Its so hard not to laugh ...

[ToTiredToBeWitty]

From another site discussing the most unusual names, I found this gem:

I thought I picked unusual names for my kids lol
Riley (9), Logan (5), Kai (3) and Jorji-Mae (16weeks)
To be fair my eldest two are the only ones in their school
Some people go too far when picking names for their children xx

She calls her child Jorji-Mae and thinks some people go to far.

Well yes, Pot Kettle hun.

With trepidation I offer John Jack that I heard yesterday, two lovely names but together as one? Wouldnt that make it Jack Jack or John John?

Can't you keep your sneering over there.

Well, no. Mostly because I'm not sneering over there.

I believe this is a thread about a thread on Netmums.

MN does name snobbery well enough without bringing Netmums into it.

Gotham Delilah Ice
Thyotaizia
Blaze Victoria Tess
Pystol Alyzabeth Fierce
Storm Thunder Ulysses

Surely these can't be real names?!
Thyotaizia sounds like a nasty disease, why would someone do this to their child?

Well OP I suppose at least the mother of little Jorgi-mae knows the correct use of to vs. too ;)

I win because my daughter isn't called Jorgi-mae

Totiredtobewitty, transporting a thread from one forum to another with the specific intention to mock it, that has to be the trashiest thing I've seen online in a while. So well done, you win the shabby behaviour award.

A former pupil of mine was called Rimelle.
I struggled to keep a straight face, I always thought of rimming.

flips the bird at usual. See you on the drunk thread sucker

Shouldn't it be TooTiredToBeFunny? Or is that the funny bit?

Scabies the OP seems a serial offender, further on in the thread:

"I reserve the right to sneer when she writes thatother people go to far."

Thanks

Dear me.

Are your children called stupid names?

Is that why you are so offended?

Who? Mine?

I suppose that depends on your judgment.

Nah I've struck it lucky with a top 100 but not top 10 name. I'm pretty much a child naming God!

How is Jorji-Mae not more unusual compared to Hepzibah for example? Yes, the spelling is a bit strange, but it's a pretty name imho (and I love Riley and Kai) but ultimately they aren't, apart from Jorji-Mae, that weird or out there. I know a Kaemi-Lei but she doesn't have trouble with that and she likes her name and that's all that matters I guess.

Just this morning, I was thinking "Lark would be a lovely name." I used to read a blog written by a mother who named her DD Larkspur. She homeschools. I think if a parent homeschools, they can be more daring with their DCs names, as their peers would not get as much chance to laugh at their (birdie) names

No one laughs at Robin. My brother has a maid called Aquila, which means eagle I believe.

Yes, you are right, no one laughs at Robin. Even Wren I think would not be considered funny.

Tootired - i get you. And yes, MN has become insanely populated by pearl clutchers recently, does my head right in

Tootiredtobewitty it depends what you think is stupid. Maybe. Are you the judge?
