Worst name you have ever come across.

[Lemondrizzle4A]

Someone who loved Judge Dread was going to call child Dread. Thankfully was persuaded otherwise.

Binky (as in the MiC person) is a nickname though, her name is Alexandra, her parents called her Binky when she was a baby and it just stuck.

There was a lady in a nearby village named Zeppelina, because the night she was born a Zeppelin crashed into the local church. I always wondered if she went by Lina, but I met someone who had known her and they said she changed her name when she was older because she hated it so much (understandable). She was occasionally interviewed on various anniversaries of the crash and they always called her Zeppelina in the articles though.

Saint Mungo is the patron saint of Glasgow.

I've met a Blessing and a Honeybell this week

I thought that too.
I'd be muttering "Stay Gold" all the time around poor Pony !!

I know a little girl called Valentina. It suits her.

Mungo is Hugh Grant's middle name.

I knew an adult whose nickname was Pony. Apparently he was, quite literally, hung like a horse. I never saw this in the flesh, so to speak, but had it on good authority that he was. The really strange thing was everyone called him Pony and no one thought it odd!

My Grampy had a similar nickname that was given as a baby and stuck for all his 92 years.
Everyone called him by that name but everyone also knew it wasn't his actual name !

Travis
Beverley
Rigsby

all real children

I actually think Ernest is adorable!

Was Blessing Nigerian?

I was going to be called Wilhelmina.
DH pushed hard for trinity. We watched the matrix when I was pregnant and he's catholic

2 of those are perfectly normal names.
1 is more likely to be a surname but sort of works as a first name.

Those sound like my little pony names- Angelfaith and Silvercup

They may be 2 ordinary names but they're foul. The third one I guess you'd have to be a certain age to get it.

Shitdik

Also think Wilhelmina is quite fabulous. Not one I would use but I'd love it on someone else.

My son's name is a bit Marmite because it's not English, but it's beautiful, beautiful meaning, traditional and family name. Suits him perfectly.

Some of my more out there choices that we didn't use are Basil and Octavia.

Lionel would be the name if we had another one.

What's "foul" about them?
They clearly aren't to your taste but they're just names.
I have no idea of your reference to people of a certain age getting it. I have no clue what "it" is.

Diana Ross called one of her kids Chudney.

@ridl14 my imaginary twins are Sebastian and Octavia 😁
I have no idea why.

Travis is very common as a male first name among a certain age group in Canada. I know two, both men in their thirties. Chad was obviously trendy here a decade earlier, I know three, all men in their forties.

Beau for a girl probably bothers me more then it should.

Thank fuck I didn't have a teen pregnancy as I planned to call any baby I had either Heaven, Angel or (this one is the worst/best) Juanita Isabella Venus-Maria but Jazz for short. Brucey bonus to anyone who can get the trashy novel authors connections...

And for anyone wondering, I didn't consider the possibility of having a boy. Only girls allowed.

Beverley. I just hate that name. Her second name is Alison, but I don't want to hurt her feelings by asking if I can use Alison instead.
