I would sooner poke my eyes out with a sharp stick than name my child....

[binker]

Kyle
Ellie
Jaden/Jayden
Chanelle
etc etc... and apologies if you have called your child any of the above
I put Ellie because a squillion little girls are called that.
Freya is a nice name but there are so many now - it really turns me against such names,no matter whether they are nice

Freaky bat troll

Peachy,we thought about Stirling for one of ours,and Ramsay.(pre Gordon Ramsay fame,we were thinking more Ramsay MacDonald)

A mother shouted for her son "B.J" in a shop in front of me the other day.It did cause a few raised eyebrows tbh.

i think Taylorsmummy hates me

and that's funny because?

Urk, Colifrau, Morpo, Asthma, Diddlitia, Frantica, Perimiter, Mothbett, Lishton - all due for a comeback.

It was Indigo Pipkins.

i know a few friends with children with names which i consider awful

kia
toni (girl)
ikea (girl yes really)

possbilly the worst name i ever heard was what my dd1 dad called his new son (born last wk) kal-el like out of super man !!

and dd2 dad called there new daughter wait for it Harmonye-angaleigh yes really and thats how its spelt, that is so disgusting

not that im remotely bitter about the fact he cant bothered with the daughter he already has or anything

oh i goggled it as i thought it was indigo

fleagle
beagle
droopy
snork

all due a revival.

Also kids named after fruit ( cheers Gwynnie and Chris): satsuma,lychee,papaya, passion,and of course ugli.

Saw a program on tv once about a family who were addicted to ikea furniture they called their daughter ikea

Toni for a girl... yik

there was one at my dd's old school called that and she was always telling people "my dad is in prison"

maybe a clanger name would be a development, we could just take a whistle everywhere. The registrar would need a tape recorder.

so what?

sounds like a lovely child allgonebellyup

some one please tell me that
Harmonye-angaleigh is disgusting and its not just bitter ness

Oh that reminds me, harpsi, Fenton sounds too much like Feltham (Young Offenders Institution)

it is absolutely bloody dreadful!! that poor child. Chav doesn't even begin to cover it.

I think its more that its just a bit much. Harmony is a lovely name. Where did the other bit come from? is it angela and leigh they were trying to combine?

Could they just not make their minds up and went for all three.

fruit names - oh yes!

grape and banana

or Greek islands

Crete
Meganissey
Niros
Astypalia

Or Cows. Jersey and Freisian.

or if you went for pigs you could have the hypenated Gloucester-Old-Spot

A friend's daughter has a girl called Ladybird in her nursery - think thats pretty mean on the child.

Names very subjective - often find myself detesting perfectly good names because of bad associations and vice versa.

Surprised that most people aren't bothered by names being common (in the literal sense of the word). We ditched Olivia -lovely name but it was the most common girls name last year (refer to the Office of National stats website if you want a list of the most popular names). Was glad I decided against as 4 of them in my dd's singing class. Still most people not bothered by popularity of names. Most boys round here either called Tom or Jack.

ooh yes lucycat, I like it.

Sifnos?
Zante ( actually not too bad)
Corfu ( for the chavs, natch)

or how about Cyclops, to extend the Greek theme?

Know lots of people called Xanthe. I think its a resort in greece or turkey or maybe both.

god knows they are proper chavs though the child also has a middle name scarlett not as bad i suppose but fancy shouting harmonye-angaleigh across a crowded place
pmsl when i found out

she has 2 sons called
Dylan
Jaycob

which i dont mind but cant say an awful lot as there my dp's children

Southeast ... I always thought it was Indigo Pipkin.
