Very popular in the Danish dramas, spelt with a K. I kinda like it but wouldn't dare stick one of my children with it.

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.

Dublin in particular was full to the brim one time with Assumptas and Conceptas. It's was impossible to bully someone in the playground over their name when 10 other girls had the same name.
Your pathological burning hatred of the RCC is so overwhelming you that you are putting the rights of the parents to name their child non-traditionally over Nuttella Armani O'Briens right not to be scoffed scorned and bullied over her name.
According to k4t she'll just have to suck it up,eh! That'll show the bishop !
"Another black eye Nutella? Never mind . We had to call you that so that EVERYONE we meet knows we're not religious".
Nutella is a sickly sweet chocolate spread not unlike a babies first bowel movement.
Armani is a luxury goods brand name.

Pathological? Oh lord! There is nothing strange about opposing something which contradicts science and reason, something which by its very nature is intolerant, and which attempts to control those who subscribe to it. Not going to waste my time with that accusation. Nobody has a right not to be scoffed or scorned, and kids are bullied for all manner of reasons, an unusual name does not necessarily make them an easier target. And to say why risk it is to say why risk anything. We may as well all become clones. It's amazing how little we expect of each other and how little FAITH we put in people, in our children. Too busy putting our faith in religion and opposing any and all change because god or your priest tells you to; a way of thinking which has remained in the Irish subconscious as is evident even among those who would not call themselves religious. Anyway, you're making huge assumptions and predicting the future (are you a psychic?) by saying a child will be bullied because their name is unusual, and because it sounds nicer than the majority of traditional names. Nutella is a name two parents chose for their child that they conceived and who they were going to raise, and you or a judge or anybody else telling them they can't name their child that is saying you're infallible, that you're god, and an extremely unsurprising belief coming from Irish people. Nutella and Armani are both beautiful names, and not you or anyone else can force me to think otherwise. And nobody should be allowed to force those parents not to name their kids those names.

K4t are you a parent?

Kovu · 15-02-2015 09:14PM

Yea...but......Nutella is still a awful name. Hence thread title.

Was at niece's birthday party yesterday. Young lad there called Huntington. I laughed when the mother said it. I had to go into other room it was that awkward.

Digital Solitude · 15-02-2015 09:19PM

As are Concepta and Asumpta or however you spell them.

Not mad on Christine myself, it somehow sounds trampier that Christina in my eyes

I overheard a woman at a street market in San Francisco call her son 'Lionheart' over to join his sister, who's name I didn't hear but I named her Angelheart in my head.

The three of them ticked every box you'd expect at first glance, from the dreads to the crocs to the undernourished vegan frames of the children.

Brother and sister, Mork and Mindy

Mindy is quite a nice name on its own though.

Saw Shakira shopping in Dunnes with her mother the other day & I thought of this thread.
She wasn't singing about hips not lying so I didn't ask for a selfie or an autograph.

I cringed when her mother said her name, but it also made me smile.

I know a girl with that name- it's an Egyptian goddess and actually quite lovely, just very very unfortunate in light of current global events. Hopefully they'll move on to isil as they seem to be favouring of late.

Heard a child being called Jeremy earlier. Grand if it was 1960 but its not. Also, a child in my sons montessori is called Teal

Liberty Rae & Bonnie Mae are living in Dublin north central. I kid you not.

A girl.

And she's chubby.

Very distressing.

As said above, a very ancient and noble name. A Bob Dylan song as well as an Egyptian goddess. And a Downton Abbey beloved pet. Some ignorant toerags have kidnapped the name for the present. They will last no longer than the shifting of the sands. Here's the Dylan song....

Ursula. Not sure why, but to me, it sounds somewhat equine!
