The worst kid's name you've ever heard?

I'm pretty sure they're long lost members of the Targaryen family from Game of Thrones.

That's rough. Ford Zepherus and Citroen's latest models the Zena and the Xanthe I see where she's going with this trend. Those poor children...

Sadhbh or Tadhg. At least give a child a name that can be pronounced when someone tries to read it ffs.

Yep,

I think mister Benz named the car after his daughter....or Mr Daimler's daughter. Something like that.

Ofelia is the Latinate* form of the name afaik, Ophelia...hrm. Well, it appears in Shakespeare (Hamlet), so it was a "known" name in Shakespearean England. Huh, looked it up, and it's from a Greek word. Probably invented as a name by a 15thC poet for "Arcadia".

*I may be using that term wrong - I mean in the Romance/Latin-influenced languages such as Spanish, Italian, French.

Nice, like the spelling too.

There were 2 elderly brothers near me years ago who spent a good deal of time in the pub. Early in the day they were quite happy to be called Jack and Dick. However if you referred to them by these names late in the evening you'd quickly be corrected and be told they were Sean and Richard!!!

I was reading a thread a couple of months ago on another site and the person in question was suggesting that he call his son Galahad. Needless to say, he was ripped apart for that idea.

At least these names, while unusual are ok if you are in Ireland. When you travel/live/work abroad you're in for a world of exasperation. I worked for a summer in the US in a country club with a bunch of other J-1ers. There was was a Sean, a Siobhain and a Niamh amongst us. Were were waiters and waitresses with name tags. The 3 I mentioned had to have their name tags remade with their names spelt phonetically, i.e. Shaun, Shivaun and Neeve because the punters were calling them "Seen", "Sib-hane" and (wait for it) "Nymph" :pac:

Fuck knows what they'd mangle Sadhbh into

It happens.....I was going to put "inventer" myself but that wasn't really right either.

Funniest I've heard living in london is people trying to pronounce "Ruaraidgh".

I wont give their real surname for obvious reasons but its as Irish and common as McCarthy or Murphy.

That's a fucking ridiculous way to spell that name in fairness. There's at least 3 letters more than are needed. I hate when people add redundant letters to names, it's so pretentious.

If this thread is to be believed, there's an epidemic of working class children with exotic names going malnourished. They're never in for their meals. It's very sad.

This is pretty much exactly the reason why we ruled out every tough to pronounce Irish name for our son...

MRnotlob606

I am not a hater of our beloved Irish culture. But I think we have some very stupid sounding names in the Irish Language like Odhrán, like put a B in front of it an you're a f&*cking percussion instrument.
