Another 'strange' names thread...............

[HRHQueenOfQuotes]

heard two crackers while out in Zimbabwe.

firstly we arrived at our Lodge in Vic Falls and were greated by

"Fatnass" (that's the spelling DH says they probably used - but pronounced Fatness)

and on the list of contact at the Hwange safari Lodge was a

"Whatmore"

Well yes with the Bong, but i think it is enough to count as odd alone isn't it? Or are there loads of them wandering about notting Hill being all cool probably actually, as far as I would know from the sticks LOL!

I wasn't criticising your suggestion of Ignatius... sorry if offended! jsut beinga bit, well you know, jocular

my friends little girl is in class with a biy called Kitten - FGS!

or even a boy not a biy lol

oh not in the slightest bit offended!!!!!!

i'm also in sticks fwiw!!! never even been to NH!

my son has D'artagnan in his class!!

having to stifle my laughter as I sit at my desk at work ! this is hilarious..

my boy's Luca Gabriel but it's only because Luca is 'Luke' in Italian and his father's italian. not too weird is it ?

When I was in the school choir there was an American girl called Lucky.

There's a little boy in the next town to me called Pelé with a VERY Scottish surname. There's also an Aaliyah, Jaxon and a Versacé

Chavtastic

i LOVE the name Felix - its just lush,

love Ignatious too,

i know a little baby girl called Pandora, and her brother is Casper - love those

a woman who is always around town called her bubba Tiger-lilly (ewww)

i love unusual names, My boys are Addison & Dexter,

id like another boy called Phinneus or Cosmo

cosmo is fab

Ok now im worryed that i may be about to pick a terrible name for my baby who's due in 3weeks, ant thoughts on Austin?

came across a horatio recently

Austin in its self is lovely,

but my first thought is Austin Powers, or Austin from the backyardigans,

but i do really like it, and if you do, then go for it,

no one liked Dexter when i announced it during my pregnancy, but now most people love it,

and my son is definatly a Dexter

kitty xx

used to know a little Botswanan boy called Helicopter ( oh he was so sweet!)
have an old barmy schoolfriend with children called
Miles Metre and Acre ( she's bonkers BTW)
worked with kids in a playscheme called Sapphire and Steele ( twins)

Alex james (ex-bassist from Blur) has a Geronimo, Gallileo and another one whose name escapes me.
Mr James, I salute you!

Jenita - don't now if it has an Italian derivation perhaps? Was too desperate to get aways without PMSL to ask ...because unfortunately her surname is Lewis.

i have an Isaac (which my nan made me check the bible cos she thought he was a baddie - he's not god asked his father abraham to kill him to prove his faith i think) and i have a Tallulah Jean Honey i love unusual names - the bloke off my name is earl has a son called pilot inspektor - true google it!!!!!!

DS1 had a Flopsy at his playschool last year!

are his siblings called Mopsy and Cottontail then?

D'artagnan, bloody hell!

I have taught a girl called Tuesday...born on a friday. She must get sick of answering that Q.

Saw a friend in hospital who was delivered by Patience, and subsequently looked after by Comfort and Happiness. The baby in the bed opposite had been named J-Lo. Or perhaps Jaylo as didn't see it written down.

I think VB's choice of names are always interesting. Brooklyn is OK but Romeo is frightful. Cruz apparently is a girl's name in spanish and is very religious. If she has a girl, then she will be Luna (moon), which I think is quite pretty. Can probably only get away with it if you're famous though. Not sure Luna Smith would go down well round these parts.

I shudder to think!
She was a girl. Does that make it better? With a name like that you can't really see her ever being a top barrister or anything can you? It's a stripper's name.

I knew of someone called Wayne Carr, not surprisingly he changed it as soon as he was old enough!

Also know someone whose middle name is Armageddon - made him show us his passport before we believed him!

Heard of a kid who was named "Burned Brain".Supposed to be Bernard Brian but parents spelt it incorrectly!!!

FourJays, I wouldn't have thought Flopsy was a very appetising stripper name. Sleep therapist maybe?

Ah but Frank Lampard already has a Luna with his wife Elen Rives. So think Posh might deem it a bit common for her dd should she ever have one. I like it actually, but not sure I could get away with it.
I was nearly called Loveday - was my mother's fave name. Maiden name Cox. Not so sure whether it would have worked......
Even the most innocuous of names can be a cause for teasing. DD is Lucy and she keeps being called poosey by some kid at pre-school. Fortunately she hasn't really developed a sense of humour yet and I think she thinks this boy is hard of hearing instead of taking the mickey.

There is a Montgomery at Ds school, and a girl called Stazia, whose mum liked the name Anastacia but felt it too long for their surname.

When Ds1 was born there was a boy called Alister McCoist Leighton then their surname, which escapes me. For those who don't know, Ally McCoist and Jim Leighton were Scottish footballers. I must say though, Leigton sounds a bit better than Beckham, as a first name.
