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

Major. But only if parents' surname is also Major.

And then sign him up for the army.:D

The English equivalent of the trend for fabricated Irish names among social climbers is even worse. Parents reverting to names that died out with the aristocracy by the forties. Wallys calling their kids Finlay, Horatio, Florence, Beatrix, Prudence, Patience, all truly awful wanky names.

The current British chancellor of the exchequer was christened "Gideon". Understandably he demanded people call him "George" from an early age.

“Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.”

I was walking home the other day and could hear a woman yelling after her son, who had run ahead of her.

I would have thought I'd misheard her if she wasn't bellowing it at the top of her lungs over and over again.

The little boy's name was Falcon!

I was up in Donegal recently and whilst in Lidl I hear a mother call her daughter Saphire, I mean I like different sounding names but Saphire is just silly especially for a white Irish girl. The sons name wasn't much better either altho in my old age I can't remember that.

I saw a girl yesterday whose name is Phoenix. I immediately thought of this thread.

I also saw a Tegan.

On holidays 3 years ago.... 10 year old girl was Paris and her 4 year old brother was Tegan. I still shudder when I think of the gobby semi- geordie mother nasaly shouting at them all day such gems as

Paaariss ya li-uhl cuuhnt leeeve Tegan alone

Paaariss .....Paaariss ya li-uhl cuuhnt come ere

Paaariss ya li-uhl cuuhnt ahll fookin murder ye

In fairness Paris was a nice kid, the mother was a cuuhnt

You sure about that one? The car was named after a girl, not the other way around. It's a genuine Spanish name and still popular today.

edit: Wikipedia has a list of people named Mercedes, which includes "Mercedes Walters (born 1989), University of Oregon soccer alumni, badass". :cool:

I've only met a few women named Attracta in my time, they were all of (shall we say) mature years, and I don't believe it's a popular name today. Good: imagine having a name that sounded like "a tractor". :eek:
