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

dartboardio · 14-07-2019 1:25pm

I was speaking to a woman who had a daughter called 'Pearl Curtin'

Wtf

I know a Sanchez not sure if that's how it's spelled.

He's not from Ireland and I like the name but someone was saying to him...'you don't look like a Sanchez...you look Irish and more like a Paddy'

I never noticed it before but he does! His personality is Sanchez though.

It's actually a Spanish surname.

Like the red head guy in CSI called Horatio.

Theres an old Irish saint from Meath called Erc (pronounced Urk). Erc son of Dago he was too, but thats another issue entirely.

Anyway, I've been introduced to a fella whose name is Erc. It is by far the worst name I've ever heard.

'Hello I'm John'
'Nice to meet you, I'm Erc'

'Are you Ok? Are you choking, having a stroke maybe or involuntary ejaculation? Can I call someone for you?'

I spent a summer in France years ago and worked in an office with an older guy with the name of Vercingetorix. He was named after a famous king, but even the French people working there thought it was a very weird name.

monseiur · 15-07-2019 3:10pm

In France a registrar checks new-born's names when births are registered.
If a name is deemed contrary to the child's interest the registrar has to notify a prosecutor. A family law court can then change the name.
For example, about 4 years ago a French judge ordered the parents of a baby girl not to name her Nutella..........to save her from a lifetime of teasing;)
Strange but true.
Also in Germany it's illegal to name a child Hitler

Spare a thought for the American golfer Payne Steward:)

PopePalpatine · 15-07-2019 5:31pm

Payne Steward? Sounds like a generic mid-2000s wrestler with tribal tattoos and a soul patch.

There's a child psychotherapist who contributes to Newstalk called Joanna Fortune.

What a waste, she's have made a killing as an investment broker.

No, but a cousin of Rick O'Shea . Second cousins of that partnership, Patrick Fits Gerald and Gerald Fits Patrick.

munster87 · 18-07-2019 8:16am

His name was Payne Stewart, I met him at the Irish Open in 1991, apparently!

I was in the play ground with the kids last week where I was introduced to Xena and Indianna. WTF....

Omackeral · 18-07-2019 4:41pm

Maybe their mother was a warrior princess and their father was a bad ass archaeologist?

I have a note saved on my phone where I keep an record of all the really awful names I come across in Mum Facebook Groups - there's some shockers on there.

The worst is a little girl called Kherington. Runner up being the girl called Myrphie

Mad_maxx · 19-07-2019 11:50am

Any common name written erroneously: e.g. Wash-ink-ton

Shall we call her Myrtle or Sophie?
Wait....I have an idea! :pac:

That is the only way I'll accept that monstrosity came to exist. I refuse to believe someone could bastardise Murphy that much.

Hotblack Desiato · 19-07-2019 2:39pm

Using Murphy as a forename is a shooting offence in itself.

I know - even Murphy is a horrific name for a baby girl, never mind making the spelling all cutesie. This lady used to post a lot in a group I'm in and I just couldn't take her seriously. Naturally, most of the women in the group are American.

Some of the boys names I have saved are Dresden, Cleveland, Oslo, Banks and October.

Also another contender for the girl top spot was the baby named Pov.

Not a kid's name, but just saw on Forensic Files a detective called Buzz Busby. How could you take someone seriously with a name like that? Bzzzzzzz!!!!

Rubberlegs · 19-07-2019 7:45pm

I was watching some nature programme earlier and a kid taking part in it was asked his name and he said Rigsby.

I saw this on Facebook and cringed at the names, which are (as far as I can make out) Rustin, Terrance, Sei'anna and Zy'rianna.

Ha I just came across that same photo. Useful idea though. Probably not as much use when kid wears same uniform mon-fri.

Granny got a cold, sharp shock when she brought her grandson, Kookie, 9, for an ice-cream treat in Dublin city centre to cool down in the Summer heat.

Lavina-Marie followed by four very Irish surnames, 4!

Just heard of a girl (American) called Daleynee. It's supposed to be pronounced like Delaney ... a cruel enough name for a girl even with the correct spelling!

Aaw thanks for that. Followed the link to the chalkboard story too. Wow. Those spellings...

I just came across a "mommy blogger" (puke) whose kids are called Kyle, Noa Belle, Briar, and Milla.

An old neighbour of mine called her daughter "Disney"
I suspect she is now dancing on a pole somewhere.

Turquoise Hexagon Sun · 20-08-2019 4:04pm

I swear I heard one family that had a Mason and a Tyler
