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...

Lanesra... ok, so it was a middle name - Dad was an Arsenal fan.

Jordanna.

I know several kids (some teens now) with unusual names that at first I have gone WTF, but now I don't really notice.

Chad
Ace
Horatio
twins called Summer and Storm, both nice names, but together?
A girl called Ryan

I'm not keen on old fashioned names such as Elsie or Mabel or old mens names with 'ie' added on the end such as:

Alfie, Reggie, Ronnie, Lennie

I really dislike alternative spellings, if you want to call your child Tequila, then fine, but at least know how it's spelled.

When I worked in the USA I was served by a lady with the name badge Tiasia.
I puzzled for ages on how to pronounce it & in the end I asked.

Tie-Asia she replied looking at me like I was a nutter.

Taking away the fact it's Arsenal spelt backwards for a moment, I'm not sure if I think Lanestra is quite pretty or sounds like a contraceptive pill.

DH was nearly a Chad but ended up with a very average, common name thanks to MIL's intervention!

Tequila

5yr old child at school, how did they think this was ok?

I really cringe at

Levi

Rocco

sorry

Friend's new neice is Ebony. Child is milk white. Am I the only one to find this odd?

Triplets Costa, Della and Sol
Darth!
Charisma

A niece, even.
Another friend has a niece called Beau. As a French teacher, I just had to bite my tongue.

Jedi. A beautiful baby girl too.

Bluesuedestilletto, are you in west yorks? I know of an mj too.

Can we please acknowledge that Levi is a Biblical name and long pre-dates the jeans brand?

I'm very tempted by Lanesra

Someone I used to work with has a daughter called Elland. After the Leeds United ground.

At a baby group I attended there were a few names that made me
Bird
Zuzu
Blaze
They are all girls names.

Olivia.

Brother is a 48 year old Denholm, pronounced Denim, it is my mothers maiden name (he is also a top research scientist)

His twin has a name with a 'different' spelling of a fairly common name for its day, he is now a Police Inspector

Neither name stopped them being successful.

And my DD's name has come up on here. With a ALTERNATE spelling.

Each to their own.

Florence and Harriet make me cringe.

I know a boy called Leaf...I'm pretty sure when he hits his teens he'll start calling himself Lee! Poor kid.

Duly acknowledged, Crabb.

I know a sister and brother called meadow and arry

My sister taught an Alora. My Italian tutor was amused. I can't think if it not being said in a heavy sigh A-Lo-raaaaaaahhhhh

You see some, by no means all, of these names sound just fine to me.

Show's we're all different

Boris isn't is real name though is it

Isn't it Alex?!!!
