Ping's real name is Boo. Phew. At least the kid has a normal human name now.

He will probably try to sneakily swap places with Walt at some stage .!

Boo has been assigned female at birth and Walt has been assigned male at birth ... but if they swap places we will hardly be able to tell

Hate to disagree but nature did the "assigning" about 8 months and three weeks ago.

They are. Boo is a boy's name - cf To Kill A Mockingbird.

I was being ironic

Boo is the girl. They had a boy and a girl. Walt is the boy. Why do I know this? This is stupid to know.

Isnt it strange how so many " celebrities " feel the need to call their children some odd name ? I presume much of it is oneupmanship and attention seeking

Well this would be your area but the National Union of Students (UK I think) has just published a campaign document that includes a push for the ending of "coercive" assignment of gender at birth. Those coercive midwife bee-atches!

Yeah I heard that, I was even told (after telling a story about my mother's experience having me) that she "had no business doing that to you" - when told she was happy her first was a girl. Says me, "Why ?" - reply came "How did she know you were a girl ?".

Well granted it was the late 60s but still - scan, after the cord was removed - nothing but net etc etc.

Mental stuff!! In 22 years before she passed she never once treated me like anything but her child - if I wanted to play and watch sport, she was all over that; when I screamed like a banshee at a spider - she'd run and get my dad to kill it and when on my 21st I bought her a pint and one for myself and my aunt said "not very ladylike that is it now ?" she told her to f**k off!!!!

She had a daughter alright but stereotypes were not welcome in our house!!!

What??

Someone in the late 60s didn't know the difference between a boy and a girl?

Scans? Then??

'nothing but net' ???

I really hate to be the person who does this, but that has to be lies.

I simply refuse there is a person in this world who didn't realise it wasn't a good idea to call their offspring "Foster Child"

Its unfortunate but that was his name when he was legally adopted by a lovely couple from South Africa, surname Child.

His original name was Foster Enda Allen.

Gwen Cooper · 21-09-2018 1:27pm

Lovely James.

James being the surname.

Moved into a new house recently, had some initial issues with the head of the residents board who lives a few doors down.

Was looking after my sisters dog at the time, big female GSD (the dog, not the sister) named Fia. Fia was not well behaved and required me roaring her name at her to stop her behaving like a lunatic in my back garden.

Head of residents board arrived to my door one evening asking why I kept shouting her daughters name....

Fia.

beans · 21-09-2018 1:36pm

Girl in my daughter's class named 'Thea', but the North London accent reduces it to 'Fia' innit?

And I thought "Fiadh wouldn't be a half-bad name"

I know a woman called Titti.
Honest to G*d it's her real name.
Think she's Swedish or something like that but still...

Daisy Boo Pamela

I googled out of curiosity for weird baby names xD

Dakota Dan · 22-09-2018 10:56am

Imogen has to be up there in the top ten. It sounds like bad perfume. What happens when she gets married as she will no longer be a maiden?

The worst kid's name you've ever heard?
