In your opinion.

There really is some awful names out there, most of them come from ill witted/down right stupid parents who are trying to be 'original' and don't take into account how the child may have to live and socialise with a name like 'Tempist' or 'Sheinaka' in Ireland , tbh it's selfish.

Celebrity culture at it's worst , at least with 'famous' kids they all go to high paying , private schools and they all have stupid names. They won't be down in the local public school getting beaten up or abused.

I wonder how many of those kids will grow up and tell Mammy and Daddy that their gob****es and want to change their name. If I had been called 'Science station' or 'Lamendei' I'd bloody well tell my parents their idiots.

Or just normal parents who like Irish names and/or wanted to honour their Irish heritage (continued by sending their child to a Gael Scoil)...

Or just utter twats

Rhonda is a fairly old Welsh name, and Alvin is more common than you'd think in the UK, since most of them understandably go by Al.

I know a kid called Aleesha, spelled like that. Prefer the more trad Alicia myself.

I think you are mistaken names you don't like for bad names.

Tequila - bad name.

Irish name - something you personally don't like.

If I got to India and start saying all Indian parents who give their kids Hindi/other Indian names are twats I would be asked "What do you expect, it's India?" I kinda expect Irish names in Ireland.

Oh dear god this is the worst name ever.

I went to a wedding where my OH’s mother spent half the dinner trying to get her cousin’s attention, so she kept shouting “Aeneas! Aeneas!” which to my ear was her shouting “Anus! Anus!” across the posh dinner table.

I had to try to bury my violent laughter in my wine glass and ended up spilling wine all down myself. Still laughing at the memory of it. Why the hell would you call your child Anus?? Can't believe he didn't legally change his name the second he was old enough.

Can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet:

Bill Lear, founder of the Lear Jet corporation (private jets) called his daughter Shanda.
He knowingly did so, having been known to have a good sense of humour...

That's just fúcking cruel.

Penn Jillette called his daughter Moxie Crimefighter Jillette.

That's some name to live up to if you're not a superhero.

I remember someone on boards started a thread about wanting to call her child India but she wanted to double-barrel it with another name so it would be something like India-May or India-Jane and was looking for suggestions. I think India Telephone Exchange, India Takeaway and India-Najones were the most thanked offerings but I don't think they were really appreciated by the OP.

India-Najones

I can just imagine people saying things like

"My Aeneas gave me awful trouble as a teenager"
"You should have the state of my Aeneas after all that drink over Xmas"
"The Fire Brigade was the best thing to happen to my Aeneas"
:D

I know a Rhonda whose father was called Ron, and apparently she was conceived in the Rhondda Valley in Wales. Her parents sort of had to call her Rhonda after of that...

Yeah but it seems like there was a rebirth of these horrible names in the 80s. None of my older relatives or anyone I know from that generation (baby boomers) has one of these odd Irish names. They dug them out of stories about Na Fianna etc. when the whole Gaelic revival thing started, they should have been left where they were, as they are so gross and cause mass confusion outside of Ireland.

I remember being in a supermarket years ago and a mother called out "Sue Ellen and Bobby come here to me". True story

Saoirse, really?

I always thought that was a nice, inoffensive name. It will probably become even more popular with Saoirse Ronan popping up in even more films.
