Child Item

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

...because I think I can beat them all. I swear I considered strangling the poor little bugger to death for his own good. Sit down. Calmly take a deep breath and prepare yourself...

When I was in college back home I did a placement with the school public health nurses. I remember going to a class in one school where there were twins. The girl was named 'Vodka' and the boy 'Holden' (a popular make of car in NZ, I think they are called Opel here).

My father knows a fellow called Brutus.I always found it funny. A guy my age I know is called Billy Joe Bob Fitzpatrick. As in people call him"Billy Joe Bob," not Billy.

My neighbour had a baby recently. Called her Macie. Her niece put it up on facebook as Massy. Near pee'd myself laughing.

Wouldn't it be great if the child's surname is Ferguson.

It's a cultural thing - I teach in a school, where we have a 'Peace', 'Precious', and 'Mercy', but they are all girls, so the names sound fine.

Have 'Destinee' (with Irish surname) playing on football team!:rolleyes:

Know someone who is calling their son Oberon O'Brien.

We had a guy at school called Precious once. It's quite a nice idea, naming a child according to your aspiration for them.

Excuse me while I put Not preggers by 16 to bed.

It's increasingly common and it's never really been rare, but I truly hate the modern chav pronunciation of Aaron, i.e. ARRIN. (Must be shouted at lung-bursting volume.)

It's Air-un, you complete knackers.

What makes it even worse us that Oberon is the name given to the king of the fairies. The kid is in for years of abuse at s hool

Even then the kids still getting beaten up on a regular basis. When I first heard it I thought they were calling it Obi Wan and had to tell then that Obi Wan's birth name was Ben

According to the 1901 census there are were only 5 people bearing the name "Niall" in Ireland, all of them under age of 12.

By 1911, 52 people were recorded as Niall, and 31 of them were older than 10, so they existed in 1901. Lots of the Niall's in 1911 have their surname in Irish, too, and were probably recorded as Neal O'Doherty instead of Niall Ní Dhochartaigh or whatever.

There is one poor fecker called Thomas Niile Gill in 1901, but his brothers are John Crawford and Harold Stanley, while his sister is Margaret Eileen, so it's a toss up whether Nile is a mangled Niall or the river in Egypt.

Aphrodite, the Greek (I'm guessing great is an autocorrect) goddess of love, beauty and sexuality. And the goddess of tweaking your left nipple if the statues are anything to go by…

I always say arrun... and I'm pretty sure loads of people do
Surely it's both

In its original Hebrew, Aaron (אהרן) is pronounced a-ha-ron with the first two vowels similar to (and probably derived from the same root as) "sahara".

The English pronunciation of the biblical Aaron's name was derived by anglicising the Latin during the Church of England's translation of the Authorized King James Bible in 1611 ... ... all define this modern English pronunciation as /ɛərən/ ("air-run", where "air" is the same sound as in "dairy")
In the twentieth century, ambiguity over the pronunciation of "Aaron" was created by naming children after Elvis Aaron Presley rather than after the biblical Aaron.

I'd pronounce arrun, they same as I would Aardvark. I wouldn't say Airdvark…
