    On the bright side, they're spelled correctly/intuitively. At least they're not Trahk, Trygg, Brystel, Wylloh and Pyeper.

    Didn't Micheal Jackson have a kid named Blanket?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,280 ✭✭✭✭Eric Cartman


    theres a few mad names, but spelling normal names in strange ways is worse

    orlagh instead of orla , timm (with 2 m's) etc... is just the torture posh cúnts enflict on their kids

    actually also naming your kids after a car make/model or something religious like faith, hope etcc is also weird


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,589 ✭✭✭Reg'stoy


    Carly is a name that just creeps me out, come on seriously who names a child Carly.

    hope isn't a religious word.

    Faith and Hope are the most lightweight of religious/virtue names...and not so bad imo. The Puritans apparently used Silence, Obedience and Hate-Evil as names...

    yeah, whats wrong with that name?:p
    i dunno, i think theres room in the world for weird and normal names, i know people with really unusual names and they just suit them and some really simple names are lovely too,,, lalala, *skips off into the sunset*

    Ye some of these names are a bit in the mad side but I think its equally strange that parents name there kids such common names, I think in one of my classes in school i was one of six Davids.

    I'm not saying I would have liked to be called brooklyn but surely parents could try be a bit more creative.

    I hate artsy fartsy Irish names like:
    Iseult
    Isolde
    Fionnain
    Laochra
    etc etc

    Generally kids called these names are usual offspring of parents who bring their kids to art galleries and don't care if their darlings annoy everyone else.

    Well, Mr and Mrs Simon obviously thought it was a nice name....

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Simon

    On a more serious note, naming a child is probably one of the most important thing you will ever do and some people need a slap around the ear for some of the names they have given to their kids.

    Maybe we should do as Sweden does and have an approved list of names which you have to choose from.

    Didn't she go off the rails ?
    In which case pretty apt name me thinks. :D

    if everyone stuck to the usual classic names that are deemed suitable by the high and mighty you would be calling someone outside and half the street would turn around
    saynig that there is a line that you go over with naming someone that is just crazy...(geri halliwell calling her baby "bluebell"...its after a cow for heavens sake)

    The really annoying thing about some Irish names is that they're not spelt correctly.If you were French and had accent grave/aigu on your name,it'd be used properly.
    Here,you nearly need to bribe people to get them to use fadas on names,wouldn't annoy me so much except this is Ireland and therefore shouldn't be an issue.
    As for showing people how to 'do' fada on computer......don't get me started.:mad:

    My OH works in a gym for kids and some of the names she tells me are almost made up. Here's a few

    Spancko
    Chinazo
    Miracle (boy)
    Precious (girl)
    Nonie
    Apollanara
    Nap


    Miracle and Precious are brother and sister.... Poor kids

    actually also naming your kids after a car make/model or something ... is also weird
    like that guy who named his daughter mercedes, just because he owned the company...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Black people naming their newborns, bloody hell! D'ayshun, Zackqwow are some of the weirdest. Very difficult looking up a library card for the child. Oh silly me, of course there is an apostrophe in there, I should have know! :o

    People who name their children after who was number one in the charts should be shot.

    Your britneys, christinas, shakira, rihannas et al.

    Au contraire.

    Look up Mercedes Benz history.

    You'll find that the company was named after his daughter.

    I was in the local Post office a while back and a woman was calling her young girl over to her. The child was called Ibiza. Think she took the whole naming kids after were they are conceived fad a little too far!

    I see nothing wrong with this one to be fair, just because a name is used in a book or by some artist or someone who's just famous for some stupid reason doesn't mean it's off limits for everyone else.

    I know a lad called Paul - idiot parents named him after some mythical character in a book written by a bunch of paedophiles based on a story made up by some bird who got herself knocked up by the local carpenter !

    Everyone in Ireland should be called Paddy ( North ) and Mick ( south ) - that'll solve it.
