On the bus once and a woman called her daughter laramie to press the button. My son looked at me and whispered isn't that a cigarette

Worst name I heard shouted in a playground recently was "Boniface" for a boy aged about 4.
I desperately wanted to name DC, if a boy, "Blue/ Blu" Blush

Frontpaw I thought David Bowie's son Zowie changed his name to Duncan.

I guess he might get picked on for Boniface, but he's quite a big saint in many parts. One of our local churches is dedicated to Saint Boniface.

Pokey in a glaswegian accent. love it.

Ummm 'poke' in glasgow has a specific meaning...

I know a girl called Tequila and her sisters are called Destiny and Mercedes.

On CBeebies birthday time there once was a card for a girl called Bunny-Love I do hope someone sent it in as a joke but I've always wondered you never know these days!

Nancy-Indigo

Both lovely names on their own, but together?

I teach a boy called Zen which is ok except he really is the most over-excitable, hyper little boy.

Hannah-Montana. I kid you not. Double-barrelled as a first name.

Hmm
MrsApplepants · 30/08/2012 12:46

Little girl called Peanut. Seriously. Not a nickname.

Ha xmasevesbundle I came on this thread to say 'denim' how odd.

Are you in Scotland?

holeinone · 30/08/2012 12:52

Michael and his sister Sarah are absolutely awful names IMHO

Flamingo, Bono

I just cringe every time I hear Melena (spelt lots of ways).
I'm a nurse. That is medical term I use daily at work to describe foul smelling, black, tarry faeces (from part digested blood in digestive system). It's just NOT right to call a child that.

nipersvest · 30/08/2012 12:55

i also know of an aqua (wonders if it's the same one!)

once heard a woman shout for her daughter called 'dream' in river island changing rooms

i remember someone's dad being called Corky. his dd seemed to think that was his real name.

shockers · 30/08/2012 13:08

Years ago a lady proudly introduced her daughter to me as Chantellamy. I must have looked a bit bemused as she went on to explain that she couldn't decide between Chantelle and Amy, so she went for both.

That child will be in her late 20's now, I wonder if she still goes by her full title....

I knew a girl who named her daughter Ray, which should be lovely (sunlight), but it reminds me of men in their 60's.
