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

honestly, person i know of vaguely

WAYNE KOFF

its true i tells ya

I heard (from a friend) of a family near us who all called their kids after famous people. Their surname was something totally normal (eg. Clark) - can't actually remember it.
So the family were all named as follows:

Dolly Parton Clark
Tom Jones Clark
Marilyn Monroe Clark
John Wayne Clark etc etc

and the rest of the (quite large) family did the same (eg the cousins etc) so at school there were masses of children with 'famous' names! I can't remember them all as there were too many. Quite funny though!

I know of a Dior (little girl). DH had misheard and thought they called her Eeyore!

Once taught a girl called mercy magic!

I know a Wendy who married a Mr House !

and a Richard Head (Dick)

went to school with Wayne Brain
and work with a Candida

and a 6 foot, bearded bloke called Marianne (not john Wayne though!)

There was an army bloke on TV in the summer called Major Richard Head.

You could not make it up.

His mummy was right posh, so maybe she'd never lowered her thoughts thus.

lol @ 2Helenback

DCs go to school with a little boy called Tiger. I remarked to one of the mums that I thought he really suited his name. She responded 'why, does he have a striped face?' Thought that was hilarious.

Dick Wilt

Went to school with a kid called Maff.

isn't the head of the army or sumit called Jock Stirrup? always makes me think jock strap....

Aw, Mercy Magic is a lovely name!!

My DH has seen many stupid names in his line of work but the best was Tequilla!

star!

when I had DS1, the woman opposite me in hospital had called her baby girl Serrell.

She said it was because her name was Sorrell and she wanted her baby to have a name a bit like hers...

There was a woman opposite me who gave her son the middle name of England (it was in the run up or the midst of the Euro cup).

I'd love to have twin girls and call them India and Africa .

I knew brothers called

Axel
&
Dragon

Such awful names! I can't remember what it was but thier sister had such a normail, plain jane sort of name!

Mercy Magic
Axel
Star

I like

Kayc (casey)

D'artagnan in my sons nursery class
Ptolomy at the local play barn...

Drew Peacock, an aussie politician IIRC

My friend met a Randy Bender in Canada where neither name is a euphemism.

He swore he would never visit our fair isle!

I worked in the National Child Benefit Centre and we once processed a claim for a child who had really cruel parents. This is no word of a lie, they called the child Ebenezer Finibar Hedgehog with the surname Cringebottom. Their surnames were something like smith and brown.

'Tis true

I have a friend with two little girls named Zephyr and Xiola...

Twins who go to playgroup with my DD are named Tayla and Braxton...

BabyBaby123 - I know a Shakira in West Sussex too. And shes no way arabian. Shes as white british as you can get. I also think its a fairly bad name but probably more so because of the pop star.

Worst I've heard are Wolf and Flash. Oh and a mum of a girl at my school was called Bubbles.

don,t suppose this is unusual for a girl cydni another way to spell sydney and rae female name for ray i also have a nephew called romeo !
