The dad had an agreement with the mum that she chose the first name, and he chose the middle name - it was ALWAYS going to be a toss up between Skeletor or Hordac, and Skeletor won through.

We know of (friends of friends) Mr & Mrs Lines who have decided to call their recent baby boy "Charlie". Apparently they genuinely didn't realise.
One my wife heard of from a friend of hers whilst in the postnatal ward:
Woman: "We're calling her Fe-mar-lay"
Friend: "Fe-mar-lay Oh that's an unusual name, is it African perhaps..?"
Woman: "I don't know really. To tell you the truth, I've just copied it from someone else's baby notes on the ward."
Friend: "Really? So how is it spelled?"
Woman: "F-e-m-a-l-e."
Friend: <facepalm>

Poor sod Mother aged 12? Conceived during the Egyptian topic? Schools these days... You wonder if she knows it's to do with death. Or maybe she's just a big Unreal Tournament fan. More likely to be Unreal Tournament - if they knew that Anubis was actually the name of the wolf headed egyptian god of the underworld/judging the dead, they would probably be less keen. (For those who don't know why Anubis is a bad name for a child.) Suppose the nursery could think itself lucky it never had Ra, Seth, Hathor or an Osiris in there as well.

He suggests giving their kid the christian name of 'Senator' to help give the kid a head start in life. That reminded me of "Catch 22", Major Major Major Major

I know a white South African whose middle name is 'Orange'. Sounds odd to me but he reckons it's quite a common name there.

Possibly La Grange, but not Orange. Although his parents may have given him a colourful name, it's not one I've ever heard.

I know a 'honey-mae indigo'. No her parents dont work.
Luckily my child is going to be named Daniel. And is to be taught that if any kid called trixie comes up to him in the playground he is to laugh in their face.

I was in a popular fast food outlet once and heard a very well spoken parent call out to their little Octavia, she may have been well spoken but still to cheap to call her daughter Passat. Errr fail. Octavia was actually a girls name well before it was a car.

Talking to a friend today, she is a baby sitter.
One kid she looks after has a hyphenated christian name of Jeremy-Kyle.
I guess we all know what the mother looks like.
