Child Item

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

...because I think I can beat them all. I swear I considered strangling the poor little bugger to death for his own good. Sit down. Calmly take a deep breath and prepare yourself...

Came out like 'Roo-are-ayee-de-guh".

He could have just changed his name to Rory

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

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.

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!!!

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.

Yep,

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

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

I think the name Ophelia is fairly nice to be honest! Heard it first in Pan's Labyrinth (the young girl).

Is it a Spanish name? Pretty cool I think anyway

There was a Blake in the playground today when I was out with my kids. I've heard the best ones there. Jackson and Daytona were playing today too.

Blake is a cool name!
No one messing with him.

Personally, I like blaise, it's pronounced blaze, how flipping cool is that????!!!!
