    Cross my heart, I genuinely did hear of a little American girl being called Nefertiti. Tittie, anyone?

    Come to that, I DID once meet a Titti, but she was grown-up, and Swedish. Absolutely true fact.

    Was confronted by someone in work who happily told me their sister called a new boy Parker.
    I hate it when that happens. You can hardly laugh in their face
    Each time the kid leaves for school, the father will shout after him "and make sure you get me some pictures of Spiderman, dammit" :pac:

    Not sure if celebrity names should be included but Shannyn Sossamon called her kid Audio Science.
    Also Jeff Goldblum on Graham Norton last night, I can't remember what the first name he said was (a normal one) but he said Ocean as well, Graham was just like "ah, how lovely."
    Personally I hate Gertrude, Lauren, Assumpta and Concepta as names.

    Why is every kid named Nathan bad news?
    Same with Dwayne and Tyson.

    Poor kids were practically born with an ASBO.

    Casper!

    Doesn't sound too bad really, but the child will for ever more be associated with Casper the ghost, for the rest of his life.....

    Mother in Australia wanted to call her daughter Kaitlyn but didn't like how popular it was so went with KVIIIlyn with "ait" replaced by VIII. "Now our daughter is truly unique.” Yep, she sure is!

    My sister had a baby girl yesterday, first grandchild for the parents, and am delighted to be an uncle, she is a beautiful baby.

    And now for the name...

    Wait for it.......Renesmee (Pronounced Ren-ez-may)

    I don't know, I just don't know

    Have this vision of every teacher all the way through school rolling their eyes looking at the roll book in September.

    Poor child will have to explain her name everywhere she goes.

    Yeah apparently it's a real name. :S

    Didn't know she was even into Twilight, never saw her reading the books or watching the movies, so I don't know if that inspired it, the child's aunt on her father's side is a fan though, could have been where it came from, I may ask her later.

    I don't think she'll re-consider the name and just call her Abbie or Geri-Maye or something not as mental (I liked those names <<)....but it's up to her. I hoped it was the drugs talking after her C-section when my Mam came in and told me the name and I was like "How the f**k do you spell that??"

    Friend of a friend of a friend is called Tangela, I saw it via Facebook. At first I thought perhaps someone had just messed around with their name so people couldn't find them as easily. But nope, she's actually called Tangela.

    I know a Lelia, who pronounces it Lee-la.

    It makes NO SENSE!!!

    I know two, one Lee-la and one Lay-la. Same spelling, different pronounciations. Lee-la is a yank and Lay-la is a Scot.


    I cringe at the American prounciation of Caitlin. Just spell it Katelyn if you don't know how to pronounce it properly! And in the last few episodes of the show Penny Dreadful a Catriona pops up. I winced every time she introduced herself as Kay-tree-owna.

    When you come up with that cutesy "baby" name; have a think of how it will work with the family name, especially later in life: http://i.imgur.com/Ol2cRy7.jpg

    I know someone with a toddler called Tacey. And whenever she's asked her name, because her speech isn't very clear yet, everyone assumes she's trying to say either Stacey or Tracey. Her mother is constantly putting up rants on Facebook about it. If you want people to get your child's name right, then don't give them such a stupid ambiguous name!

    I was in Penneys and this woman was calling for her daughter "Precious, Preciouuuus. This was a few years ago, I wonder how the poor child is getting on in school.
