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...

I just met a Bonead. Like Sinead only Bon. Can't do fadas on my laptop.

Never heard it before but apparently it is a name! I just think it's a bit ugly.

I just did a Google for the name Bonead, first search returned was for a guy on Facebook with the name Bonead Lemon :eek:

My friend who is called Lucy married a guy with the surname Lucy. She changed her name for personal reasons but not for work. She has recently had her first baby which she named Lucy. We all thought it was a joke, but no

Bear Payne makes me smile every time .Did Cheryl and Liam not put both names together and see that it actually meant something ? I mean bear pain ? Really ?

Dash.

...and it seems to be becoming more popular.

I know it's short for Dashiel, which is an awful name in its own right anyway, but it sounds like you've named the child after a punctuation sign/couldn't be bothered to give the child a real name.

That's not an Irish name, most obviously because it's not fulfilling the 'caol le caol, leathan le leathan' spelling rule. Although it's a good story to tell 13-year-old boys. The only name in the Irish approximating Sinéad with a 'B' that I can think of is the surname Binéid, which is the Irish for the common Hiberno-Norman surname Bénet (from the first name Benoît), which is anglicised Bennett.

Surnames as firstnames, and firstnames as surnames. There's a lad on the Wexford hurling team, and his name is Redmond Barry. What were the parents thinking?
I also know a lad and his name is Dermot McDermot. I call him Seamus McSeamus.

I don't usually get too offended by names but I was reading an article and a child was called Woolf with the double O. Poor child. He's a child, not an animal.

I've only ever heard of one Eira, she's a friend of mine from schoolI... you talking about my mate?! I like it, apparently it's actually a Welsh name meaning "Snowy"

I was introduced, in Scotland, to a fella from Galway. I didnt catch the spelling, but his name was either Erk, Irk or Urk. All I can think is that he mustve been a difficult birth.

Also, i like traditional Irish names like Conor and Orla, but I encountered a family from south Dublin who named all their 5 kids after obscure Irish mythological characters, there was a Tiarnach and a Raghnaill and a Brustaighort and a Fochnochnochnochnoch and a few others. W@nky enough in Ireland, but imagine trying to travel with them.

When I first started listening to Fleetwood mac, I only had the CD cover to go by. I was reading the names on it and trying to figure out who was who so I assumed Lyndsey was one of the girls and Stevie, one of the boys

Isn't that a guy's name? I think one of Frank Kelly's characters was a Gubnet O' Lunasa.

It might be Erc. There's a lot of St Erc stuff where I live and a fair few Erics who might be named after him.

Tiarnach ( Lord ) is a lovely name . And do you mean Fachtna with that last name . I have a family member with that name and he has travelled far and wide with no problem . And i am quite sure non of them are called Brustaighort either
Funnily enough it's mainly in Ireland that people seem to have issues with our names . I have a traditional Irish name and found foreign people very willing to learn how to say it
