No, they don't.Has anyone been told by their parents what they had planned to call you when you were born? a friends parents wanted to call him Sebastian up until the day he was born and his dad changed his mind last minute

Sounds like someone is a fan of The Incredibles. When our son was born, the child in to see the doctor before us was called Bigboy. How on earth are you meant to be taken seriously in life with a name like Bigboy?
Bigboy?!?! What were they thinking? I heard a story about an American who called his two sons Winner and Loser, Winner became a crack addict, in and out of jail every other month and Loser became a detective in the police. Names have an enormous affect on peoples lives.

Would you genuinely not take someone seriously as an adult if they had an unusual name? It's probably the one thing you can do nothing about (changing your name seems more ridiculous somehow) so if my lawyer etc. was called 'Ziggy' or something, I'd not give a s
t. It's just a name.
Conversely, would you be unable to do business with someone from a foreign country who had a 'funny' name? A French bloke called Michelle, for example, or would you shout "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - THAT'S A GIRL'S NAME YOU IDIOT"?
Find this odd, I must say. It's just a name.
(Please note, I wouldn't call my child Mydnyte but I wouldn't really give a fk if someone else did)

My wife went to school with some plankton, who called her sorry offsproing Le-a. Prenounced "leadasha".
I pity the poor kid, will end up a fat unemployed leech like the mother no doubt.

Surely it should be My-Dun-ite. Just out of interest what's the poor girls middle name?
She has no middle nameMy dad used to work with a guy called Justin, he refused to tell us his surname (as we were kids and would likely cause some embarrassment to both my dad and Justin) About 15 years later he finally caved in and told us.....his name was Justin Bottom, we still all laughed like 10 year old's.

There is a lovely family near me with their sons called Lucifer and Lokey, im not a god fearing man but I would be inclined to air on the side of caution and not piss the big man off just in case he's real.
do they spell it Lokey or Loki?
and can usually be found shouting in the street where they live.I know someone who called their child "Butterfly Princess". Incredible.
I was in our local Minor Injuries Unit with my daughter yesterday and the woman sitting opposite us in the waiting room had three kids. Every time she called the youngest boy I thought I had misheard her as she kept calling him 'Diesel'. I listened out for the other boy's name as I thought it might be something like 'Unleaded' but actually he and the little girl both had quite normal names.
