Child Item

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

cantdecide

...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...

Aye. That'd be worse than "BJ" when the other youngfellas in school find out what it means. :pac::pac::pac:

not quite that name, but i do feel sorry for parents who that happens to,

reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons when Homer's name was used for the lead character in the cop show and the positives and negatives that came with that

you know, kind of like the name Justin, just a normal name, no negative connotations to anybody in particular, then Justin Bieber happens!

Jayden, Mason, Carson, Kayden ... I'm sorry I have to stop before I puke lads.

What are we raising a generation of Jedi Masters ?

Mr Viking

Do you remember your man from the Dukes of Hazard he was Boss Hoggs deputy and he was called Cletus. I think I spent my childhood calling him Clitoris. Even named my pet rabbit after him and couldn't for the life of me work out why the folks were giving me strange looks

All these above names sound ok ... in America! Someone else mentioned names like Madison, etc. as well. But they sound ridiculous in Ireland. And alien in France.

Yes, and a whole load of children then get called Justin for this reason. Any famous celeb or sportstar comes along and the names take off!

Slightly off topic (as it is not a name I hate): but with the above in mind, why is the name Jack suddenly so popular in recent years? I can't seem to think of any currently famous Jack or maybe I am missing someone?

When I was growing up Jack was an old man's name, a nickname for "John". Usually a flat-cap wearer typically enveloped in clouds of pipe smoke.

Plenty of famous Jacks though: Jack Black, Jack White, Jack Nicholson.

Peter Sutcliffe "The Yorkshire Ripper" was the 1970/80s version of the 1880s original Jack T.

Unless he can find a friend called Goose, it is just a bad name.

The OPs name was 'Isis' and that was on 31/12/2011!
Talk about trendsetting parents.

I wonder is Isis a right little trouble maker...

Obviously named after St Maverick of Miramar.

Seriously, that kid needs to be taken into care and the parents need slapping around the ears to knock some sense into them.

They don't even sound like real names or derivatives or real names.

Another dislike of mine is female versions of male names, for e.g. Nigella, Thomasina, Patrice

The name 'Freya' (with some different spellings) has been around for well over 1000 years, Freya/Freyja being the Norse goddess of love, fertility, war and death.

A man who came to buy my car a few years ago had his twins with him - 'diesel' and 'axel'. No word of a lie.

Have come across the following too but it's a cultural thing so definitely not the worst but most unusual-
princess, excel, exceedingly, promise, destiny, prayer, glory
