    Shauna

    It's my name, and I hate it. Even if it wasn't my name, I would probably still hate it. I can't put my finger on it, but I curse my mam to this day for calling me that. Her first choice was Ruth which I would accept

    I like Shauna (its not my name in case you think thats why:pac:)..compared to some others I think you did ok.

    a uk radio presenter called his son buzz.
    Wait til he goes to school ,
    people will tell him buzz off etc
    there should be a test ,
    if the name is stupid use it as a middle name .
    People should not be allowed to use up random words as a name.

    We should all take a moment to feel bad for these Khylarrees and Braysons as they will never see their sh*tty made up names on Coke bottles thanks to their parents.

    I know a guy called Kim.

    He's a Kiwi, not a slight bit Asian..

    I have an Irish male friend called Kim (he's a boardsie actually :D). His parents are Irish too.

    Worst I've ever heard is someone calling their baby daughter Isis... within the past 12 months.

    ...because I think I can beat them all. I swear I considered strangling the poor little bugger to death for his own good. Sit down. Calmly take a deep breath and prepare yourself...

    Isis.

    ...aaaaand we're back to the start!

    The children in my son's class have little name tags on their desks. I just saw the name "Brayan" - pronounced Brian. Now I know sometimes it's hard for French people to pronounce foreign names but Brian? Really? BRAYAN? It's awful.

    Like a donkey! Poor kid.

    In French, it IS pronounced the same as Brian but God, what an ugly spelling.

    I always think it is in the same category as Piper.

    A customer asked me to put the name of her new born child on an item she had bought from me.

    Dixie-Rae

    And in her finest Dublin accent,

    " You won't forget to put the subtraction mark between the two names will ya?"

    So it's Dixie minus Rae?

    To be fair its not really their fault some braindead tools in the crazy east are trying to steal a cool name.

    Everyone over there calls em Daesh. Why? cos its similar to the arab word for Bigot! :D

    Friends have named their baby boy with the middle name Drico. At least they'd the decency not to make it his first name

    I really dislike the name Toby. I don't really know why, I just know I hate it.

    Just back from Florida and heard a guy in the airport giving out to his two kids....Miguel and Cornelius. :p

    That sounds to me more like a name for a dog.

    Nothing wrong with Miguel unless you are talking about my most recent ex and then there is a hellavua lot wrong.

    Why would any parent inflict Cornelius on their child though?

    A cousin in America's daughter just had a baby girl last week and while am not dying about her first name Bianca I like that her 2nd name is Ireland.

    Salóg. It's obviously Irish. But it sounds so stupid

    Thank you! I heard a dad calling his kid that last month and thought WTF but couldn't remember it for this thread.
    Why you would inflict that on a child is beyond me. It will only suit him when he hits his 60's.

    Just saw on Facebook that an acquaintance has had a little girl.

    She's named her Sloane Beverly.

    Beverly is bad enough as a middle name, but Sloane as a first name? Seriously?

    I'm thinking that she must have had a very tough birth, and really hates the poor kid.

    What a shit start in life!

    Wasn't the girl in Ferris Bueller Sloane?
    However, Sloane Beverly sounds like a 2nd rate leisure centre.
