Worst first name you have come across

[dadintheshed]

For me, it has to be the name Jay-T

Chegirl, its not a class issue. Plenty of poncey middle class parents give their children ridiculous names. At least two of my four examples come from middle class families.

The names that make me go the most are the names the Slebs impose upon their children....why is it that because they're famous (for now) they think it's ok to give their offspring such ludricous names such as Audio Science, Satchel, Pilot Inspektor & Kitchen Sink? (Ok so I made Kitchen Sink up but it wouldn't suprise if someone thought 'Ooo I like it what a lovely name'!)

i taught a kid called chance, but i dont think its that bad and he was a nice kid

A little boy called River
A little girl called something like Saranna or Saramma

Oh and Brinley but I think that's cos the primary school I went to was called Brindley.

Oh and a girl called Heaven

Brinley is a family name for us - goes back yonks.

Twins called Ronnie and Reggie. Great on their own but too twee for me when paired together like that.

And clearly destined for a life of crime, nappyaddict!

Oh yes I'd forgotten about the Kray twin murderers!

I put my DD's name on the 'Baby name finder' here. It's a common enough name but spelt in the original Hebrew way (coz we thought it was nicer).

There has been one poster who viewed it who 'loathed it' and asked me was I kidding when I put in her middle name (which goes very well with it btw).

They also said that my dd will grown up to be a Barista who wears clothes from Primark, shops in Aldi and will eat Fox's Party rings .

I must admit I'm a bit miffed and was thinking of putting up an AIBU about it but I won't.

Would love to know what this person called their LOs though!

R-marni

Oh, I see someone else knows an R'marni . That's MUCH classier

Aubrey (but I know some of you poshsoes out there will love that)

Not bad names but sibling pairs called Karen and Darren and Matthew and Natalie (Matt and Nat)

whats wrong with Mercedes..the name came before the car!

Mercedes is a Spanish name, means Mercy.

The worst one I ever saw was at a checkout in Chicago -- the poor girl had a name tag that said Nakeda. I tend to misread things and at first all I could see was 'Naked'. She told me (cos I had to ask) that she pronounced it like you would pronounce Nikita with an American accent (Nakeeda).

Dorcas is Latin. I think she was some goddess or figure in mythology famous for sewing or doing needlework or some other valuable domestic activity.

Heaven-leigh has to be the one that sticks in my mind. Also know a Precious.

The 1900's names, Elsie, Freda, Ethel, Mildred,Muriel, Ronald, Reginald, Stanley etc closely followed by 1940's names of Nigel, Brenda etc.

Jermajesty

Destiny -its like something out of Bratz! oh god please dont let anyone here have a dd called Destiny

Diesel, it was on wife swap - poor kid!

Moet, pronounced Moway, after the oft' mispronounced champagne which is correctly pronounced Mow-ett. (Mr Moet was Dutch, not French, and it's one of those 'sorting the men from the boys' bits of wine knowledge that marks you out as a no-nothing flash barrow boy, when you ask for it in a bar. ) How embarrassing. Serves them right, bloody pretentious twats. (the parent, I mean. Poor child, though.)

And Kenyon......for a girl. WTF?

And the little girl whose brother pronounced 'Thalia' with a F - who will be the one to tell their mother that it's actually pronounced Tar-lia, like Thomas, not a 'th' sound at all!
