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...

This name is so much worse now than 3years ago, class.

I always hated the name Jacinta. For obvious reasons.
It sounds horrible when shouted- JA-CIN-TAAAAAAH.
Urgh.

Síofra is another name to add to the list of Irish names given to children by their gob****e parents - parents who then send them to Irish speaking schools to learn crucially important subjects like maths through Irish and then wonder why their child is a total idiot.

What would be the difference in learning maths through Irish and say Finnish, or Korean or any other non English language?

This doublebarrelled surnames combination would sound appropriate:

Guy who worked with my old mans company years ago, had a son born in 1986. Called him Diego. Poor bastard.

Always the case. Like the Rios and Ferdinands we see today.

Some names I came across while teaching in England were Desiree, Love, Beautiful, Princess and Promise. Hard to keep a straight face the first time you hear it!

goiko

I forgot this italian girl in my class whose name was Marika. That means f aggot in Spanish.

Sunny is a horrible name too.

A friend of mine's brother named his son 'Gaius' after Gaius Baltar from Battlestar Galactica.

Now I like Battlestar Galactica but even I want to bully that kid, let alone his schoolmates.

Gretchen. Awful name for a girl, great name for a goblin like creature.

I know a bloke named Sharon and another named Maria. In fairness they are Israeli so they probably think we're strange for calling women Sharon and Maria. After all the Hebrews invented the names first.

It's a daft enough name in German - people would think you've jumped right out of Grimm's Fairy Tales, but at least it sounds kind of cute-ish.

I nearly fell of my chair when I first heard it pronounced by an English speaker, awful hacking and spitting noise.

Heidi is a pretty stupid name, too.

grate-hyen?
sounds nicer than gretchen as english I guess

met a girl once who insisted imogen was pronounced with a hard g. Thankfully it wasn't her name or anyone else's present...

seventeen sheep

Gretchen always make me think of the words Wretch/Retch ... neither is a nice association. I never actually realised it was pronounced differently by Germans!

Sort of, but with a soft "r", and a long "eh", not the English "ei" sound.

Still not a nice name, either way.

I know someone had a baby girl quite recently and called her Nia. When I got a text about it I thought it was a misspelling

It's the Welsh version of Niamh. They have the same Celtic myth. It's not particularly unusual I would have thought.

There was a poo-pants Halford at my primary school. His parents didn't name him that, we did.

He pooed his pants ffs, what were we supposed to do?

crybaby

living in thailand for the past seven years and here everyone has two names - you have your official name on all of your official documents and then you have your nickname for daily life

some of the nicknames given to children by intelligent parents are quite astounding but two two best so far have been

Prince Paris Jackson - immediately after the death of Michael Jackson

Georgebushjunior - all as one word

Someone called their child "accident" True story.
