Terrible names

I went to uni with a guy called King. I thought that was quite cool but at the same time ridiculous. A guy at my school had the middle name Haddon; whenever his full name was on display anywhere in school someone would doctor an R in after the A.
 
I was on a maternity ward and a lady had a baby girl, and was intending to call her Jenny-Talia. The staff convinced her it was not a good idea....
 
There was a girl called collagen on the X-factor, which is an appalling name.


I've got a little cousin called Felix Exite Munt
 
Thor is a tough name to live up to, cHk4. i hope for your sake you're nothing less than 6ft and 110kg or you're a mockery of the name!

wayne, dwayne, kye. all awful.

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.

Apart from Arthur the rest of the names are popular with chavs. At work we have an obese girl called Savannah.

I've always liked the name Patrick and would consider calling my boy that if I ever had one.
 
Child abuse. Seriously it is. It's purely for the parents' own selfish desire. Poor kids grow up being mocked and bullied or forced into certain stereotypes. Then have to have their name changed. But they'll never shake it off for good.

Imagine being called Princess? or Apple. Or Pippy. I mean seriously. You limit their life chances so drastically doing that.

When we named our kids we sat down and went through every single possible slang term or ****-take someone could come up with for each name until we found names that couldn't realistically cause problems, plus were easy to spell and pronounce and didn't pigeonhole the kids into stereotypes. Was a difficult process but worth it.

That is a power name.

I have a child on the way and I want to call it Kingdom if it is a boy, but my missus will not allow it. :(

6 foot 3 and 130k+... Glad I'm not small with a name like Thor to be honest.

New Zealand has limits on names, rightly so when you want to call your kid 'ANAL' etc...

some people, as you say, should be done for child abuse with the names they give.

i mean my name is Liam. pretty common nowadays but back in the 70s only irish people had the name. i was called Luke, Leon, Ian etc by many people. im sure a lot of people thought i had a speech impediment. i hated that name for so many years. probably until prodigy came out as Liam is the main man. then oasis with another Liam. now its really popular?!?!

Our son is called Alexander. he can shorten it however he likes when he gets a bit older. at the moment we call him Alex unless he is naughty. we had to go through loads of names and ended up with Alexander just after he was born. we hadnt intended it. oddly as we looked at him in the hospital (after emergency c-section) there was a sign on the wall saying 'Alexa' and the rest was obscured. thats how he got his name.
