Worst name you have ever come across.

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

I think that was the general feeling. He is a gregarious bloke so probably enjoys the notoriety.

We're very traditional and patriotic in our tastes. Our twins, Kent and Devon, have always said how much they love their names; but for some reason, their little sister Eastridingofyorkshire (nn Dingo) constantly moans about hers.

It's like Candida, which is thrush!

Unwanted/ unloved.

Some poor children in some African countries end up with names like this.

This. I've taught several boys called Atilla.

Going by the current series of Call the Midwife there's a whole load of 50 year olds in Hong Kong with English names like Christopher and Beryl.
I wonder if it's considered odd to the younger generation.

was at school with a Caramel.....

🤣🤣🤣 OK you win.

Worked with a little Liaison once

Not quite but I am aware of a child named after one of Jupiter’s moons. Lo

There was a thread on here once where somebody in the OP's family wanted to call their baby Genghis.

There was also another one where OP's DH was desperate to call their new DS Vercingetorix.

I think some of these names are lovely, like Orianna, Valentine and Valentina.

Please let it have been Waitrose….

That's Io. Not Lo!

I've met a Genghis, he was Turkish.

Holy crap! I can only imagine that being on a 'new baby high' makes some names sound attractive!

So des mine. Chavvy, naughty boy name, allegedly. He's neither chavvy nor naughty, and the name is a classic. Ah, well. He likes it and he loathes the alternative we were considering.

There is a little corner of Europe where this man is still popular...

I interviewed a man called Bigboy. I'll make no further comment.

Diesel. Little girl. Unbelievable but true.

🤣

I actually came across a Candida today.

It probably makes a big difference depending on where you're from/your heritage!

I genuinely love the name Kermit - which is also quite common in Turkey - but you really couldn't use it in the UK, as people will only ever think of the frog!

I once knew a man whose sons were called Augustus and BJ, poor boys. I can't see why anyone would call their child Binky or Muffy, they sound like childish nicknames. I think there was a Binky on TOWIE or some show like that.
My cousin (boy) is called Joscelin, my aunt was deeply upset that the family reaction to the name was mostly wtf? and my husband is taking bets on how long it will take him to ask to be called Alex, his middle name is Alexander.

Yes, I think I've heard of Kermit as a name, but to me, it's the frog!
