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...

I encountered a Sebastian, roofis (however that's spelt) and Audrey, all kids on the 39,this week. Poor kids don't stand a chance

I really like the name Sebastian.

Oh dear.

Of course I have heard those names, that's why I posted them!

I did however look them up on Google to clarify the spelling.

Can we move on now please . . . .

Jack. Everyone seems to call their kid Jack. It been in the top 3 boys names since 1998, top in 12 of those years. I'm sick of poxy "jack"
Not the worst, but just sick of it

But you hadn't heard those names. You googled for the most obscure Irish names you could find. Any Lallans names, just for balance?

Paul is my favourite boy's name. I'd always prefer classic boy's names and I reckon many people are the same. That's why the likes of Daniel and Simon are so popular.

They are all old traditional names.
I know a couple of old ladies called pearl & daisy.
They're all lovely old names

Yeah, I like those names.

I also can't see anything wrong with Ruby or Lexie? I've known a few Rubys in my life and some of them are middle-aged or older, and I think Lexie is quite nice and a fairly standard short version of Alexa or Alexandra.

The baby that thankfully survived the Buncrana tragedy has a terrible name, Rioghnach-Ann.

Pronounced Riona-Ann. I know a fair few Rionas, I think it's a lovely name.

Yes.

Only the first question requires an answer...

The question being "The worst kids name you've ever heard", so I contributed three such names.

Maybe one of them is yours? Apologies.

IF your child has 2 names you are an idiot,
at least in western countrys ,pick 1 name .
kate, jane,thomas,robert ,emma etc
cooper is not a first name, no more than flanagan is.
give a child a name that does not need him , her to spell it for other people .
Not some obscure irish name,

When I see names like this I wonder if the parents actually know the origins of the name. Add Cooper to the list. So they call a baby after someone that treated animal hides or made barrells? :rolleyes:

Lazarus. That poor baby.

The worst name out there at the minute is 'finn'

I know someone who had a child in the last year and called him Eamon.

May as well get the child a flat cap and a pint of Guinness now. Such an auld lad name.

I think I'd much rather call my kid a strong 'traditional' name like Paul, versus something like Jayden, Kai or Kayden, tbh.

Plus with a name like that it's likely to also be a family name, so naming the youngster after his grandad or great-grandad, something like that

Madison is a horrible name, but I've never actually met or heard of one (apart from a character in a cartoon).
