    I always thought caoilfhionn should sound like keel-yun
    or kwale-yun

    keelan sounds ok on its own though

    The "caoi" is pronounced the same as the "caoi" in Caoimhe in the north.

    Saw a news story about a girl who helped her mother when the mother was in labour. All very sweet, except when they revealed the baby's name...

    Elsa-Monet.

    Is it not "Aloysius".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloysius
    Aloysius (/æləˈwɪʃəs/ al-ə-wish-əs) is a given name. It is a Latinisation of the names Louis, Lewis, Luis, Luigi, Ludwig, and so on. It has Germanic origins and means, "fame and war." In the US, the name is rare, with babies receiving the name less than 0.001% since the 1940s, according to Social Security Administration data. It is more common in Liberia.

    Was in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre today and a mother spoke to her toddler and called her Portia.
    I couldn't help but wonder if the child has a sister called Incontinentia Buttox........ :)

    I knew a girl that wanted to call her planned baby Portia but was influenced by Portia de Rossi, it was about the time she got together with Ellen De Generes. I think she had a boy... Hope she didn't call him Shylock!

    I have a friend who named her son Clint... and what's worse is that she writes in all block capitals and sometimes when she writes her own son's name down on paper it looks like another word entirely....


    hint: SEE yoU Next Tuesday!

    I was on the phone to a utility company yesterday and the woman on the other end said her name was "De-bor-ah".
    As in: "D-bore-ah".
    I think she's trying to posh up "Debra"

    I was introduced to a guy a few years ago and he told me his name was roger rabbit. I looked at him as if he was taking the piss and he replied " I know, I know, I was born before that _ucking rabbit.

    I wonder how will Katie Price's daughter will feel when she is old enough to realise that she is Bunny and her older sister is Princess. I thought Princess was bad enough but "Bunny"? Ffs, what was Katie thinking?

    Career options based on her own vision for her daughter. Hefner will probably be still hiring.

    A few years ago a guy called his son after the full team of a Premier Div club. This fellow has less class - sorry Millwall fans:

    I had a child in my class a few years ago who pronounced her name like that. Took me ages to say it properly! She wasn't too impressed if I said it wrong but then again 6 year olds never are! :)

    That's the proper spelling of the name though. And that's how it should be pronounced but rarely is.

    By far not the worst named guy in American Football:
    D'Brickashaw Ferguson
    BenJarvus Green-Ellis
    Tshimanga "Tim" Biakabutuka
    Yourhighness Morgan
    Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
    Fair Hooker

    I still reckon Aeneus is the worst moniker to bestowed on a child.

    D'Brickashaw Ferguson's first name is his mother's corruption of the name De Bricassart, the Norman surname of the romanticised Irish paedophile priest played by Richard Chamberlain in the Thorn Birds.

    The names that really baffle me are those clearly given to children because of some footballer, football manager, etc. Names like Ferguson Murphy, Ferdinand Daly or Beckham Molloy for example.
