Can't find a funny baby name thread to add to, but these are corkers

[MrsJohnCusack]

I know names are a personal choice and everything and I try not to make fun, but these are great, had to share them. haven't included surnames. hope the proud parents aren't mnetters...
from today's newspaper (in Christchurch NZ)

Zephyr Artemisia Ahriman Vulcan Kelsey (a boy, in case you were wondering)
and
Tintin Java Rocket

couldn't make it up could ya

Neither of my kids names have come up yet

lol at hrh.
my 2 are still ittle so i dont need to call them as such yet, but in public, i tend to use their nicknames a lot.....
Pimp/Pimpy & Goddy!
lol

Peachyclair...We thought about Stirling for our DS. Hubby a big Velvet Underground fan and no way was I going for Louis.

We also thought about Virgil (to be known as Gus) as his dad claims his brother named him after a thunderbird. I quite liked it.

However, before he was concived we loved and bestowed him with the name Edgar. It suits him.

Zephyr Artemisia Ahriman Vulcan Kelsey and Tintin Java Rocket - it's like throwing darts at a cd and film collection and using the whatever words they land in!

Zig-a-Zig Fandango Reservoir Moonshine anyone?

I have always been very fond of the word Plinth

Plinth Bishop

And zygote, what a great word!

Zygote Bishop

I like the words 'spunk' and 'rhubarb' - now that would make a fantastic name!

(I'm demob happy now - it's just over an hour till hometime)

We should have named Stirling grimmer. , more appropriate today.

I gopt bullied with a really common first and last name )no middle) and yet the kids have never ahd a joke about Peach.... not sure what that proves though

Dh wanted to call Samuel Anakin. I said No. Bt DS3 has crud middle anmes- harold jarvis griffith peach. griffith because it is my Grandad's surname and it died out with the genration, Jarvis for Jarvis Cocker DH still hasn't forgiven me LOL

nogoes, I know someone online who changed her name to Squirrel by deed poll! Gotta be the same person you'd think! Tho I never heard the Le Bon bit!

My son's name was originally the name of the main character of a fantasy fiction novel hubs was going to write! Consequently, I don't tend to participate in these kinds of threads ;o) Most people say they think it's unusual, but nice though I'm sure they're being polite ;o) We gave him a thoroughly normal middle name just in case!

goblinqueen - Is she or was she in South East London. If so pretty sure it's the same one!

nogoes - definitely London, but I'm not sure what area but it must be!

DD goes to school with a "Molly Moo". Too bovine for words!!!

I'd give you MHO on unusual names but I'd be flamed.

I work in the realm of childcare and I am aware you have to keep your opinions to yourself but sometimes you stand there and think...and that child has to live with that for the rest of their life!

I confess I would make an awful registrar...'and that's the name you want is it?...would you like to go away and think about it?

An Ex colleague told me that in France a child's name has to be picked from an approved list! Bit draconian that tho

LOL Mummymonster - when we went to register DS1 (2 biblical names - not unusual or anything) the Registra said "Traditional spelling?" and we said yes, she said " lovely " - and looked very chuffed - I think she'd had enough of the unusual ones by that stage!

Same here Tommy, when we went to register DS the lovely registrar (who didn't bat an eyelid that I was BFing under my shirt throughout) said 'oh how nice, we don't hear the old names that often anymore'

It was nice to make her day

Hi

I have enjoyed reading through this thread. Just wondering if anyone posting or reading these has read Freakanomics? Very interesting stuff in there on names - like a test done in the states where 2 identical CVs were sent to apply for a number of jobs - One with a regular Christian name and one with a HipHop kind of unique/unusual name - guess which got the interviews!! The book asks the question, why do parents activily disadvantage their children in the workplace through the names that they give them... Interesting thought - book also includes examples of twins - Lemon Jello and Orange Jello (pron. Le Mongelo) and also a girl named Shi'teed - written shithead...

When I lived in Dubai a colleague called their son Jesus Christ Mercedes Benz - so that he could have the best of the material and the spiritual world. Bless!

that is pure genius

my youngest is called Hezus
my DD is mary ann

and my eldest is Joe

A friend's cousin got married to an American ice-hockey player & they named their sons Beefy and Ice......! I also heard "come 'ere, London" shouted in Tesco a few months back... classy

As a supply teacher I have come across some truely wonderful names. The most memorable was Xa-Zurae. Pretty, tho unusual, but no one ever knew how to pronounce it! (Zay-Zuray incase you're wondering) Her little sister was called Sherazwala (sp?) and they were youngest 2 of 7, all with ... unusual names!

My friend married an American and was introduced to a RANDY!! Couldn't look at the guy without giggling. Just being immature.

In Hong Kong people choose their own Western names for international use because the family name goes first in Chinese which confuses everyone else. A HK colleague of mine told me about a school friend who became American Express Lam (I just made up the surname there). They all called him Amex.

i know what you mean about HK. There used to be a lady working in a McDonalds who had chosen the name 'Fork'.
