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

I started a job. My manager was called Aeneas. My colleagues told me to pronounce it aon-ee-as not anus....or face the consequences!

If you had a name like that, I can't understand why you wouldn't just use your middle name (or in fact any other random name of your choosing), rather than getting pissed off at people for obvious jokes (or innocent mispronunciations.)

I've heard of a perfectly genuine Nefertiti. A little girl of 4, - true fact.

(My sister's friend was a teacher in the USA and it was one of her pupils.)

And the doting parents really did call her "Titi" - who in the world would DO that to a child?

Saw via a friend of a friend on Facebook, a guy called Brutus. Seriously?!

It didn't bother me until I came to Dublin and everyone* pronounced it 'Dane'.

Would the Fingal pronunciation not be dee-in?

Nailed it. Spelling things phonetically isn't my strong point. Although it sounded more like dae-in to my ears rather than dee.

Most of the bad ones lately have been double barrel first names and surnames. There was Felix though, scabby name for a child. Also Jolie and Perin who are both girls. Oh and Eireabella.

I caught some of the Athletics World Championships on TV last week and watched the women's 100m final, won by Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica. She used to just be Shelly-Ann Fraser, then got married. Why would you stick on the Pryce to an already-long name, especially when you're competing? I understand that she didn't want to change her name, that's fine, and I also understand the double-barreling, but for competition you'd think she'd have kept the old, short form. Listening to Steve Cram trying say 'Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce' five or more times in a 10-second race was hilarious.

Wish this was fake but it isnt.

Few months ago we had a reservation in my restaurant for a "Herr Bols"... I.e Mr Bols.

They arrived (10 of them) with 2 kids and the kids were running around all night causing a bit of trouble which I and my staff were having none of. I asked the wife of Herr Bols to please keep the kids under control and she proceeded to call "Robert and Dicky please sit with us, the man is giving out. You are causing too much trouble..."

It took me 15 minutes to realise the kid was called Dicky.

Dicky Bols.

Mother of god. I cried.

Ah I have a cousin dee-in from Cabra so I have had years of practice! No Jacinteh in the family though.

My father, while working in England in the late 60's, briefly went out with a girl called Mary Balls.

I hope you are trolling here! That is a horrendous attitude if you are for real. The child could be the sweetest most wonderful little boy and you write him off coz his parents give him a chavvy name? I hope your darling Saoiseaoibhinnaineeilbhe realises what a horrible parent she has.

I had a lad on my team, from india, called Phani. Pronounced Fanny. I had real trouble talking about him without laughing to myself.
This lad was very unlucky. Always getting sick or having accidents or some drama. Fanny got soaked. An accident with Fanny. Fanny is smiling at me. Fanny caused a commotion. Fanny is not working....
His son is called Phani too. Little Fanny.

That's why I said I hoped you were trolling. Unfortunately I know a nasty person who has similar views. She got very excited that her daughter was friends with a doctors daughter, only to find out it was another kid from the council estate with the same name that her daughter was friends with. The invite to the birthday party that had been sent out was rescinded hastily as she didn't want her daughter to be friends with the "lesser" child. Disgusting how people can be.

Ah yeah, as if that excuses your abuse.
What did the parent say when you told them what you thought of them?
