    It's like a treasure chest of ridiculous names.

    Briar Octavia. She was born last Friday. I live in Canada so it might be an Okay name here. My husband would call me a briar if I was having a rant at him so we do find the name a bit funny.

    Do the parents own a Skoda dealership by any chance?

    Twins on a birthday call-out thingy on CBBC:
    Emmanuel and...
    Emmanuela
    Was one of them a surprise and they had run out of name ideas?!!

    There was an Emanuel and an Emanuela in a school I used to teach in. They were siblings but not twins. The parents were Romanian.

    For the lazy, a flock of seagulls attacked a family with children called Nova, Romey and Vega. I don't blame them.

    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 had a Jaydn in my class in a school in New Zealand and his brother was Jaxxon with two xs.

    Larry is definitely a name to avoid.

    While it mightn't be the best name, it's better than most names in this thread.

    Traveller family called their daughter LaRośa with a squiggle over the s. LaRośa McDonnell.

    I was at a work/family thing a couple of weeks ago, and discovered I have a colleague who has a child called Sunshine. Even more weirdly, Sunshine has a brother with a perfectly ordinary, bog-standard Irish name.

    I used to work with a guy who used to come up with little (politically incorrect) additions to female colleagues names. We worked with a Phyllis, to whom he always referred as "Phyllis up there big boy". There was also a "Siobhan your knickers, your mother's coming" and several others I have, thankfully, forgotten.

    Ms Farrelly's children, Romey (15), Nova (5) and Vega (2), and Ms Grehan's children, Jacob (13), Summer (10), Elijah (7) and Aurora (2), were with them during the incident.

    Any one of those could have been the seagull's moniker. 'Romey the killer chip gull'... my mate named his springer spaniel Roamey ffs.

    I'd say she's a right little miss.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    A skanger at work called her daughter 'Scwarma'. Pronounced the same as the kebab.

    Scwarma? Sounds like a disease. Or something bees get up to if the weather's too hot.

    Where are you going with Yes, and why haven't you drawn our attention to her name before now?

    I know of a Kyle, but spelled Kylle. Its meant to be an anagram for moms name, her name is Kelly. Why can't the just spell it properly?
