Reminds me of the time I spent in Bedminster (in Bristol).

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.

Cody-Dior (girl). As seen this year in one of the class one of my wife's colleague's wife looks after.

There are others too... Twin girls, one of them is named Bacardi.

Poor kids.

Both of my sisters have produced young-ones recently, Maybe not stupid names, but a little alternative: Beau and Joules, both boys I might add.

I think it started with Chris Martin's kid being called Apple.
Not really, that's just part of a rock/pop/film star tradition:

Zowie Bowie
Dweezil, Moon Unit & Diva Thin Muffin Zappa
Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches and Pixie Geldof
Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson
Kal-El Cage
Pilot Inspektor Lee (Jason Lee - My Name is Earl)
Kyd Duchovny
Sage Moonblood Stallone

etc, etc.
I'm calling my next one iKid.

I beg to differ!

I think the problem is, people name their child without thinking what its going to be like when there in their mid 40's trying to be taken seriously. For example are you really going to take advice of a fat balding 40 something bloke called Beau.

There was a guy who transferred to my (rough & ready) secondary school, he had a yellow greased down mushroom cut. Tried playing the hard man and had a few scraps (or kick ins).

The boys then found out his full name, I wont say his first name but it ended "Tobias Royston John", he was forced to quit shortly after that...

A name isnt a freedom of expression. It is a basic function of every day living. Pretty much every day I have had to spell out my first and last name and it isnt as hilarious as it seems.

Every time I hear a fked up name I take a keen interest in knowing the parents names. Without a doubt they are always a Tim and Linda. "Life is hard for me because there were four girls named Linda at school and I felt that I didnt have an identity...waaaahhh me me me"

This topic has lost synchro in second and really grinds my gears.

Im not sure of the spelling but they act as though theyre possessed, from what I know the mum has issues rolleyes and can usually be found shouting in the street where they live.

Not really a stupid Zippy Zappy, Dippy Dappy kind of name, but my little brothers (28 now) name is Barnaby. He has never liked it!

Anyone on here with an unusual name?

Who doesn't like their name?


With the really wierd names I think with some parents its almost tantamount to abusing their own child.

I'm thinking...school! Any defect, out of the ordinary looks, or STUPID name sets you up as Target to bullies for years.

Yet some parents don't even consider the potential harm they could be inflicting on their child. rolleyes

I quite like that one, it does raise questions about the parents lifestyle though hehe

I think it's ok to give your pets silly names but not kids, I want a dog and already have a name lined up for him, Syndrome.
Good name - I wanted to call my pup Dave - but was voted out by SWMBO!

I have had a stupid name for 45 years. Quite a few people in my class did. (parents in the 60s). It has never bothered me.
