    Heard a very young girl being called Aria (as in the musical term) recently, aren't there enough proper names around?

    There was a kid in my school around 1980 who insisted in taking Lucifer as his Confirmation name. Teachers objected, but fair fücks to the kid, he argued that it was a valid Biblical name of an angel, and not in any way Satanic. The Bishop conferred him Lucifer.

    Did we go to the same school?

    One of the guys in my year tried to get “Moondog” as his confo name. Priests were having none of it. He got a bollocking and was made pick a, more, “normal” name.

    The tide is turning…

    My brother, who's middle name is Christopher, picked "Columbus" as his Confirmation name, 'cos he thought it would be funny.

    I'm all over Twitter getting him cancelled now.

    It's from Game of Thrones (although spelled slightly different). That's what has it become popular again

    But, should we stop inventing names? No more new names as someone unconnected with the child might be offended?

    A guy at work named one of kids after a relation of Thor's from the MCU movies. It makes me cringe so much.

    On this note I'm in a name shaming FB group (you get some great ones there!). Obviously most of the group are American so often there are posts that are from other languages and they say they're weird and then there's debates about cultural sensitivities.

    Recently there was a post where someone complained about someone calling their kids Eoin and Ruairi and how they were making up spellings to be different. He got slated in the comments on that one at least!

    KVIIIlyn

    Have a look at the picture for the full description but basically it’s the name Kaitlyn with “ait” remover and replaced with the Roman numeral VIII for 8.

    Maybe a little harsh but I think those parents should be chemically castrated

    You can see the misery in the child's eyes.
