    Emma and Liam are the only acceptable ones in that photo. The rest sound like colours of paint you'd get at B&Q or minor airports in the Nevada/New Mexico area.

    The majority of this person's grandchildren have awful names...

    I'm guessing the same type of person who also called their child Maddox.

    What's the bet that Liam & Emma are brother and sister with no other siblings.

    Charlie Bird? :) Actually I was thinking someone that likes Nicolas Cage but of course you can't call him Nicolas so it has to be Cage even though it isn't even his real name. :)

    How do you say that? Jay-ron or Joy-ron. It's always J names isn't it. Jaxon, Jayden, Jarren, Jarrell, Jairon, Jayce... and that's just the boys.

    I have a buddy who's one of seven siblings and they all have a name starting with J. Their mam's name begins with J too!!

    ... I remember years back every morning on the Inca trail we would have strawberry jam with breakfast. The brand was Fanny so it was a red jar labelled fanny jam.

    In some countries you can also get Ghee (a type of butter), which might have tasted very nice when spread with your jam ... on a croissant.

    Fanny is a funny old name, with one meaning here & a different meaning there, whilst also being the pet name for Francis, I think?

    There's a primary school in Limerick that has 3 Shakira's in one class, all of whom are cousins. One of the Shakira's has a little sister called Lady Gaga.

    That's not the worst name tbh, it's the Irish for Louise.
    Sometimes spelled Laoise, or pronounced as Laveesha.

    People love throwing redundant letters into Irish names to make them more obnoxious. Laoise is a beautiful name, spelling it like "Laoghaise/Laobhaise" is ridiculous.

    Other similar examples are:

    Caoilfhionn -> Caoilinn
    Maedbh -> Maebh
    Caoimhseach -> I don't know any other version of this but I just thought I'd throw it in there cos I hate it :pac:


    And before any Gaelgeoirs attack me, I know some of the above are the more traditional spellings, but that doesn't mean I can't complain about them :p
