Giuseppe?

In fairness it's very hard to imagine that in an inner-city Dub accent!

Clement is awful.

I knew a Barry once, and I never really understood it. I mean, he was a very much loved wanted child. So why call him Barry, of all things?

To be honest i didn't think it was too bad,but unfortunately for poor clem,the rest of the estate didn't share my live and live outlook. A name like Clement just isnt practical in places like my old area.
Funnily enough, in the same area,parents find it perfectly acceptable to call their sons Wayne, that's ten times poxier than Clement will ever be.

The boy with the name Bellend (has no meaning in Dutch whatsoever) better stays out of English speaking countries i suppose.

Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, received an award from the South African government under an unwelcome nickname
after his Wikipedia entry was apparently sabotaged. The 74-year-old was recognised with the Order of The Companions of O R
Tambo for his contribution over the World Cup. However, an official website announcing the accolade referred to the Swiss as
“Joseph Sepp Bellend Blatter”.

I worked with one guy in Dublin called Ronald Mc Donald, obviously he was soo fed up of the cheeseburger jokes.

Another lad I was at college with was called Swintan Sex, seriously college lecturers didn't believe it was his real name.

There is a Prof. Ronald McDonald who's name was on the top of most
of my uni exam papers. I never expected it, got me every time.

I worked with a guy called Willy Brett. Heading for 50 now, so hardly a child - but still fúcking hell!

We had a teacher in school called Ronald "Ronnie" McDonald. Legend had it he took the rugby team to McDonald's after a match and they threatened to call the cops when he tried to pay by cheque.

He had curly red hair too.

A very common surname in the UK.

New of a child called Richard Slicker. When registration was called at school in the morning he was referred to merely as R. Slicker.

I knew him growing up. Was friendly with his sister too. He wasn't a bad looking chap if I recall correctly! I once used his sister's birth cert to get into a niteclub in Rosslare and had to try hide my nordy accent and put on a Wexford one when the bouncers questioned me. Aw I miss the early 90's!

buck65 · 15-01-2015 5:07pm

I bet ye called him Norman.

buck65 · 15-01-2015 5:08pm

Along those lines we had a teacher called Mr Fap Challenge.
You can imagine the nicknames.

I hope it was you who was friendly with his sister, not him:pac: Did he qualify as a teacher after? I thought he was a bit too timid for the job tbh.

I was reading a history book about the 1700s and there was a bloke whose real name was Clotworthy Skeffington.

I'm a research student investigating the 1600s, and the one of the best names I've come across is a man named Christmas Spurgent. Truly awful, although many people had names we would consider hilarious now.

No a kids name, but one I just spotted on Facebook all the same

Klaraghkaitlyn, as one word. What's wrong with C's and dashes?

seventeen sheep · 14-02-2015 6:57am

One I just came across - Elyscia.

"I love the name Elisha but the spelling is way too common, so I made it a little bit different."

Yuck.

I just saw an article in a French newspaper this morning, a couple from Perpignan wanted to call their child Mini-cooper! This is the same town where someone else wanted to call their child Nutella. There must be something in the water.
