What's the most ridiculous name you've ever heard of/ seen used?

[firstontheway]

Obviously it's my own fault for choosing the 'one million and 3 baby names' book instead of a more sensible '1000 baby names that are good and you might actually use' book, but COME ON! Some of the names in here are just so ridiculous it's crazy....

Frigg
Schmoopie
Candida
Hitler
Abacus
Flirt
Butter

I can't honestly believe someone would go through this book and think 'hmmm, Sarah, Samantha, Scarlett... Schmoopie. Yes, Schmoopie, the perfect name for our dear daughter.'

And I once looked after a little baby Chlamydia poor foreign parents didn't speak english very well and wanted a name that sounded pretty when you said it

Any of the names of Sarah Palin's kids.

Olefson Patate

Randy Hand

many many many years ago, i read an article in the sunday times, about cruel parents giving kids names like

John Will Fail

Dominic Dominic Dominic

but I can't remember anymore, it was a long time ago

robert sherunkel, known as Bob

AT work, a good few years ago now. A letter from - I think - a norwegian woman called

Dorthe Thing

har har! I hear an Irish voice in my head saying dirty thing

Kid-Rise

This was in the local paper!!

the twins Pele and Cartier

lol at barbiehouse

C.I.D

No, not his initials, that's his name.

Pronounced 'Sid'. Fecking idiot parents.

DH taught a 'Hashley'. FFS.

Eh? C.I.D.? What sort of morons were his parents?

Ronnie McDonald! There was a child of this name at a school I worked at.

I have known a girl named Cinderella and one called Xtra (whom changed her name to Natalie at age 10 - refused to be called Xtra or answer to it) (Cinderella was just called Ella)

I know of a woman whom has a daughter called Millenium (and I suspect there was many of those in the year 2000 ) they call her Milly

and I once in a play centre met a woman with 1 1/2 year old twin girls Isadora and Jessabelle .....

Loonnie

Jolyon

I know it's a real name but I still think it's ridiculous!

At work I came across a couple of prescriptions for children called Pele and Shakira. I'm sure these are real names somewhere in the world, but not in West Sussex.

Oh, and I know of someone (friend of a friend) who called her baby Kiedis, after the bloke in the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

St John (pronounced Sinjun?)

Sorry to all those who have a DS with this name, but I just can't get my head around it.
Maybe I'm not posh enough.

when I was 9 I had twin Claire and Candida in my class.

I've taught a Maximillia (girl), a Trixs (boy), Atilla (boy) and sisters called Paris and Milan (as this was where they were concieved so they told me - they were about 4 and 6 and this was 10 years ago!!)

best one was teaching in a small Scottish Borders town a lad called Kirk Bell! Parents couldn't see what was wrong with it!

oh... also had parents who thought that Hugh was pronounced Huggy!

I know a little Jolyon! I think it's a lovely name. My ds2 used to call him Jolene!!

I know of a girl called Fabia, just sounds too much like Labia for comfort!

Atilla is a perfectly normal Turkish boy's name!

I know one family who had three children called Cobain (After Kurt Cobain), Jordan (Katie Price) and Prince.

Why you'd want to name your children after those people I've no idea.
