Would you call your child 'trash'?

[Jamboree1234]

I know someone who refers to her child as 'trash'. It doesn't seem right, but I'm not a parent so what do I know. Would you? Would you say something? I don't know her all that well.

In what context?

Is it a shortening of name or is she saying he's trash?

In the context of using 'trash' as a name. It isn't short for anything and it isn't used in an aggressive or angry manner. Just 'Hey Trash' instead of 'Hey Tom' or whatever.

I call my son worse

Have you any idea why? Seems odd unless there's some back story.

I call my two year old a bog rat, he finds it hilarious, he also has a random orange blob soft toy called Boris the bog rat!

He also called me a tramp the other day (after I called DH a tramp for not tidying up the kitchen) shamefully I couldn't stop myself laughing so he will probably do it again...

Was it a joke like this?

I know someone who calls her child Junk as his name has similar letters and this is what he used to call himself.

I don't think it is meant as rubbish, more trash as in he trashes the place. Like most kids with a bazillion toys and a habit of touching things they shouldn't!

When I was a child I had friends who were twins called Siobhan and Gabriella- they were known as a Smash and Grab......
