Worst name you have ever come across.

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

I know someone who called their daughter “Selfie” to which I had to double check I hadn’t misheard.

I had a relative called Diogenes, which is .... unusual. He was always called Dodger as a nickname.

My friend knew of a child called Snuggles. Her siblings had ordinary names.

Nigel Mould.

Valentina is lovely.........

I seem to recall some comments when he was born that he should feel lucky his parents weren't in Peckham at the time of his conception

I don’t know… a family I went to school with had an older brother called James and a younger brother called Jamie.

Takeela (and lime).

Parents were fans of PG Wodehouse?

Dr De'ath

That sounds like another urban legend in the vein of La-a, tbh. I hope so, anyway!

I know of a ‘Storie’. Im not a fan personally. I can see some sort of reasonable for a little girl - but for a grown woman I just can’t imagine anyone taking them seriously..

No?!!

DH wanted to give DS a normal name but spelled with no vowels. I made sure I registered the birth!

In his defence we hadn’t picked a name pre-birth and we were both very sleep deprived post-birth. It took us almost 6 weeks to find one we both liked, the vowel-less one was born of desperation.

I had a cat called Busby...

There was a cardiothoracic surgeon at St Thomas’ in the 90s called Mr Death. Definitely pronounced “Deeth”, he became extremely upset if you accidentally called him Dr Death.

I met a Hassan who had a brother Hasan. Nearly commited a data breach with that one.

I have a relative called Anna which is unfortunate in Arabic as it's the word "I". Lots of misunderstanding around:

• How is Anna?
• I'm fine.
• No, Anna.
• Yes.

Or:

• What's her name?
• I
• No her,
• Yes, I.

I have heard of Twilight

Taught a Sonny. Absolutely lovely lad.

Mis-spelling of “Sylvie”? Or “Sylphide”? “Selkie”?

There’s apparently a character in Final Fantasy called “Selphie”, maybe parents were a fan.

Me too.
Not my point.

Keegan, in honour of Kevin Keegan. He’s early/mid 20’s now and goes by his middle name of Kieron, after Kieron Dyer. Dad was a big Newcastle United fan.

Princess, Junior, Jet & Bunny. 🙃 The mother has another child called Harvey, which was a fine name.

Of course there’s also Buddy Bear and Rocket River, their sister Petal has an alternative name but their other sisters have normal first names, pity about their middle names.

And let’s not forget Honey Kinney and Betty Kitten.

If the celebs can call their children shit names, then I guess it’s ok for us mere mortals to call our kids shit names too.

Child in my kids class is called Anfield after the football ground. That’s pretty bad

That has got me thinking.
