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...

Have you anything constructive to contribute to the thread? A funny name perhaps?

Thomasina is a pretty awful one I've come across recently. It really didn't suit the girl at all. And nothing wrong with the names individually but a lad named Shane Eoin. It just doesn't go together properly.

Gloomtastic!

If it helps change the mood a little, Michele Ferrero who was Italy's richest man, having made his fortune from Nutella, died today!

Of course the names Nutella and Armani roll nicely off the tongue. They're proper nouns, brand names, and one of them is also happens to be an Italian last name. I presume you didn't know this because, obviously, you're coming down from a pretty strong acid trip and your mind is still figuring out the world.

Once the acid finally wears off and you've have had a few hours kip you'll realise that all you're doing by naming your kid Nutella or Armani is preventing them from ever escaping the lumpenproletariat upbringing you're going to give them. Probably best to get them those pole dancing lessons at a young age as that's their only hope of escaping a lifetime of state benefits.

Jermaine Jackson (Michael's brother) named his son Jermajesty. Best. Name. Ever!

Gobnait is my personal not favourite. Although not mad on Mia Mason or any of the like.

I do know a Charmaine Chantelle who is a doctor. She uses CC.

There's a circuit court judge called Donagh McDonagh.

Yeah it really says a lot about Irish society and where it's still at a place where most would consider those names better or more appropriate for a little girl than Nutella or Armani. And before the context argument is mentioned, the two latter names sound far nicer and roll far more smoothly off the tongue imo. But hey, what do I know? Obviously people and judges think they know best and are so infallible in their beliefs that they think they can enforce them through law.

I know a couple who couldn't decide between "Sheila" and "Ann" for their daughter, so they came up with the abomination "Sheilann".

And what's with people selecting (more or less) the same first name as surname? A distant relation of mine is called Brian O'Brien. (It's not like he was born out of wedlock, and the parents subsequently married and then changed his surname, or anything like that.) Just WHY would you do that?!

Khaleesi, that's just child cruelty calling a child that.

I have always loved the name James for a girl. I remember hearing of a female model called James years ago and it always stuck with me.

My nieces best friend is called Tuesday. Maybe a little acceptable in young, teens and maybe early 20's, but imagine introducing your mum to your school friend, “this is my mum, Tuesday"??????

Is it common to introduce your mum to your friends by her first name?

I roll my eyes a bit when I hear super stupid sounding names some people give their kids, but I doubt it'll actually impact their lives much if at all.

I have young relatives in school and some of their friends names are mad trippy. They don't even notice, it's us adults that be like "WTF?".

Two sisters near me, called Theola and Verena .

Griffin is a surname. Loads of surnames are used as first names. I personally like it.

Middle name Creepers? Shortened to Jeep and it's not half bad! In fact it's quite strong!

I did it. I still see the crappy gammy chocolate spread

And that's fine. Completely understandable. It's hard to imagine a girl with the name Nutella standing in front of you (without thinking solely of the brand) when it is not even possible thanks to a judge who thinks he knows best, that his thoughts are infallible! We don't look at a boy called john or johnny and think of a toilet or a person who solicits prostitutes or a condom! We don't stop parents naming their child john or johnny under the assumption they might possibly be bullied because of those connotations. It would be silly, and a ridiculous concept!; forgetting completely the impingement on a parent's right to name their own child.
