    Could be a shaming thing
    I have been warned by the wife to stop calling our 2 year old Beyonce in public when she does her independent woman thing. Just in case someone thinks it's real
    Her real name is reasonably normal
    Latisha? Shaniqua?

    I ain't spilling on here!

    Reminds me of friends of my brother, in Australia, who were torn between Shania and Rhianna for their baby so they compromised on Shanianna

    Heard a mother telling her son, "Raphael, come here now, Raphael!"
    I wonder does he have three brothers at home called Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello.

    Could be a tribute to Raphael Patrick "Ray" Burke ?

    Aloysius, now there's a name that was common once upon a time you never hear any more.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    I love the name Freya. I know of one and my best friend is considering it for her baby if she gets a girl.

    Lovely name, if your surname is Nordstrom or even Stark, not so much if it's Murphy or McEllistrim :D

    At least you'll grow into it!

    Kylie has been a popular Aussie name was years, even before the rise of Minogue. My mother knew a Kylie, who'd be in her sixties now.

    even before the rise of Minogue

    Ah that reminds me. Over 20 years ago now... a tender loving dialogue between a mother and her little daughter


    "CHARLEEEEUUUUUNNNNNN!!! CUMMMEEEEEUUURRRR!!!"

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Yeah but in all fairness it's nuts for a little kid to be knocking around the inner city with a Norse gods name..

    What ever happened to Bernie or Maggie or Kathleen..?:eek:

    I just remembered that I know a guy from Blackpool, Cork who called his kid Odin

    Ah...

    The oldies but goldies, Ask yourself this, would you rather be stuck with Dixie-rose or Shannia or Danika. Nothing wrong with a good solid Catholic Name, sure it did no harm to me 12 sisters...:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 232 ✭✭JanaMay


    KatW4 I think the name Kathleen is lovely! Soft and feminine.

    A friend of mine called her new son Vernon. Vern for short, because thats sooo much better!

    I haven't personally come across this name but there are apparently 328 people (mostly girls) with the following moniker:

    Abcde

    Pronounced ab-sid-ee. All but 11 'Abcde's are children. It's thought to have originated in Hawaii.

    If her surname is Potts then it's cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭Gwynplaine


    Cousin of mine called the young lad Barkley.
    Barkley Murphy. Jesus wept.
    Heard of a couple who called their daughter Selma. Yeah that'll turn out well in school, Smellma.
    Some people never think through of the consequences.
