Do you know anyone who has named their child with really daft name!!!!!

[Flumpybumpy]

I know a girl whose called her Daughter Holly, not bad you say, her surname is Hester!!!!

I know someone who posted on a website under the alias "flumpybumpy" - I mean fgs, how dim!

Cannot believe the Candice comment? Candice is a lovely name!!!!

Know someone who taught a girl called Ria - which is fine - except her surname was Lidiott.

Just run the two together . . . .

i know a Rocco

i know a Magenta
and at the other end of the scale a Mabel Lark
(blimey i hope their mums don't come on here)

but i have to say the latter is growing on me.

My 10 month old is called Dirk, if he had been a girl (or if we have a girl in the future) she would be Fenchurch

I know a lady who is planning on calling her son Rocco, but it is spelt in a different way can't recall how, and is a traditional Scandanavian name (she is Scandanavian). I was planning to call ds Wayland, until someone pointed out that Smithers' (the Simpsons) first name is Wayland!

Such a personal thing though, we have come up with a name now which is unusual without imo being too pretentious, just hope he suits it when he's born! I think it depends on the kid as well, a name like Aphrodite for example is a lot to live up to, but I'm sure there is a grown up Aphrodite somewhere out there who just loves her name!

I knew brothers called Achilles and Spartacus Barron at school.

I know a boy called Thornton

This will end in tears...

here we go again . . .

usually does doesn't it.

Santagotstuckupthegreensleeve: it is not a thread ridiculing other peoples children, it is reidiculing the parents who have stuck their children with daft names that they will, no doubt, not thank them for in the future.

Get your facts straight before you jump on having a go!

I did once know someone called Chris Cross. I have nothing against the name Chris or any version of it, but honestly....

I knew a kid called Nimrod, he was murdered.

Morticia

I actually knew someone who's real forename on his birth certificate is Topher.

AND JUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH TOPHER? HOW VERY DARE YOU TAKE THE PISS OUT OF MY SON'S NAME!

That's IT! I'm reporting you and I shall never set foot in Mumsnet ever ever AGAIN!

He was a nice enough bloke, Cliffy, just had a daft name.

I know his mother spent a lot of time greetin' into her hankie over it.

NOT.

You should have heard what she named her daughter!

Speak to the hand!

So, whilst it's not ok to judge children because of their names it's ok to judge their parents?

i was at uni with a girl called mercedes storm. and no, that wasn't her porn star name, that was her actual name.

Yes! Piglit thank you! Expat is judging me and I'm not standing for it anymore! I am LEAVING MUMSNET!

I say HOORAY for people brave enough to give their children unusual names - my 2 are very boring. DS1 is a very conventional child who needs a solid 'ordinary' name, but DS2 is a bit more of a wild child who could've lived up to something wacky.
What a shame we don't know their characters when we name them!
