    I read an article in a newspaper interviewing someone called Eucharia - fairly messed up name. It went on to explain that she was named after the Eucharist, that would be my life ruined.

    River Phoenix' parents they called their kids:

    River Jude, Rainbow Joan of Arc, Joaquin Raphael (changed his name to "Leaf" for a while), Libertad Mariposa (Liberty Butterfly) and Summer Joy.

    Also, it's worth noting their last name was Bottom until they decided to change it to Phoenix.

    [edit]
    Oh, also that guy in the Army (US of course...) that changed his name to Optimus Prime :rolleyes:

    cool - I didnt know that, they are strange but not as strange as the other two.

    Frank was probably on low doses that day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    Strange names. I came across this site...famous people's real names...some very strange ones and very ordinary ones...

    Vin Diesel's real name -> Mark Vincent

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,269 ✭✭✭p.pete


    Puff Daddy - what kind of a stupid name is that. I know his original name wasn't much better but he could have gone for anything.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭Tha Gopher


    People who have the same first name as surname e.g Robert Roberts,Donald McDonald,Martin Martin etc.Id shoot my parents if I had a name like that.

    And I think somebody on the today FM news is called McGay or something.Poor dude.

    Did you ever read the likes of The Times?When they are talking about parenting or education there is always an interview with an upper class parent or columnist with kids whos names are Elwood,Monty,Sebastian and a host of other names last popular with lords and ladys of the 15th century.These people are total spanners-theyre worse than these skangers who call their daughters names like Britney and Shakira.

    i go to a predominatly protestant school and its filled with these moronic double-barrelled names (apparently its cos when families marry and the wifes family is of particular "stature", they join the name to the husbands...:rolleyes: )

    I had to go through these lists of 1st years a while ago.. heres some examples.

    younghusband
    watchorn
    goodwilly
    and calder-potts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 517 ✭✭✭hacktavist


    Talliesin who posts on these forums has 2 kids called sadhbh and Béibhinn.
    Original to say the least.

    The French government has a review body for what names parents want to give kids. I joke you not. It's to prevent people naming their kids things like "chair" and "sink" which one family tried.

    look in your phone book and see is there people with the second name squirrel. If there is look for one whos first name starts with A, andrew anthony etc.
    If there is phone the number and ask to speak to a squirrel. you know... for the laugh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Selik


    For the people on here who are and aren't football fans...

    Gary and Phil Nevilles' Dad is called... Wait for it - Neville Neville!
    Is that an utterly stupid and ridiculous name or what? I mean what were his parents thinking when they decided to call him that! :eek:

    My name is kind of unusual I suppose as well, it's Giles, the same as my boards.ie name! :)

    Irish names can be cool though. Those two for example are really nice. Of course, there are Irish names, that I find both weird, and not nice. Roise being one of them (pronounced Raw-sha). Caemin being another.

    There's a client of ours called Willy McGee (I kid you not).

    I tend not to notice weird names when people are introduced to me unless they're really long or weird sounding. Maximillian for exampe.

    To be fair to wacko, that's only a nickname. His kid's real name is Prince Michael II. Not a huge improvement over blanket, but I know which one I'd certainly prefer

    Justin Credible

    I remember someone telling me that there was a bloke called "Roger Mee" in his school for a while. Apparently the guy didn't seem to last very long in any school, and his parents couldn't work out why...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭nosmo


    frank Zappa had two kids.

    He had a lot more than that. When he went on tour, he told his pregnany wife to name the child Motorhead if it was a boy

    when i got my first mobile last year it kept breaking down, i was upset greatly by the whole thing. so i went back to the shop to get it fixed. anyway the lady behind the counter took my name and address and then took the phone and sent it off to the UK to get it fixed and she handed me a receipt. stupid bitch wrote my name down as "Seman Ryan". stupid cow.

    anyway i thought better of this and said nothing, it happened in the past and i was used to it, my name is spelt quite similar to the word seman. but pronounced very very differently.

    so a few days later i got a phone call on another mobile, borrowed my brothers. the person on the other end was looking for a "Seman Ryan". man was i pissed off. i could hear laughter in the background. the were all laughing at me. my blood began to boil. i said, "no sorry you have the wrong number, there is noone hear who goes by the name of seman, stupid. there is a s***n (insert my real name) though but he is too angry and pissed off with you right now to talk to you. so ring back later."

    she did, ha. got my phone fixed, and a big apology from her. stupid cow.

    im not going back there again. im irish, how many irish people do you know that have the first name as seman. come on people, wake up and smell the spunk. have some cop on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote

    I once knew a guy called Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabidoo. He used to cry a lot.
