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

vtec_vixen · 31-12-2011 2:34pm

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.!

Chelsea, Jordan (for a boy or girl), Clarice, Charity, Chantelle, Charmaine- all names of students I've had & felt sorry for with those names.

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!

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?

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?

BO-JANGLES · 31-12-2011 2:52pm

Latrina in a common accent.:D

girl_friday · 31-12-2011 2:52pm

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:

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.

bambera · 31-12-2011 3:10pm

"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.

They should have waited until he was 18 to christen him?

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

I'd think that stems from the Ross O Carroll Kelly books .:pac:

I wonder who has a daughter with the name Shakira.

Brendog · 31-12-2011 3:22pm

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.

I've always really liked Juno .

Someone I worked with called her child Jupiter, and the surname is Jones.

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.

The thing is, Rhianna/Rianna is a real name. I grew up in England and knew several kids with that name back in the early 90's. They all must hate it now.

It's common enough in Wales too, Rhianna, Rhianon, Rhianydd etc.

Also, if you name your daughter Sorcha, then it's pronounced "Sur-uh-ka",

In English, in would be pronounced "Surka"

not Soorsha or Sohrsha or whatever made up sheeeite you're coming up with.

Are you confusing it with the different name "Saoirse" (pronounced "Sayr-sha" in English)?

I think Maya is a common enough name alright. Would have saved the child and herself the hassle.

had found out off a support worker [whose husband is african] that people in parts of africa name their child after the day it was born on though they generaly name their children after something important.
had wondered what do they do if they get a child for each day and have another?

ugh,cant imagine been called thursday with dad being from tipp [ie, "turdsday"].

All the stupid Gaelic names

ANY of them

A 5 year old in my child's class is named Sadhbh - what a curse. Guaranteed she'll change it to "Sally" or something more pronouncable as soon as she has to deal with people in the real world.

Nice one.

If/when I have a kid (who would have to be a boy, considering the name) he will be called naoise (my favourite name from Irish but also doubles for my love of Nietzsche)

Not necessarily, I know two little girls called Naoise !!

I hate the name Oscar (always reminds me of the grouch in Sesame Street, or an my neighbours old dog who smelled horrible)

Ray D'arcy was onto a woman before Christmas who had 5 kids with bizarre names the youngest was Sahara Saoirse (WTF ???)

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