Bosco is another name I hate, not sure though if it really exists as a real name, or if it's just an urban myth or joke name?

There was a “holy” lad about, back in the day, called John Bosco. Think he’s on his way to becoming a saint.

Have only met two people with the name, both were from Donegal.

There are a few girls names in Irish I like

Caoimhe is one of them

I like Cliodhna also and Aoife

maybe people are opting for names of tv characters that pop up out of boxes etc cos I was out the other day and a dad called his kid Oscar

I had to double look as I thought he had a dog and was calling it, but no a small kid. God help him

Problems arise with (difficult to pronounce) names when you travel & live outside this little country...

Always found “Mondo” the most irksome character name from that show.

ah ya, I remember we had a guy over working with us from the UK and he needed to get himself setup for a swipe card for the doors on a site

He asked me who deals with it on site and I wrote her name down for him

Siobhan O'Brien

The whole room was in stitches when he called her up and asked to speak to SY-OBB-HAN

Spending your whole life having to spell out your name is a pain in the arse.

Even with well known Irish names, with the most common spelling, in Ireland, you can guarantee that most people will spell it wrong.

On the phone I always have to spell out my surname too :mad:

Not sure to be honest, but it was pronounced Lasagne...plus I want to believe that there's a girl up in Cavan called Lasagne Brady.

Buster, Bowie and Ace are the children of 2 Emmerdale actors who are married to each other in real life.

My pregnant wife follows this "Insta Doctor" from Galway who had called her kids Indie, Harper and Romi. Had also published her entire list of names for boys and girls that she likes and those three are probably the least offensive of the lot. Such ****ing notions.

Rubarb was a name seen yesterday.

wandererz · 24-05-2020 02:49AM

Ailbhe & Gobnait.

I'll be gobsmacked.

Would that be Brixton Hicks? Seems appropriate

Dont laugh, my inlaws (sort of) named their child Braxton. The poor childs mother was young dumb and full before 17 and the daddy is an independent pharmaceutical salesman.

I thought of Braxton Hicks too when I saw it.

It was with an Irish surname, e.g. Mac Giolla Phádraig*

(*not the actual name).

Incase you are interested, little Bisto is doing fine in the creche and is doing lines of powdered milk. Mom is gone off to get her working bits Vajazzelled. I cant wait to hear until this dope crosses someone with serious intent and he is collecting disability

Foweva Awone · 01-06-2020 05:45PM

This one I know called her kids Alexis-Alice and Alyssa-Andrea-Decota (I've copied that spelling directly from her Facebook, I assume it's meant to be Dakota, whatever if you're crap at spelling, but you'd think you'd at least make the effort to learn the correct spelling for your own child's name!) Thankfully they only go by the first names mostly.
