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

I heard a woman talking on the phone about little Skylar. It was even worse when I realised that Skylar was a girl.

I was once served in McDonalds by a lad who had the name Thadeus on his name badge.

There is a little girl who lives near me who is called Chardonnay

Shaneese

A former neighbour of mine called her kid that. Just sounds like a name you would give your child if she was from an African background. It doesn't belong to a pasty white Irish child. Hate when parents go over the top to give their kid a "unique" name.

Every day until the child was around 5 when the family moved you would hear the following sentences from my bedroom.

"Shaneese your dinners ready"
"Shaneese, Bed time"
Mother roars like something from The Exorcist "Shaneese, GET UP THEM STAIRS NOOOOOOOOW!"

That name and her mother done my head in!

The child was lovely though, very well mannered. I'd change her name if I could, it annoys me that much.

My name is Joe and I endorse this decision.

Character from Breaking Bad. Seems to be popular this year. Also Jesse from the series for a boy.

This child seemed to be a few years old, from the conversation I was eavesdropping on. Shockin' name all the same.

That was because he was afraid of brain damage in the ring and figured that if the worst happened he'd at least be able to remember his own name.

Aonas(pronounced "anus")

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but there is a McDonagh family in Tyrone with a Beyonce and a Hannah Montana.

I really hate this. Mate of mine, his brother in law has a hoard of kids, all named after Manure players. Wife gave birth to number 6 or 7 there last summer, so he got named Robin. Pathetic.

A woman in my town has 3 daughters. Destiny, Trinity and Honey-Louise.

Any parent inflicting a name like those should have their children taken off them.

Why name your kids after a football player? If the player moves to an opposing team, will you hate the child?

Although my dad DID want to name my brother Kevin when he was born, after Kevin Hunt. Mam rather quickly talked him out of it though.

To be fair, what other people call their children is none of our fcuking business.

I met a guy who told me that he named his eldest son, Cullen, after Cuchullain - the mythical gaelic warrior.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that in the story, Cullen was the owner of the hound that Setanta slew.

Setanta had to replace the hound, and thus became known as the hound of Cullen (Cu - Chullain) from then on.




Make sure to research the names a little before going to the registry office.

Legolas.

fair enough it sounded grand in Lord of the Rings but in 'real life'? Nah. Just plain ridiculous.

It is when they are screeching it at the top of their lungs on a confined, packed carriage of the LUAS. Preceded by an "Ah Jaysis" and followed by "I'll bleedin' bate ya!"

Mother on bus speaking to her child: "Wivonney. Take your feet off the seats"
Fellow passenger: "What an unusual name. How do you spell it?"
Mother: "Y V O N N E"

Batsheeba. No word of a lie.

Hassan was another one. Which was only unusual because the yongfella was a ginger Scottish kid whose parents had converted to Islam.

lolosaur

there was a "CLAMIDIA" got on the no. 40 bus with her darling mother this morning. thought of here.

Also another beaut; I know a fella from Togher in Cork who met a Maori woman while building out in Australia.

They now have a child called Tamarange Murphy.

Actually most names ending with an eka or ika. They tend to be chosen by scumbags and our nomadic brethren, who for some bizarre reason, think that they are classy names:D

I actually like the name Skyler for a girl. Though everyone would associate it with Breaking Bad now.

Boy or girl? If it's a girl she could get away with being called Tammy. Not sure how you'd shorten it for a boy though.

I can't think of too many awful names off hand. I met a girl called Map once, and apparently it wasn't short for anything and wasn't a nickname. I don't necessarily think it's a bad name but it's certainly a weird one.

Cousin of mine has a daughter called Rianna but she was born before the singer ever became famous. They might be regretting that name choice now! :pac:

CollyFowler

I know a Rhonda and an Alvin.

Fratton Fred

I met a Senga from Kilmarnock once. Odd name I thought, until it was explained to me that there was a huge amount of girls named Agnes and it became too common, so to make it a bit exotic, it got reversed.
