For fun - what's the oddest name you've heard?

[YesSirICanBoogie]

An old friend in the US has named her baby daughter McCaa. The only reason I know it's a girl is because her middle name is Laura!

i went to school with a jenica. her parents couldn't decide between jenny and jessica.

I have a book by someone called Candida Crewe...it is kind of an autobiography...she talks of her embarrasment about her name...and then gets an eating disorder...

If you want daft names watch America's Next Top Bimbo/Model. One entry was called Spontaneous. Pronounced Spon-Tain-Ee-Owse.

Maury is another daft show with daft names - ny DH and I reckon you could go round the house turning everyday items into names and they'd appear on the show at some point. Table = Tablitia. Curtain = Cur-Tayne (boys name obviously) Sofa = So-Fah and so on.

No he's a Welsh C-J FAQ.

Where we used to live in Hull a neighbour Julie had a baby, when I asked her name she said "Ellen" "oh I like Ellen I said, "no" replied Julie it's Elen with a Haitch but we don't say Haitch in 'ull"

Why is it Helen is spelt with an aitch and H is not?

I was at parents evening once and a little girl was called up, her name appeared to be Dimway which I thought was unusual.

My DD2 has a more unusual name than her sister and I always get the same response, "thats nice, thats.... unusual" but they like them so thats all that matters.

They also go to school with an Innocence.

What do you mean tattifer are you talking about H from Steps?

The word 'aitch' (is it even a word for a letter!?) ...I think...but I suppose that has an 'h' on the end!?

actually too old/boring/into Kate Rusby to know any of the names of Steps members, but if the cap fits...

...Capishia...

I was just referring fleetingly to the ironies of the pronunciation given the letter concerned aitch, spelt defiantly without an H in the front, so not Haitch... sigh and shakes head...no wonder I don't know anything about Steps...

Ugh, I hate it soooo much when people pronounce it haitch. YUK. That goes hand in hand with people who call a loo a toilet

AHH! I see what you mean.
In my beautiful birthplace of Hull however Aitch is often said Haitch which is why I added it.

Am slightly now at my Steps reference.

Notso...I thought of Steps too, not because I like them in the SLIGHTEST way, but because I have always thought of them as idiots all the more by having someone in a band called 'H'.

I know of a Tiger-Lily, Cartier, Dray, and Power.

I went to sixth form college with a guy called Kestrel - I believe his siblings were called Falcon and Peregrine.

notso Nooo, it's me, I'm boring, ignore me, sorry....

MANATEE please note my previous post, I don't want to be labelled forevermore as a mis-pronouncer of Aitch and lover of Steps.

runs off to use the loo in shame

sorry x posts!

Can you beleive his real name is Ian!!

Ian? I can see why he changed it to something glamorous and exciting like, er, H

Notso...do not fear, all Steps associations are forgotten!!!

Oh and btw, the loo/toilet thing...I wasn't being serious...well, not completely!

manatee really?

Oh good MANATEE because I always say Latrine

I know Tattifer H oodles better than Ian

Latrine, I always that would make a lovely name. A pretty little doe-eyed girl...

Rofl I imagine her to be a little flushed looking!

Latrine??? Do you really!?!?!? Well that would be something else to associate you with!!!

Tattifer I have no idea what you could possibly be suggesting...
