Worst name you have ever come across.

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

That's crazy - and my daughter, Bungalow, agrees with me!

Candida

I knew a girl at uni called Bonita (which I think means beautiful in spanish) and she wasnt, also had the most obnoxious personality.
Heard a mum in a chip shop giving off to her child Meadow

Made think of the BT cartoon bird

Sorry but why?
What am I missing?

Because the nickname started as a child and everyone knew him as Pony.

One of the girls I think from Geordie shore has a Kixi - I believe pronounced Kick-see

Bacterial vaginosis?

I saw a lad working in Primark the other day - named Rolex.

Are you my child? That's what my parents were going to do!

Try working on a postnatal ward - all sorts of daftness going on there but you learn to ignore it. Lots of made up names for girls, often ending in -isha, lots of random accents that were intended to be purely decorative as the parent(s) had no idea they could change the pronunciation, a father called King, various mothers (of the babies) called Princess, I remember mothers called India and Burma in neighbouring beds. Babies called Ernest, Roy and Kevin (in the 2000s).

I think it was the News of the World which had the strapline 'All human life is here' and so it was on that ward.

My own name is incredibly boring 1950/1960s English and I've always wanted a fancier one. Bit late now.

Oh.
I can't imagine many people would make that link 🤷

You got there first.
Agree with Adolf and Myra although other wicked people haven't had names similarly boycotted.

I used to have a copy of a passport office internal document explaining how to handle situations where a person's name has a digit in it. Like the songwriter Tom Lehrer's character Henry, spelt H3nry, only not a joke.

Irn bru advert🤣😁

Pony as a nickname is quite fun.

He could be a great doctor (with a limp) one day. 😂

BV is a vaginal infection which causes symptoms including an unpleasant odour.

I was in a supermarket the other day, and the woman in front of me had a boy around 4-5 years old with her. She addressed him as D'Artagnan (as in The Three Musketeers) ... I wondered how she spelled it.

Brooklyn Beckham is apparently named after where he was conceived, so...

Princess

Dogtanian I hope 😁

@Rightsraptor when ds was born 31 years ago, our first choice was Hugo. The midwife cracked up and ridiculed it. She was uncredibly rude and put us off a name which is normal for our demographic. I hope you have never been as rude. I can still hear her laughing and saying "you can't call the baby that".

As you have generalised about new parents, presumably you won't mind me generalising about rude midwives who chat shit, don't losten and minimise pain.

Nah, probably not.
I'm a nurse, so I have a giggle at lots of initials and letter combos, but I know that it's usually just health professionals that do this! 😆
It's especially fun when you see a bad driver on the road, and then when you check their number plate, you realise it's an acronym for a disease, so you call them that (from the safety of your own car)... eg... "watch where you're going cytomegalovirus!!" 🤣

I would not put it past that being the reason she was called Trinity, the nightclub was rough!
