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

Destiny (pronounced Des-tin-ehh)

• she was being shouted at in BHS

lived in east ham and little Chel-C was in the local paper.

No, this Tuppence is about 30 ish.

Former colleague of DP is called Boogie Bougalou.

I worked with a Randy Manny...and a Santa!

Ptolemy. Just why?

One of my friends' DD has a little girl in her class at school called Jedi

I really hate threads like this.

I like Ptolemy. And St John.

Destiny is just awful though.

Broccoli, any of your kids' names mentioned by any chance?

LOl I read the above and thought for a moment someone had named their child Broccoli lol

I worked in a school where there were siblings named:

Princessing Lady Jane
Geronimo
Guvnor

There were some older siblings who had already left the school and I wish I knew their names too but sadly don't.

I went to school with a Lincoln Lincoln. I thought that was quite cool really, if a bit unimaginative.

I know a Candida Piel. I kid you not.

No. My children are called Dave and Sara.

Farmers called their daughter Henrietta Bullock!!

there's nothing wrong with the name Shakira - it's Arabic why has it appeared twice on this thread? and the poster who said 'it was in West Sussex' so what?? is everyone in West Sussex white british, i'm assuming there must be a minority who are not.......

ho hum name name threads always degenerate into a scrap.name gets slated and faces all round

oh hell i like labia minora that's exotic in west sussex

Precious Koko sounds like it as African origins. Names such as precious, gift etc very common there, and the surname Koko sounds possibly West African......

i agree gift,blessed,blessing,precious are all nice names

have heard of a baby being called skye (her surname was walker) skye walker

Skye Walker is FAB

Aw Broccoli, my kids have 'ridiculous' names! Maybe we should start a We Like These Names And Don't Care What You Think Club.

someone once used one of my DS's names on a thread similar to this - something along the lines of "who on earth calls their child a name like ^that".

I didn't see the thread someone sent me a link afterwards - can't remember who had brought my DS's name up - but there were lots of people that jumped to my defence

yeah wans't very nice for me......especially as it was around the time when my depression had me at rock bottom.

But my DS's names rock

labia - as in female genitalia?
