Kids with stupid names...

[4x4Tyke]

"Reality Winner", yes that is her real name. Proof that nominative determinism is a fallacy or real?

Another thing that annoys me is nice tradition names spelt stupid ways like Kate spelt Kait. Has anyone else ever seen Kate spelt like that before?

Kayden and Jayden make me shudder, nailed on Council, ok now whilst still young but sort of think they will turn into massive tossers.

Someone we know spent too long trying to name their kid and seemingly over thought what they were trying to convey, and ending up naming the kid "Briarley"

My mates wife is a barrister who specialises in family law so deals with the dregs, and she classes these two names as care names, along with Lily-May (or similar names)

There are both a Kayden and Jayden in my kids class

Kai is just a version of Cai (Welsh name)?

Chap next door has the surname 'Burton'. Nothing unusual about that but his wife, from her previous marriage, has a son called 'Burton'...

Once had the misfortune of going to an american school graduation ceremony, and when calling the students up to the stage, who should get called but a lad named 'Dick Dangler'. No-one seemed to find it funny except myself and my English mate that I was with, resulting in lots of looks and glares when we couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the ceremony

I use to like the names Tyler, Mason, Riley. But I think these names also now have a certain image in people's mind. They were nice names but been ruined by so co called parents from certain estates.
Shane and Wayne can also be added to this list. No offense of course if your name is Shane or Wayne.

I wonder how many billionaires, business leaders, great philanthropists and other successful people there are with council names?

The top of the rich list has Bill, Warren, Jeffrey, Mark, Charles, David and Michael. Larry Ellison is letting the side down a little.

Any female double barreled name seems to be on the scale, especially if Marie is in there, stuff like Taylor Britney, Courtney Marie or anything like that, I think its trying to come across "posh", but has the opposite effect, it can be done but think it needs two shorter names and not too many syllables, like Ellie-May could work, but not when chavvy names are involved, needs to be almost one word to carry it off.

Anything with surnames for first names is a clue as well, Jaxson, Mason, Connor, Tyler and anything like that

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.

My son's name is pretty well Diesel.

My daughter named him that while my wife was pregnant as she was into Thomas the Tank Engine at the time, and Diesel was the 'naughty engine'.

It's not his real name, but nobody has called him anything else since he was born. It suits him frankly.

That's a shame. At about the age of 6 or 7 I decided I no longer liked my 1st name (George) and refused to answer to anyone unless they called me by my middle name. You brother has removed that option from your niece.

My 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.
