    Is there a more judgemental thread than this one? Yes, some kids get lumbered with names they would prefer not to have - and others compound their grief by making a song and dance about it. What the hell? Show respect.

    Uh oh.... What did you get burdened with? Fergal? There there

    And on with the show....

    Walking (never will be named here) home yesterday evening and a mother is calling her lovely little blonde daughter in 'Edna, Edna, dinnertime!'
    Has to be a dear departed's name. She'll grow into it. When she hits 70

    One place I worked the head of international finance was called Randolph Kau. Except he shortened Randolph to Randy. Randy Kau.
    We were at a dinner thing in Dublin Castle one night and Bertie had to address him and after a few glasses of wine it was hilarious to hear Bertie welcoming Randy Kau to Dublin.

    Isis.

    Hope you didn't. And instead played him this song that a nice Jewish man wrote for him.

    Of course he thought it was a girl's name.....

    I think Isis must take the biscuit so far 😀😀😀

    Reminds me of the joke:

    Q: who gives kids a bad name?
    A: the Beckhams!

    Brooklyn...FFS!

    Nothing disrespectful imo about the thread. Just a bit of fun.

    Brooklyn in itself isnt too bad, but they admitted they named him that because he was conceived in Brooklyn.

    Just imagine it, for your whole life, every time somebody says your name the image of your parents riding pops into your head

    Here's an image for you. The post office on pension day 2085 and the queue is made up of pensioners called Rhianna, Teagen, Jayden, Lily-Rose-Sue-May, Kai.....

    Makes you wonder what the hell the grandkids will be called!

    They'll have probably gone full circle and the kids will be Ethel, Vera, Theresa, etc.

    This is what I think too. A bit off topic but does anyone else agree that Memhis Depay what plays for Utd has a most excellent name?

    "Clondalkin! Lanzarote! Gerrin here! Yer dinner's poured out!" :pac:



    yep that's where my two were conceived, but they're not named that.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    It's a bit different, but a university I worked at hosted a conference once, and one of the international visitors came from Thailand, and her name was Sucharat Rimkeeratikul.

    We felt like drawing straws to decide who would have to introduce her and pronounce that name.

    I picked my daughter up from school last week and was delighted when she told me she's made a new friend. "Her name is Taya dad, isnt that a nice name?"

    Ehhh....

    I think it is, sounds like something you'd seeing in a Japanese thing ported over to the Western World (like Final Fantasy or Pokemon or something) :o

    Must be why they prefer to use their nicknames. Poo is a common one. So much better. :D

    I went to school with a girl called Kyragh - pronounced Ciara/Keira. I always felt sorry for her. Her mother made it up.

    My sister used to work for one of the consultants in Our Lady's childrens hospital and he had a set of triplets as patients whose names were Faith, Faithful and Faithfulness. No word of a lie.

    I remember a Nigerian couple my parents were the landlord/landlady of - and their children were Goodness and Favour, which is apparently a tradition - call your child what you feel like when they're born, but the parents were Sam and Marilyn, so unless her mother shouted, "I feel like Marilyn Monroe!", I'm not so sure.
