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

...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...

Tristum.

It sounds like one of the many depressingly undereducated attempts at avoiding a correct spelling. In this case, the historic Tristan of late medieval Tristan and Iseult fame. Although, this is felicitous.

Yeah seeing as we're into the usual anti-Irish ethnic stereotypes being belched out, and thanked, by the usual cultural cringe suspects I much prefer all those nasal-sounding,snortled English names like Harry, Charles, George, David, Jack and John. Oh the sweet, dulcet, mellifluous civilised tones of the Queen's English, old chap. Snortle.

They're twins.

Luckily they'll be babies forever. Imagine they had to grow up and go to school and poor Zeppy is overweight and Arrow might not be the sharpest arrow in the quiver.

He was living in the UK and was a right twat. He thought he was from Oasis and used to walk like them randomly down the street plus had exactly the same hairstyle.

Man of God, Fear Dia.

I love the Tain tales. I always wished that Ferdia had won and not that bender CuChullain.

Lyle is a pretty ropey name.

also Fergus for the exact opposite reason

Yeah Fergus/Feargal were real nothing names back in the day.

The more modern equivalent would be Aaron.

They don't even sit well with most Irish surnames.

Those names are a complete vacuum.

A work colleague called her son ferdia. . Genuinely thought she was messing. . Also thought another colleague was joking when she blabbed on about what a great name it is. I feel like she's still taking the piss

Jaxon with the X is dreadful. It reminds me of growing up and our da might ask, "Did you leave the light in the jax on?"

I would find that difficult, as I.like to get things right! It depends on the circumstance when spelling your name too. I don't care how Starbucks etc. attempts to spell my name but emails, reservations, appointments etc. are fairly important to get right.

It matters in an e-mail address because computers are fairly dim but, to be honest, it's rarely important in other contexts. Really, what does it matter if somebody's appointment diary shows "Tim Green" instead of "Tim Greene" to see Dr. Bloggs at 8:30? When Tim Greene shows up, he'll be seen.

Trivial fact of the day: we have six surviving signatures by William Shakespeare. He uses five different spellings of his own name (and none of them are the spelling that we use). It's not a problem unless you decide it's a problem.

Peregrinus

I tried to solve this problem by not caring how people spell my name.

This works up to a point. If people don't ask how I spell it, and then use a spelling which is not the one I use, that's not a problem. But if people ask how they should spell it, and I say "I really don't mind how you spell it" or words to that effect, for some reason they find that very hard to accept.

I have an uncommon first name that almost always needs spelling, and my surname has a different spelling than usual so when asked my name I have to say my first name and spell it, then say my second name and say it has x instead of y. I am so used to it now but as a kid I hated both my names being slightly awkward.

X instead of Y, that is unusual

I have to do the phone spelling all the time, with both names. Its frustrating when they don't get it even you c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e-l-y to spell it out... twice.

If only phonetics weren't involved.

And then you never get the email you spelt out to them and you phone them only for them to say yep I sent it to i-n-c-o-r-r-e-c-t-spelling@email. Nope that's not the spelling I gave you. Three times!
