Your name is legion but on Friday nights you dress up as a ballet dancer and call yourself Shirley?

Admittedly, my Latin is rusty.

Aye, it is a bit rusty...it's Sandra and it's ballroom on Friday, Ballet is Wednesday.

I should call you Legion because you have erectile dysfunction. Little rusty too.

Anatomically I only have one leg.........yet I appear to walk on two.

No, no, I looked it up and it's definitely something to do with Castiel's days in the Navy.

You sure it doesn't mean Castiel sang "in the Navy" when he was in a Village People tribute band.

I met a girl the other week called Tuesday. My friend just named his son Arlo.
Old fashioned names seem to be coming back; I have cousins named Stanley, Arthur, Felix, Alfie, and Maisy.
For the record I think they are all terrible.

Rather fine name.

I know a couple of women called Tuesday, it is reasonably common.

Probably to do with the Poem I suspect.

I also have noticed that traditional names such as Alfie, Harry, Maisy and so on have been getting increasingly popular. Having a 13 year old son means that we get to hear all kinds of names of his friends at school and it certainly appears that there are lots of kids with what we might consider old fashioned names.

Celine Dion (as in one long word)..for a boy.

Did I win?

EDIT: the funniest I've seen is Le-a (pronounce Ledasha, as in Le(dash)a, geddit?)

OH LAWD, they both deserve prison time, but the second one? LIFE!

I quite like Alfie

Maisy reminds me of a cow in a field for some reason. It must be in an advertisement or something... Maisy the cow?

I'm a stickler for traditional names but recently I've come across some truly awful ones, such as Princess and Empress.

However, a child is being brought in this morning with the name Justin Bieber. I just can't believe someone would do that to a child.

Anyone got any more?

Brother and sister combination "Prince" and "Princess" were at my middle school. I would tell you the last name but it was something Nigerian (Where they were from) and I can't spell it properly.

A pretty normal name, but spelled weirdly because the parent's want to stand out from the rest of the council estate. Alysyn etc.

Ahleckz · 25 Sep 2012 at 11:40

Logan.

You really ought to see a load of Asian names if you want embarassing ones like mine.

I like it when parents name their child after the circumstances of conception. Chardonnay, for example. Though I suppose it's better than Disabled Toilet.

Gah, blatant rip-off

Are you sure that Prince and Princess was not just the English translation of the name they were given at birth?

A lot of name "mean" something, but we don't translate them to their meaning because it's stupid. So actually calling your child meaning rather than the preferred name is equally stupid imo

bhavv · 25 Sep 2012 at 11:49

Ooh, can I be called the English translation of my name?

You may now refer to me as 'Lord of the world'.

It's quite possibly thinking about it... I mean, given my name what it is supposed to mean (According to the internet) is "narrow piece of land". That would be a stupid name.
