I know use of the word "chav" is frowned upon.....

[Tillyscoutsmum]

but I really can't think of a better word.

The name - shouted very loudly across Asda in a broad Black Country accent - was.......

Diamond-Lee

[blush

Could be worse, could've been "Diamond White"!!

oh no
better than diamond - geezer!!

I think it was the Black Country accent that made it worse - Diamond has 2 syllables (Doimund)

There was a baby called Swayze on the Jeremy Kyle show the other morning

I used to teach a child called Swastika... Honestly.

My current favourite sniggertastic overheard names are Justice and Destiny.

swastika? oh my god

justice and destiny are bad, but at least they form an actual word. i think the most offensive are ones where the spelling is completely random. i used to book flights for this girl called jyssyca pronounced jessica. destynee would be so bad. there was a baby on my road called daneeka who was red headed, it was terrible

oh lordy, wait till seeker sees this thread

Swayze?
I once heard a Denim being hollered at on a bus

Denim was a boy ... he was wearing denim

That's nothing. There was a lady in the Royal Free with a newborn who was WEARING double denim. I thought it was borderline cruel.

Gosh! The Royal Free! How did she get there? That's in Hampstead! How did they let her in??

Tbh I don't know what's worse... "deystineeeeeee" or some middle-class wanky pretentious gob full. ;)

I once followed three mountainous women with a very large toddler they refered to only as Princess, and I think it was her name. Mind you it was the Pound Shop. (Yes, yes, I know that sounds snobby but a) I was myself enjoying the shopping ambience of the aforementioned 'boutique shop' and b) I am a bit of a snob, apart from occasional forays to buy cheap cleaning stuff.)

Swastika means purity or luck in Sanskrit though doesn't it? The symbol's used used in Indian culture everywhere. It was used long before the Nazis adopted it. Admitedly, the parents perhaps should have read up on 20th century history before giving her the name if it subjects the child to odd looks. Funnily enough though, I don't think 'Nazi' when I hear that name. The Nazis weren't even creative enough to come up with a symbol of originality for their bigotry.

When you visit the remains of Roman villas and look at their floor tiles, the key design in them is similar to the swastika, it dates back to the Neolithic era.

It wouldn't be my first choice though katster37, so I understand what you're saying.

I know 2 boys called Justice! What are the chances? One of them is the son of a barrister as well, which makes it even funnier.

might have been diamondly

Diamondly. That's lovely.
Ahem
I met a little boy called Boden the other day. I think he was wearing some too.
Codi-Lee and Chelsea-Lee were in our local paper recently.
I still think Pebbles is hard to beat as a little girls name.

How about tuppence? Or Meek, Love, Abide, Hosanna, Joy and Goodnews (all one family)!
