Made up names?

[Iamnotsureaboutthisone]

After lurking on the current baby name threads, I was reminded of this this morning. DH met a colleague last week who was talking about his baby daughter.

Colleague is called Richard
His wife is called Michelle

Their new baby - Richelle

It is made up isn't it?

[broguemum]

Um... My dad convinced his little brother that his middle name was Lino not Leo. Apparently dear uncle's school books / reports etc all ended up with Lino as his middle name...

All this combining parent names has convinced me... I'm definitely calling the next child Lick now.

[chrissnow]

based on parent name combining - our next one would be called Melon or Hat!

[Tommy]

I knew of a couple who did this and their daughter was called Jowayne

i think crazy baby names getting trend
not surprised at marby and richelle, as there are some jaw dropping ones on that american website

[yetanothername]

Marby was an American.

My American MiL has a man's name with an "a" added onto the end.

[Mumblesmummy]

sparky- bork cracked me up.

When i was little, the girl next door was called Rochelle... so maybe that's where they got that hideous combination??

[Hulababy]

Richelle seems like a well known name in the US then.

[Hulababy]

I went to school with a Rochelle actually, which no one saw as being unusual.

[Jojay]

Richenda is a proper name. Female version of Richard

[MrsJohnCusack]

my relative here has a sone with the middle name 'Danger'

His first name is 'Zane'

ROFL at Danger
