My friends Mum recently had a baby and couldn't think of a middle name for her newborn girl. The Mum has a teenage sister, so whilst walking to the birth registration place, she let her pick the middle name just so her daughter had one. Turned out to be a normal name but what a way to pick a name.

There was a boy in my year who's middle name(s) were Ryan Giggs.

Anyone else come across strange reasons/funny names that made you wonder why the parents would want to put there child through it? Grin

I think one of Bryan Adam'S kids is called Bunny.

He went down in my estimation when I read that tbh.

My husband is also a doctor who recently worked in paediatrics and came across some interesting names including 'Loki Slayer' 😱

My OH's great uncle is called Arthur King. I doubt everyone pronounces the 'Th'..!

So names don't have to hold you back!

Two kids used to come into my work place a lot called Plum and Bean (girl and boy - actual names).
I also went to school with kids called Red Red and James Bond.

There's a Scottish footballer with the surname Goodwillie but some fans call him Badwillie because he got in trouble with the law for something

@Talcott2007

Maybe you did mishear... Deekshita is a hindi girl's name. I am imagining some poor woman called Deekshita getting an email addressed to Dickshitter Shock

I lived in Malawi for a little while and the names there tend to be a mixture of traditional Malawian names, traditional western names and English words. A lot of these are lovely - like Gift and Happy - but Jealousy is quite a common girls' name and I also met a little girl called Lonely.
