Childrens Names

[Tmcilvar]

My input on the subject, I used to go to school with a girl called "Paige Watt"...

You wont like my girls names then haha!

There's nothing wrong with your girls' names, sure they're unusual, but as you say that's better than being common. If you'd called them massey giorja and... Well, i'm not sure how you could make a mess of lola rose, but anyway, if you'd done that and insisted everyone was pronouncing it wrong it'd be a different story lol. Imo of course, everyone's got different ideas of what's acceptable and what's not. I daresay i'll take some stick for the names i've got in mind for future children...

Im all up for having unusual names for kids (just look at mine!) But i think there is a difference between unusual good and unusual "what the f*ck were you thinking"

Destiny....that is one name that really annoys me!

Don't lie niall thats your middle name

Don't start with pronounciations..... Soon got fed up with my surname... 'Tom..errr...ummm...' 'Yeah that's me...' And sod spelling it over the phone for insurance or anything!

Might change it to Smith or something.


Could be worse though....knew someone called Siobhan a while ago!

[Dum-Dum]

i'm not sure how you could make a mess of lola rose

Loler Roze innit

[Dodgy Bob]

My little girl is called Harmony, we're expecting number two in April but no idea what we're having yet. Our agreement / arrangement is I get to name the girls she gets to name the boys (Christian names only) then we argue / barter over the middle names. Seems fair to me but then again I am winning so far lol

Nope. My middle name (well one of them) is equally as odd as my first name but both my middle names are after my granddads so they are that for a reason unlike these people who just decide they like a name because its "classy"

[WiNgNuTz]

My daughters are called Ellody and Larissa. Can't really say they're not spelt right, and although different, i wouldnt say they're stupid either, but then i guess im biased!

Am I the only one who saw the thread title and thought "dear god who has he knocked up?!" ?

[bigcheez2k3]

Am I the only one who saw the thread title and thought "dear god who has he knocked up?!" ?

Nope, I thought the same and it seems a few others did too

+1

I was actually disappointed with the thread content

[Poodle]

I thought "jesus man, put him/her/it back before anyone notices!".

Lol Chris, can rely on you to lower the tone.

Esmerelda is one that's probably going to get used, funnily enough Rose (or Rosemary) could be another. John is one for the boy/s side of things... Now i think about it, it always seems to be girls that get lumped with the slightly/totally bizarre stuff. Charli just mentioned that she's got a girl called princess at school, worries me....

Flol, apparently there's also one called (not allowed to tell cos confidentiality).

Edit: I do really like florence too actually...

[THE_Liam]

My lass has already named the kids we don't have yet...

Ciaran or Rosin. At least she picked gaelic names, not one person in my family with an English name for some reason....

[amiek]

As for unusual spellings, I do get sick of having to spell "amie", some people even come back with "oh what aimee"... I think I know how to spell my name.

And if people have bad handwriting it hasn't been unknown for Amie to be mistaken for Annie, or even Arnie! (yes that was super embarrassing in school )

[Dum-Dum]

Its nice to see that most people agree that there is stupid names but should they be allowed or should the parents who give them out be punished?

Should the government publish a list of acceptable names and make people pick off that like you get in one of the Scandinavian countries?

[Poodle]

I think having a govt approved list is taking it a bit far, so-called aristocrats are some of the worst offenders as far as I can tell. I'm not sure it's right to control something that personal, takes censorship to a whole new level. Besides, at least this way there's a sort of self-managing stupidity filter in place to warn us - "hi, what's your name? Daughan? No, no thanks, next!".

I wanted to give my kids cool names, but then I think is it really right?

At the school my mum works at one nasty parent called her son John Doe and the girl Adele. I think that is wrong. Though Adele is not a bad name you can't have Adele doe.

[THE_Liam]

Reminds me, went to school with a lass called Jenna Taylor. Say it out loud

[Dum-Dum]

I think everyone wants their kid to have a cool name but IMO col should be naming them after someone cool like a grandparent who did something amazing or like the bloke who designed the spitfire (Reginald Joseph Mitchell) or something

That'd be a bit pointless anyway imo, even if you legally had to have a certain name people could just use nicknames anyway... Infact, most of us probably use atleast a shorter version of our proper name.

I know lots of elderly people that didn't use their proper name...same with some foreign countries as well, my Dads wife uses a nickname completely different to her own....was a bit of a surprise at the wedding!

My dads mrs like that to. Always known her as Vicky, turns out he name is Elizabeth

[Paul_13]

My dad's called Victor Norman Andrews, calls himself Andy

I think Victor is a cool name

[Dum-Dum]

There's a bloke at work called Dave, it was a bit weird finding out his real name is Hussein Elhasogolu cos Dave suits him so well.

[THE_Liam]

I work with a lad called Guljara Rothore, or Bob

[Jake]

My mum worked on the midwife ward thing a while back and genuinly had some parents that let there 5 year old kid name there newborn twins.....


Luke (not so bad) And 'obi one' -. - Middle name star wars. And the parents were fine with that =/

Used to get kids called jesus on a weekly basis too =/
