Worst name you have ever come across.

[Lemondrizzle4A]

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

It seems that person was referring to a vaginal infection 🤷

Sorry if I offend anyone with this, but I loathe -

Brontë.

As in Brontë Saurus, I suppose.

It's a great name for a company creating these balls

Busby was a bird.

We know , don't we, girls and boys?

I know someone, no joke, called Godsgift.

It's actually my nephew.

But I cant write it down.

But it's the word for God in our language .

They even had people asking why they named their baby God when he was ill and had to be checked over in hospital.

Can't wait til he starts nursery or school.

If it's the name I'm thinking of I've met 2 people called it.
I'll just add, after years of interviewing people I've heard all sorts of odd names and very strange spellings. I can't tell you half of them because it really would be outing.

Candida used to be a posh English girls' name - along the lines of Camilla, Arabella and Prunella!

I walked Pat a woman who was calling to her kid: Kylon. wtf

This was pronounced like Kaiser Soze , the character from the film "The Usual Suspects ".

I think Gertrude is the name I like the least that I have actually met someone carrying. But I like creative names in general (though my dc have fairly classical ones)

Ok I googled.
Biff is Elizabeth which kind of makes sense (Beth = Biff)
Kipper is Christopher.
Chip is...... David 🤷
If these siblings were real people they'd be in their late 40s now (books first published 1986).
Do you reckon they stuck with their nicknames?

What's wrong with that?

My DS was due on Valentines Day and my pregnancy hormones convinced me Romeo would be cool. My kids are the same gen as the Beckhams.
Thankfully, I was persuaded otherwise. He’s not the romantic type at all.

Kayson,made up name that mother liked to pronounce Kay sonnnnn.

Woodfin Barkley Cobb the third

Agree - Rose is very popular as is Fred/Freddie.

@Foundress it was true. As was the poir girl I came across many years ago called Holly Mackrell.

I used to know a Heathcote (quite nice name) but it was pronounced Heth-cot as though we were all saying it in a northern accent (he and his family were from London). Less Wuthering Heights-esque and more pharmacy chain or fancy care home

Pat’s a classic!

Destyni

I once taught a James Bond, he was the image of the Miky Bar kid though.

A friend once asked a very young new mum what she was calling her baby and was told Kyumi.

Oh, how unusual, is it a family name?

No, it's a deodorant on the telly.

DGD was born on Valentine's Day. Thankfully you can't tell from her name.

I like Trinity, however.
