The worst kid's name you've ever heard?

Captain_Generic · 31-12-2011 04:39PM

I've seen a few Scottish people called Morag. The name is more suited to a cyclops

some pet hates of mine are Myla and Isla(silent "S"),Robyn,Scott.

It beats me how any parents could call their son Ulick.:eek:

It's a singularly uninviting offer that I'd have no trouble refusing.:):):)

This , my mate gave his 2 kids Gaelic names and they will be forever spelling their names out and correcting people on their 'pronunciation' .

Especially if little Sadhbh, Tadhg or Medhbh have to emigrate for work.

AudreyHepburn · 31-12-2011 06:18PM

Dominicka, Danicka, Chantelle etc.....the kinds of names used most commonly in certain segments of society ( and no I am not a snob and yes I am sure there are respectable people who use the names too)

Kryzstzsof....:D

Heard a doctor commenting (off the record) in a maternity hospital that if you were to meet up with the babies named by the Dub inner city/council estates socio economic groups like 'Shanika, Madison, Casey, Tayler, Sha'era, Shania, Shambia,Dylan,Coutney, Leydon, and a lot more worser ones., you will find that many of them end up doomed to a life of what is termed as 'depravation'.

I knew a Scottish woman called Senga.

Apparently her parents wanted to name her after her Grandmother who was called Agnes, but that sounded old fashioned so they reversed it to Senga instead.......

Proudlock.

Any any posh name that sounds "beautiful~" Isabella Mountain Dew Precious Stone Smith is such a beautiful name.

But then again my parents picked my name because it was just nice (yeah nice in the 80s and thats it), and its a bit awkward to say, bit of an AJH name and very American doesn't suit me whatsoever its not Tiffany that would be equally as bad.

joseph brand · 31-12-2011 06:34PM

When I was in primary school years ago, there were 3 girls called 'Eibhlis' (pronounced 'Ev-ilish') and they were all fat and ugly.
There is no way I would name my child Eibhlis.

Jamie: Probably alright when you're a child, but a grown man called Jamie, ffs.

Lorcan, Fuinneog, Sneachta, Una, Diarmuid etc :All pretentious and uppity.

Any names which seem to be taken from American movies such as Max, Brandon, Todd, Brad, Tyreece, Justin etc All shoite names.

Friends of a work colleague named their daughter Alabama. Worse still was that they planned to always call her by her "short" name - Bambi.

31-12-2011 07:06PM

came across someone called eamhair
now as far as i can see, that's pronounced ah-wer/ah-ver
but no, emer

same with caoilfhionn being "keelin"

And how are parents supposed to know which country their children will end up in?

Leo Dowling · 31-12-2011 07:08PM

I think the name "Jamie" is fairly bad. It's a baby name that people give to babies while ignoring the fact that they won't always be babies.

I can't take Jamie Rednapp or Jamie Oliver seriously because they're grown men with baby names.

dubbie82 · 31-12-2011 07:17PM

I know someone who called the son San Diego Tyson and that coupled with a very german family name.

Not at all.

My first name is Tadhg, I have spent about 6 years in total living in the U.K. It might be a drag having to spell my name occasionally, but I just go by my initials in work, and my friends learned how to say and spell my name pretty quickly.

Difficulty in spelling is a terrible reason to not give your child an Irish name as long as you like the name.

kkelly77 · 31-12-2011 08:04PM

Brooklyn.......... but you have to say it in a real 'howaya' accent like his mother did (Broooooooooooooooooklinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, c'mear!!!). Terrible!!

Gottalovegreys · 31-12-2011 08:18PM

Jersey (for a girl)
As in Jersey Shore. Yep :eek:

vixdname · 31-12-2011 08:21PM

There was a fella I worked with and his name was spelled "Aodnis" which is actually pronounced "Anus", when he got old enough, he changed his name by deed poll to....Wait for it............"JOE"

My brother's wife wanted to call their first child Tarquin (Think that's the spelling!!)
If my child was called Tarquin I'd dis-own it...

timewilltell · 31-12-2011 09:04PM

Tristan.
Good God.

I mean, really?!
