Worst name you have ever come across.

[Lemondrizzle4A]

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

When pregnant, I was tempted to call the baby Atticus if a boy (luckily had a girl)
Went to school with a Robin Hood
A friends cousin is Geronimo

What about twins? Pancake and Shrove, both with Tuesday as their second name.

No, actually Pancake's second name could be Day.

Baby "Cornelious" 😬

I get random baby announcements popping up on instagram all the time, mostly American. I had one last week with a baby girl called Local and another called Stone, my friend sent me one called Skipper earlier.

My cousin’s initials are VD and her mother’s were STD.

I know of a child called Galahad - absolutely lovely family, not pretentious or chavvy, just an unusual choice of names/

Meghan?

Was at Uni with a guy called Mark.
His birth name was Meriadoc.
His parents were full on 'knit your own yoghurt' hippy types.
He was not.

Does he have Dutch ancestry? It's quite a common name in the Netherlands.

Valentina is a beautiful Italian name!

In person - Consolation.

In records - Oretha is up there, though (looking primarily at US records) the vast number that tool wholesale names of 'admirable' leaders who were really horrible always makes me uncomfortable.

There is a boy in DC's class called Dolton with an older brother called Dylon (definitely pronounced Dylon not Dylan).

I taught a student many years ago called Roses and I used to work with a lovely gent called Cad, he swore it was short for Cadbury but it was Cadnacious (might be mis-spelt but similar sounding).

Oh and my ex taught a Lambretta who was known as Lammy

There’s a pharmacist locally whose name is Blessing.

No

A dd had a friend whose parents saw fit to name her Polly Esther Cotton.

It's the I'll thought through combinations.

I went to school with a Joanne King. Can't even shorten to Jo as it's still a comedy name.

Both fine individually but not together (and not if your accent is slightly Scouse)

disagree about the middle names being a pity - if ever there was an opportunity to let your imagination go wild, it is the middle name. Hidden in full view as it were!!

We should celebrate the best middle names

No, have never even heard of Amabel as a name. More on the lines of Hettie and Hattie. Both heard of names and neither amusing.

Neveah was very popular a few years ago. ( Heaven spelled backwards) It just reminded me of Nivea moisturising cream.

I met someone called Nivea years ago, very odd!

Not so much hideous as odd. There was a child at my youngest dds nursery many years ago and he was called Box. Not a nickname. I kid you not.

Yeah mine. Posting before reading the thread but I predict it will be on here. But I won’t share it because it’s outing. I’ve never seen it mentioned positively. Regularly see it on baby name threads as a terrible choice when someone is asking for older names. I was bullied horrendously for it and because of that I would never mock someone else’s name

Yup. Just seen my name mentioned 🙄

It maybe a beautiful Hispanic name meaning mane or a person's long hair but in the UK where I am and where MN is based it means tarry, black (ie bloody) stool. Hence it's not a great thing to be called imo.

I know one of those! The puzzlement is real .
