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...

Whe my sister had her oldest DD, the cot had Baby QODSDSSURNAME Keiland on it

The lady opposite had Baby Keiland LADYOPPOSITESSURNAME

She thought my sister had called her DD Keiland and loved the name .... It's the forceps used to yank her out

Another gem from the birthday cards on CBeebies - Coby. (pronounced Koh-bie). Horrible.

Kobe - As in the city in Japan? Not a pretty name.

Spelled Coby but yes, essentially the same.

I heard about a 7 year old girl in nz who put herself in care because she could no longer cope with having a crap name and wanted to change it without parental meddling. Her parents called her tuladoesthehulainhawai

Not sure what she changed it to

I know quite a few Coby's. Robin on How I Met Your Mother is named Cobie in RL but I think it's short for Jacoba.

Colby & Pirate! eeekkk

Ohhhh I never thought of coby as a diminutive.

Pirate?

I think blakely, chanelle's baby is pretty bad

yup I know a little boy called pirate

Why do your friends call you pirate?
Because a arrrrrrr

Almost works as a joke!

So random! There's an idea for a name......

totally random and a tad mean?

When I was pregnant we told lots of people we liked the names 'Phoneix Humbucker' and 'Murgatroyd'... everyone made encouraging noises at them too!

Sisters called Desiree and Dakota - hmmmm......

Not read thread yet but the worse one I heard was for a girl and was Highbury.

Highbury?! Did she have a younger sibling called Emirate?

[Arsenal references, for anyone confused]

I know an Arthur Shilling.

:D at "Ribena"
Worst one I ever heard was pronounced "Duhkeeny", spelt... DKNY!!

Melaena - passage of black tarry stool (usually due to GI haemorrhage)
Candida- basically, thrush
Chlamydia - STI
These are not pretty names! And I realise that not everyone is aware of their meaning but the NHS employs a fair amount of people.
Apart from that I think that names are what you make them - how many times are you put off a name just because it reminds of some snotty kid you were at school with!
And as for judges etc - a name can't stop you doing anything! I'm sure that in the past only upper class people could afford further education etc and as these people tended to be called Charles or Albert or William (and so on...) then judges had those names. Now it is easier (but still not easy) for anyone to go to university and train to be whatever they want so we will have judges/accountants/doctors etc called all sorts.
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!"
But love hearing some of these names. I have a boring name and as a child dreamed of having been adopted and having a ridiculously exotic birth name...

OK.

I never associated melaena with the name Melina-which I really like.

Porphyria.

Probably off topic, but any American series that has supposedly British people who are white and posh and have the first name Devon. It just doesn't happen.

Isn't that the disease that turns your wee blue

Walked past an American mum this morning shouting after her bolting toddler girl: 'London, London'!

Is that because it's dead romantic and exotic everything, like Paris? Or just that she was conceived there?

All it did for me was make me think of really unexciting bits you wouldn't want to be called after. Like Walthamstow, or Crouch End.

Yes, OhBugger, imagine if they'd travelled to (and conceived) in Essex -
"Vange" and "Pitsea" are such nice names for twins! :)
