovely meanings or great heritage.

Like Peregrin (sp?) - I heard of one (with his sister Tiger). Nice name, odd name, show-off-there-won't-be-another-in-the-class-name, named after grandpa, or animal mad parents name?

My mother, of course, was heavily sedated with hallucinagenic drugs after having me, which explains my name.

Bacardi, yes really.

Billy The mother had been a true lentil weaving hippy in her younger days, she wanted her dcs to have 'free spirit' names.
She did realise that they might get teased once they started school so gave them middle names that she deemed reasonable.

I liked their names - the most unusual one I found was Mentish Mentish. That was his full name!

Think I heard a small boy being addressed as Sherlock today.

I've met a few Merlins. Not a bad name but...

I was reading a book about Horatio (! actually quite like that) Nelson today and apparently he was named after a relative his parents were fawning over.

BUT . . . one of his brothers was called SUCKLING ! Beat that. It was their mother's maiden name. Poor Suckling.

My Aunty is godmother to a BOY called... Mulberry!

Lucky - I will be peeling my ears here in janner town for denim and suade!!!!

No shit, MrsHelsBels

It was at soft play and I had to check the signing in book to be sure!

I used come across someone called Comfort Golightly through work from time to time. When I did meet Comfort - he was huge bloke! I wasn't expecting someone so masculine.

comfort golightly, fab name

Oh, ok. As you were!

i know a child called raining (not sure if spelt that way though) its a girl. mind you she also has a boy called raislin. weird !

I remember coming across a bouncing baby Ptolemy Ned in the Torygraph birth announcements Scottishmummy.

I know of a girl named Joop! Complete with exclamation mark (after the perfume)

I know of a little boy called Rainbow

I know a boy called Tiger

I do remember seing a Tuppence listed in the birth announcements. I find them very amusing as the most noteworth names are usually along the lines of 'Mary and David announce the birth of Scraggbagg Philpot, sister to Fartybag Windbottom'

My pet hate is names spelled in a unusual way to be different. I got a double whammy at work tonight. Slightly silly name: Peaches. Spelled: Peechez. Words fail.
