met a guy named Jez Spackman last week. Had us giggles for a while....or should I post on the juvenile snigger thread?
My colleague has a customer with the surname Spackman, any mention of his name makes me have a little chuckle to myself.
Someone I know is friends with a Spackman, she often mentions that she's "going round to Spacker's".

I noticed there was a female athlete competing a couple of days ago at the world champs whose name was Sparkle McKnight. I think she was from one of the Caribbean nations.
I used to work with a Sparkle Weaver.

She was, of course, American...

I've just remembered a lass of the councilist persuasion who my wife used to know when we first met. Wedding reception in a flat-roofed pub, punch-up before the buffet was out, you get the idea.

Had a kid named Angel Star. That's bad but her sister was clearly born before this became something else...

A friend of mine taught in an east end school and one of the kids in her class was called 'Ladasha', but it was spelt 'L'-a'.

Labia.

3 year old, asked the parents what her name was told "labbeeya", thinking that can't be right, ask for the spelling l a b i a.

Apparently not uncommon in Pakistan, it is a pretty sounding name, and very feminine, but might cause some issues at school.

I can see it on her report card now;
Labia can be disruptive in class, she is quite lippy.

Friend named daughter La-a

The dash, unfortunately, is not silent, so pronouced La-daysh-a

He is no longer a friend
Some Gump said:
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.

I think I can win this thread.

When we went to register our daughter (Zara) in April we were talking to the registrar about the stupid names she has seen parents register.

Her best happened only a few weeks before we were there and she wrote the name down for me on a piece of paper which was:

La-a


Any ideas?

No?















It's pronounced 'Ladasha'. La Dash A. Seriously.

Other than being staggered at the mouthbreathing chav parents I just feel sorry for the poor kid who (unless she has the sense to change her name as soon as she can) will have to spell it out every single time she gives her name and then try and explain why her parents were such retarded cockbags to call her that in the first place.

Overheard at a hospital appointment

teenagers name was Le-a (female)

pronounced Ledasha
SpeckledJim said:
You don't need to be as specific as Marie. The presence of the hyphen is enough.

Honourable mention here to Le-a. Pronounced, with gloomy inevitability, Ledasha.

A remarkably common name, it seems, or is it the same one that everyone knows?

Fas1975's friend went to school with Some Gump's wife, and had a baby in the same hospital that Davey S2 and Marty63 visited later on. This child was then taught at school by Tylerama's friend. It's a small world.

Snopes has this as an Urban Myth dating back to 2008 with NO documentary evidence.

I mentioned this to the missus last night and it turns out my memory was playing tricks on me. The kids are named Kia Star and Rio Angel. They probably have a brother named Mentor Ce'ed by now...
