Names that made you think wtf?

[CuppaTeaTeddy]

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?

I also used to work for a woman called Hazel Nutt who was married to P(aul) Nutt.

Awwww. Did they go on to have lots of little Nuts.

I know someone with the surname Goodwillie. Seriously dude, change your name, you don't have to endure the shame!

cuppa it was pronounced b'yew-mole-é, not Bumhole (We were told this a LOT!!)😂😂

Someone at a place where I worked was called Willie Wyper.

@NickMyLipple yes I'm sure it was pronounced that very way he told you! Fuck sake 😂😂😂

Next time posters say "oh, they won't get teased/bullied/laughed at for their name!" I will direct them to this mean spirited thread.

Once had a guest stay at the hotel I worked at called Fanny van Hamme. I read it as van hammee and couldn't go near the guest their whole stay for fear of breaking down in fits of laughter.

Il never forget watching the chase and hearing the name Fanny Chmelar. I'd never heard of her before that. It made me laugh too much.

I know a Randy Dick

I think Bradley's laugh made me laugh, more

Actually my boyfriend has a Swedish friend called Fanny Frisk. That's pretty funny too 😂

This thread reminded me of this guy

Superbeagle like potayogurt says the Archie comics have been around since the 40's, so before the other Alice Cooper used the name.

@NickMyLipple you've made me laugh too much today! Chill out 😂😂😂

Rachy and Ni58 my science teacher was Mr Hardon too! His first name was actually Richard as well

I have a few from students I taught over the years at an FE college.

We had a student who had a pretty but rather long African first name that she didn't use apart from on official documents followed by the names Queen Elizabeth and a double barrelled surname. She asked to be called Queenie.

We also had a Princess, whose parents initially planned to call her Amirah but on moving to the UK translated the name rather than transcribing it.

Shitall's parents apparently had discarded their first choice of name for her as relatives suggested it was too long and hard for English people to pronounce, so she might get teased about it at school. I can't imagine what name would have made that more likely than their eventual choice.

A girl I know is called Scarlett O'hara. There's also a kid at playgroup called diesel which makes me giggle.

I am also called Alice Cooper. It's ok, most people under 30 don't know who my more infamous namesake is anymore.

I went to school with a Ronnie Rennie.

I went to university with a girl by the surname Pratt (quite normal in the eastern part of England) who had children with a man called Wright. The children really are Wright- Pratts.

@Cineraria wow! Those weren't the best names for the English! I'm sure they god teased a bit with names like Queen Elizabeth and Shitall, haha.

I really wasn't expecting this many people to comment with funny names but it's really cheered me up and made my night. This is so funny.

I've noticed a lot of people know a Jo King too, I feel a bit left out!

Nothing to do with names but my cousins initials are BO and I lived with a lad at uni whose parents were called Mary and Joseph. Goes without saying he had an ego to match.

@AllTearsFlowFromLove oh god! I'm pregnant now and am making sure I spell out all initials for names I like/sound well together so I definitely don't get an unfortunate word.
Mary and Joseph? That's hilarious. I'd sort of be embarrassed if I was with someone and we had a pairing like that haha.

I knew a Jo King and also a wayne Kerr

I know a Tuesday. (Female)

I've recently learned about a friend of a friend and their new baby girl: Danger.

@Lemonjellymoonstar I'm all up for unpopular names but Tuesday and Danger? Surely they've crossed the mental line. This isn't normal 😂
