Kids with stupid names...

[Balmoral]

Not really a stupid name as such, but a friend of mine who despite being a petrol head, had no idea he'd named his daughter after a 1904 Darracq.

that poor poor child who was murdered.

Said it before, said it again (working in housing) you just know parents who call their children names like this are going to be unfit, nutters, layabouts, violent and everything else. Roll forward 15/18 years, the children just end up being similar dysfunctional adults.

Oh, the shame...

Just discovered a child is called Neveah at my kids school.
I know it's been mentioned before but I'd never come across it in the wild.

I saw that on the news last night and said something to the effect of, "there ought to be a direct alert to Social Services the moment they rock up at the Registry Office"

I was in a bank Tuesday afternoon with my lad, behind us was a woman and child, the child was in a buggy but tried getting out, then the woman screeched loudly " Storm bloody sit down" My lad whispered to me i bet she's council.. told my Mother who is a Manager at a Chemist, she deals with job applications as well, to her stupid names equals stupid people equals no chance of a job interview.

India.
Bonus points if your vitriolic troll of a mother dislikes children named after geographical locations and can't see the irony, even if you explained it with a flip chart and some hand puppets.

Fortunately the powers that be may it such that we never get a Storm Aiiishea or Storm Kayden. Wouldn't sound right on Radio 4.

Posted on a local newspaper Facebook in response to a child called 'Ryker' (which I always thought was a prison in New York)

"I have an almost 9-year old...."

So, an 8-year old?

That annoys me far more than it should.

Your user name could be her next child's Christian name.

The big risers? Harper for girls and Jaxon for boys.



Jaxon...?

[DRFC1879]

This is why we should never hold a referendum in this country. We're putting our fate in the hands of people who think "Jaxon" is an actual name for a human child.

My wife works at a school, just had a child start called 'Ocean'...

I hope as he gets older he* doesn't suffer from tides.

• Actually I'm not sure if it's a boy or girl.

The Facebook Filter would sort that out though.

You can have a facebook profile, or the vote. Free choice for everyone, and the results would be the finest electorate in the West and a glorious future for all.
