    Also, if you name your daughter Sorcha, then it's pronounced "Sur-uh-ka", not Soorsha or Sohrsha or whatever made up sheeeite you're coming up with.

    sure you're not confusing it with saoirse?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    If you're serious you have poor taste.

    Gaelic names are lovely.

    Some of them are, but I somehow associate them with the celtic tiger and Irish Pride"

    Everyone of my many nephs and nieces have them, I can't even spell some of their obscure gaelic names.

    +1.

    so how do they expect foreign employers to pronounce their names when they call them for interview ?

    Anyway, talking about ugly names, I heard of a fellow with a ring through his body, he was called Pierce.

    Nah I've heard Sorcha being pronounced like that too.

    I have a Saoirse, and I'm funny over how it's pronouced. It comes from the word saor and should be pronounced as such. Not seersha.

    I know of someone who called their child Percy a few weeks ago. I really don't like it for a baby :(

    Also know someone with a Rianna but she's around alot longer than the singer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭rebel.ranter


    I was on the Cork - Dublin train last year & atimerick junction a woman & her two kids got on, the mother proceeded to shout at them "Keefer, Shania! Sit down will ya!"
    There was quite a few giggles.

    The other unusual name I heard was a guy I know has a brother called Sheldon. It cracks me up but he doesn't see the funny side.

    I agree.

    I think parents who do this are not really giving their children names.

    They're just making a 'statement' to the world.

    'I'm more Irish than thou'

    Dickheads.:rolleyes:

    I know. It's desperate. Next thing, they'll be watching the Dubs or even Hurling or camogie. The horror of it. Sending their kids to Gaelscoileanna and Irish dancing lessons.

    It must be truly horrible in other countries like Russia or Poland, with poor kids being given horrible Russian or Polish names and being educated in their own languages and learning ballet or some such "culture".

    I, for one, welcome the modern celebrity culture. All boy's go to soccer school; all girl's to WAG school.

    I'm off to change the twins' (Dilsexia and Dipsraxia) nappies and feed them their McDonalds.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 116 ✭✭vtec_vixen


    The best I ever heard was there was a programme on about a couple that called their child after where she was concieved, Now Paris, would be a rediculous name but they might've got away with that..

    No. 16 Bus Shelter as they so lovingly christened their newborn - on the other hand is another matter entirely.

    Oh and their was also Talula-does-the-hoola-in-hawaii, who changed her name to Kate by Deed-Poll when she was nine apparantly.

    Some Parents are twats... :pac::pac::pac:

    just imagine Talula in certain accents lol Taaaaloooooooleeeeeeeehhhhh gerrin for yer dinner.!

    apparantly some also tried to call their child 'Sex Fruit' according to the above article.Poor mite.

    In fairness though I doubt many people would have a problem with the name Jordan if it wasn't for the model. Put Katie Price out of your mind and it's not a bad name at all.

    A cousin of mine has a daughter called Rianna but she was born a couple of years before Rihanna the singer ever became famous. They're probably regretting that name choice now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 621 ✭✭✭Bebo stunnah


    I'd say 90% of most unmarried mothers around here... they all seem to have this unrelenting fascination with double barreled names! bella-may's one that comes to mind...

    ive heard some traveller called shakira?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss


    I've got two mates (brothers) called Risteard and Ruairí. Quite odd considering they grew up in Darndale...

    Why is that odd exactly? Because Gaelgeoirs only live in Galway/Kerry?

    Have heard some great ones through work but Shakoncé is the one that sticks out the most! The mum couldn't choose between Shakira or Beyoncé and was afraid either name would be too common so decided to combine them! :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,204 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Didn't David Beckham call his son Brooklyn because he was conceived there.
    Good job he didn't spend any time around Hackballscross.

    Even if there was something awful about the name Shakira why must you all lie about knowing one? Come on, if you're going to make **** up at least make it in some way interesting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 356 ✭✭bambera


    "Xaaaaaaaavier! Stop kickin that fuppin ball on the train."

    Think you'd need to be a bit more European for a name like that. Not a pasty 3 year old little sh*t who was kicking his ball at everyone.

    I wonder who has a daughter with the name Shakira.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    Not a kids name but I was at a group interview for a job. There was a lad there called Tristan.


    "Tristan".....

    Clearly a Vampire Slayer in his spare time.

    Jupiter Jones. What a stupid fuking name.

    It's actually kind of a cool name. I could see it really suiting a certain type of person. Much better than Shakira (I've also met several freckly little Irish Shakiras)/Beyonce/Chantelle/Charmaine.

    This isn't really a terrible name, but it always annoys me. Friend of a friend has a kid called Mia. Nothing wrong with that. Except it's pronounced 'Mye-uh', not 'Mee-uh' and the idiot has the gall to get annoyed with all the people who actually pronounce the name the way it's spelled. I asked her why she didn't just spell it Mya and she said she didn't like how it looked. So now the poor kid is facing a lifetime of correcting every single person who ever reads her name out.
