    I met twins called Pinky and Perky in London years ago. They were 4 years old and absolutely gorgeous, the names suited them. They would be 20 now, I'm not sure how they feel about their names!

    I hate the name Darren. it's awful when the english say it as dawwen. sends shivers down my spine.

    fiachra, donnacha and any other poncy names in general bother me as well.

    Giovinda (this is actually a guys name),
    Agustine (yet another odd name for a guy)

    There's a lad who played for a hurling for Westmeath called Govinda Geoghan.

    Never much liked the names: Fiachra, Finbarr, Hilda, Ethyl, Phyllis, Mel

    Just wondering what people think the worst names to be called are. I actually ran into a guy called Anus at a Tai-Kwan-Do tournament a few weeks ago. It was slightly embarrasing cheering him on.. go on...eh...you! I also personally hate celebrates that call there kids really weird names...as if to start a trend. 'Blue Angel' anyone? So what do you think the worst name to be called is?

    He spells it 'Aeneas' as a previous poster pointed out, and knowing him, I'm betting he won his fight!? He's a 3rd dan iirc...

    On Attracta... "+1".. (seems to be the thing they do around here)... Same with Oisin and Fionn
    Assumpta is fairly bad too!
    Caitlin, was a lovely name .... not any more!
    I don't mind it until people pronounce it "Kate-lin"!
    Any Irish names whos spellings or pronunciations are changed to be more "user-friendly"... It's one thing if someone else just spells/pronounces it wrong, they just don't know. But the owner/parents should know!

    Chavonne, Shawn/Shaun, Aisling (pronounced Aze-ling), Shamus...

    Oh the kindergardens are full of poor unfortunates these days...

    We've just got shot of the Jack and Molly brigade...!!!
    (Poor little feckers!!!)

    Spawned by parents trying to be original, who also like Noah, Lily, Ruby, Ella and Ava....(there's 5 of each in every class!!!)

    Then you have the armies of Catlin, Katelyn, Caolin, Keelin, Cian, Caoimhe
    There is a whole generation called almost nothing else

    Then you have your poor scangers all called Brooke, Lauren, Shannon, Megan, Amy, Abbie, Holly, Ellie .....!

    Pretentious w@nkers!

    Seth is an awful name. I heard some woman addressing her son by it in Dunnes last years, I came *this* close to vomiting.
