A name is for life

In Tesco today this young mum is shouting the brat, "Come here, Destiny!"

What's the worst Christian name you know somebody has been saddled with? Or were you yourself a victim of Mum fancying some pop singer or soap star, a Jason or a Kylie? Are you happy with your moniker?

And will the next generation have net nicks like Emzay and Yodasarmpit for first names?

 

Now that would be scary

 

At school I knew this kid called Rocky that was quite the boxer. His brother and sister were called Sonny and Cher.

I kid you not.

 

I think I read somewhere that a bloke (with the surname Walker), named his son Luke Sky...

 

Ive heard a girl called "cristal".........Pronounced Like the Champagne.

How sad.

 

Frank Zappa's kids we're a bit unfortunate...

Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen

harsh

 

Celebrities don't help.

Kirstie Allsop (Location, Location, Location) has called her knew sprog "Bay Atlas". I mean...huh?

 

My name aint to bad, its unsual altho, the on going joke for the last 21 years is 'Farmer Giles' <---- oh the fun of that!

Giles is ok in my mind, but my middle intials always cause a small laugh with teens Giles BJ Cotterill

think my parents were on drugs at the time surely?

I'll probabily name my kids (pending) something stupid, like Jean-Luc (Picard) or something else out of Sci-Fi.

I'd never ever give them the 'common' (for lack of a better word) names that are cropping up now.

 

Worst name eva: nevaeh

TO understand why, read it backwards

Spoiler

Heaven

 

girl being called today by chav parent "shakira"

you called your kid after some idiot "pop star"

 

Hey, Shakira is hawt and I only know of one other woman that can dance like her.

 

blind people need not reply to post

 

Im quite happy with my name as im the only person(in England) with my name, tho it gets anoying to tryin explain on how to pronounce it to new people.

 

Neither do the working classes, name such as: Britney, Sabrina, Clarissa... any of the above... they all annoy me, then again, so do the working classes lol

 

So you annoy yourself, or don't you or your parents have to work for a living.

 

now now, class divides are for another thread...

(Lord Fethers sits down)

 

meh. I'm happy with my name.

Worst I've seen personally is a girl that graduated from high school the same year as me - Lotta Weiner.

 

Ouch.

My parents thought of naming my little sister louise, but realised that sending a child out into life with the name "lou" bole wouldn't be too kind. I was working with several family groups over the summer and we had one pair of sisters called paris and destiny...

What's wrong with katie, emily, ciara, sarah et al? Not 'boring' as far as I;m concerned. Having said that I think caitlin is a lovely name for a girl. Irish names sound beautiful but considering the trouble some teachers have with aoife, calling someone Siobhan or Caoimhe is making things a touch tricky.

 

A workmates two kids are called "Paris" and "Desian". I'm fine with unusal names but I can't stand all these "let's call our kids some mindless crap" celb kids.
