Those can't be names!! Really? They're just random blobs of letters. As if somebody dumped a tin of Alphabetti Spaghetti upside down or tried to write down how their morning sickness sounded :pac:

A little fear comes over me everytime I open this thread, that my name will get mentioned....

Ha, ha, ha, Tito. Shamone

Barely qualifies as it's not a real person but Jermaine Jackson named his kid Jermajesty

Mathgamain- Brian Boru's older brother's name.
Tis only a matter of time before we see it being used again.

Twin lads in England called Benson & Hedges.

Parents were divorcing and the judge told them that the kids had to be renamed.

I think you're looking for the "best kid's name you've ever heard" thread.

I have to say I really don't like these American type names that Irish parents seem to be mad about these days: Tyler, Brandon etc.

Or the hyphenated faux jazz names : Ella May, Lily May etc. You feel like saying, You're from fcuking Cabra, mate.

Might as well tattoo 'Tryhard Wanker' on their foreheads giving their kids those names :rolleyes:

In Canada you hear some amazing ones. I remember a kid at the camp I worked at was called Justice. Tiny, slightly nerdy redhead. And very shy (although very sweet).

It wasn't a name that suited her even slightly.

In fairness, unless she became a Cop, that name would never suit her!

Could go tragically wrong depending on the surname though.

Blade O'Reilly or Blade Ward sounds like a itinerant bare knuckle fighter in a Guy Ritchie yarn.

Lollipops23 · 27-05-2015 04:10PM

I know a kid whose parents called her Alexa. Poor thing doesn't stand a chance really.

I also hate anything that's double barreled with Grace or May/Mae. Time was , both of those were lovely names-but they've been done to death now and just sounds common.

Best musician name was probably Cobalt Stargazer (Zodiac Mindwarp)

Blade Stargazer would be deadly.

Oh I hate that too. "Millie May, Alexa May, Lilly May", it's a child not a brand, so dumb.

Hah, I was thinking that too - loved those books!

Also, Destiny, Krystal (or any variant spelling) Gobnait and anything named after a pop star.

Heard a good one today outside Tesco Athlone-'Come here, Cxunt'.
Cxunt actually appeared to be no more than five years old. Sad.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 27-05-2015 09:30PM

Any make name with 'ina' or 'ine' or 'a' added to the end to feminise it.

Thomasina
Paulina
Roberta

And possible the worst most dreadful name any parent could ever bestow on an innocent child 'Pascaline'

I'm sorry but I want compensation for the mouthful of tea I just sprayed across my laptop.
