Hate these stupid attempts at giving the child an exotic name, like when they go for a job in years to come I think employers won't take them seriously if they have some goofy name given to them by their folks who fail miserably to come up with a nice one.

Somehow I don't think that's going to be an issue for many of them

Thats a sign of someone with no taste,
they name their child after a pop singer ,
eg shakira ,beyonce,
in the 80,s there were lots of girls called kylie .
It seems to be a working class trend.
Is it not common sense ?
anyone should be able to pronounce your name by reading it.

I know a girl called Priya. I think it is a beautiful name. I googled it and I think it means "beloved"

I'll be calling my son (if I have one) after his Grandad, he's the greatest man I know.

Indian name. As common there as Mary is here. I worked for a company with an Indian office once. There was an awful lot of Priyahs in the email list. It was important to remember their surnames..........:)

Not as bad as a first name the same as the parent's surname. The 1916 leader Thomas MacDonagh named his son Donagh. Donagh MacDonagh.

(He was born long before the Rising, the name wasn't a tribute to his father following the execution or anything).

I'll see your Concepta and raise you an Attracta. My trump is Abina.

I also saw an Atlanta on some legal documents lately. That's just pretentious. For plain ordinary wholesome God-awful names I will stick with Attracta and Abina.

Fachtna.

Sorry if it's your name, but it's like a cross between feck, fack & foch ... na

Could be worse it's historically anglicised as Festus (the Latin is: Fachtnanus)

Gwynplaine · 10-05-2016 12:49PM

No idea how it's spelled, but I know of a fella my nephew is friends with, and his name is Neesha.
I also know of a fella and his name is Dermot McDermot.

Cortina_MK_IV · 10-05-2016 12:58PM

Probably the Irish name Naoise.

Naoise maybe? It's my cousin's name too. I've heard it used as both a girl's or boy's name.

Phil and Gary Neville's dad was called Neville Neville. Whatever about having a "Mc" or an "O'" in the middle, that's completely taking the piss.

I think it is Indian. There is a character on 'Emmerdale' called Priya - she is beautiful.
Quite like the name.
