    I **** you not. I heard a father calling his son by this name before!

    From the Raven by Edgar Allen Poe maybe?

    My contribution.. Ernie..

    Unless your second name is McCracken! ;)

    Also Germaine for a girl...

    They are 'good' Saxon names. Having met none, I am not prejudiced against the names on personal experience.

    I have known a Norbert (a dickhead).

    Have met a Wilma.....really lovely girl...but could think of nothing but 'the Flintstones'

    Awful.....think her parents thought the were being radical and alternative way back in the 60s.

    For the girls:

    Ethel
    Margaret
    Mary
    Bernadette

    For the boys:

    Kevin
    Gary
    Keith
    Francis

    You must have some grudges if you're naming quite ordinary names like above, with Ethel being the only exception. Kevin must have broken yer poor heart :pac:

    Pedro
    Padraig
    Zeus
    Johnny (little johnny)
    Dick

    Fionnuala
    Aoife
    Suzanne
    Winifred

    Do they all have massive foreheads and the parents were taking the piss?

    Have you ever looked at a child,see the joy in its eyes and then proclaim,"This child will be named Dennis."

    DENNIS

    Ugh...

    I like Dennis dont see anything wrong with Kevin, Joe, Aoife or Kyle either. How any of them get into a thread when there's plenty of kids called Rhianna or Princess I just dont understand.

    What's wrong with Kyle? Yes it's not a common name here so I wouldn't give it to a child myself, but it is a traditional Yiddish name. So if you meet a Kyle then maybe his family is Jewish or something. (Yes we have Jews in Ireland)

    I'm also surprised at the amount of normal names in this thread.

    I met a Brydan or was it Bradon once. He annoyed me because of his name before I even met him. Then I met him and I felt justified in that dislike. Worse still was my friend kept trying to set me up with him. Proper douche.

    Its disturbing how many of these "unattractive" names that I have on my maybe list...

    Picking baby names is hard work...

    Im not bothered reading through the entire thread so am just going to shove NORMAN in there... not sure if it has already been mentioned

    My sister named her newborn Albert.

    I tried to talk her out of it.

    Bertie. FFS

    I'm very fond of that name (it reminds of someone special from my childhood) and thought I'd name my son Albert if I'll ever have one. Well until I moved to Ireland :D

    That's interesting. My brother is called Martin and I love how it sounds, at home. Can't stand it the way it's pronounced in English!
