*Judgementalness alert* Worst DC/sibling names you've ever heard.

[DancesWithWoolsEnPointe]

I know someone whose daughter and son are called Paris and Troy. Really! Aside from being utter rubbish, I mean, if we are going with mythology Paris is a boy not a girl, and Troy is a place not a person! Its Paris and Hector surely? Or Troy and Mesopotamia?

So can you top that? Go on, I could do with a laugh.

That's exactly what I said blitzen!

When I was small there was a family at school whose children were called Charles, Amelia, Verity and Harriet and they adopted a little boy called Wayne

I am bringing up DD to be a prostitute or maybe a stripper if I'm lucky.

The things you learn on mumsnet.

Ariel it might sound odd with the sibset but many people don't like changing an adopted child's name to fit with other siblings because it is a part of their identity.

It's not like they choose to call him Wayne?

Yes I know all that....you don't need to go all pursed lips on me.

Is "sibset" a word?

I wonder how many little Waynes there are now. It was very much a name of the early to mid 70s.

Ariel sorry I didn't meant to sound purse lipped about it...was just saying that might be why he was Wayne when the others were Amelia etc

Not sure about sibsets dictionary credentials in all honesty

I haven't met a Wayne my age or younger ever. Though I do know a Sharon my age.

I always wanted 2 boys. We agreed the first one's mn would be Mark, after his Daddy & the second one would get John, this being both grandfathers mns. I wanted to call them Matthew & Luke. Mean DH overruled me!

I've heard that there are at least 3 sisters with car names locally - Mercedes, Ferrari & Bentley I believe... The story is that they're named after the cars their dad would like but can't afford! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it from several people independently. I believe there's also a Satan around!

:)

I had one Wayne in my class in Infants (I'm probably older than you, to be fair), and two Sharons and several Traceys.

I remembered the 5th quintuplet name: Christa, Charla, Chanda, Charles and... Chelsea!

There's a pagan in east London, about six years old.

LMAO at Tetris and Pacman!

Mercedes started out as a Spanish name meaning mercy. That is what the car was named after iirc...

I have met a woman, via work, who called her daughter (not sure why I had to explain, as this is very obviously a girls name) Sambucca...really!

Sorry I don't have a sibling to go with Sambucca but maybe Ouzo is in the planning stages?

I have heard of Armani's, Pocahontas and knew two boys, when I was younger, one named Kenneth McKenna the other Kenny Kenny.

twin girls- Armani and Cavalli

sisters- London and Sydney

I once knew twin girls with the middle names Scania and Volvo. Their dad was into lorry cab racing. They did have very unremarkable first names to set off their middle names though.

A thoroughly horrible woman i once worked with had named her twin girls Daisy and Clover.

DAISY AND CLOVER!!!!! hahaha, i nearly fell off my chair laughing. Both a reasonable names on their own, but together, they mean one thing: COWS.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer woman.

Or wild flowers.

2brothers,not twins, both called alan and they had a sister called alana!!!! And guess what their dad and grandad were both called alan, not joking!!!!

Crapbag, not in Portsmouth are you?

Misty and Beaujolais. In Essex, obviously.

Oh, I also knew a girl over 20 years ago called Asti Martin. No sibling but thought she deserved a mention for her parents' erm special choice

Jenna and Taylor. Say them together.

My mother used to work with a Richard Pritchard

I haven't read all of these but in my own situation just to highlight not all is as it seems at times.
When dd was born ds decided that the name Princess Rainbow was much prettier than what we wanted to call her and she has often been refered to as Rainbow, Rain, Bow, and Princess ever since. DS has a name which doesn't traditionally get shortened to Ice or Icy but we do for some reason.

So there I was happily going about my business and I called the children over and for no reason that I can really think of I called "Rainbow, Ice come on time to go" Nekminnit little old lady toddles past "Bloody Hippys"!!!! says she.

We lived near four brothers, Fraser, fergus, Fulton & Finlay. All fine names, but my dad used to call them the F-ing Smiths
