Awesome names that you never call your kid

[danoliver1]

I worked worked with a Merlin for a while, great name. He particularly liked it when people stood in front of him in the hallway and shouted "YOU SHALL NOT PASS".

Wasnt that Gandalf not Merlin.

 

[molinari]

Some one I used to work with called their son Thor (he was Swedish though).

 

[Burnsy2023]

Wasnt that Gandalf not Merlin.

Indeed geek fail.

Adolf. It will take few hundred years before anyone dares. Same thing with the moustache. Was Chaplin's, few years later not so much...

 

[Siliconslave]

Love that kevin smith called his daughter Harley Quinn... a friend wanted to give his son the middle name(s) 'the jackal' which would have been awesome

 

[Kenai]

One of ex-colleagues called his son "Loki". This was before the films came out, and he got it directly (AFAIK) from the original Norse mythology.

Directly from Norse mythology

Read as:

Too embarrassed to admit he reads comic books

 

[Nitefly]

Sharkmaster 2000.

 

[Castiel]

Snake Pliskin....I tried but the wife was having none of it, she wouldn't go for Odysseus either. I was actually kinda serious about that and the next one, Horatio.

 

[Lartyconshayo]

Maximillion has always been on the hopeful list. Mrs shot it down though even though he is a saint in Poland

 

[Uncle Petey]

A kid at my school was called Zoot.

 

[KautoStar]

Adolf. It will take few hundred years before anyone dares. Same thing with the moustache. Was Chaplin's, few years later not so much...

Didn't some parents in merica call their children something Nazi related and have them took off them. Can't quite remember the story now.

Anyways, I would say something x-files related so a Fox or Dana.

Next dog is going be a Doberman called queequeg

 

[Redz]

The most bizarre I've come across is the name Voice of Truth. It was when I worked for the DWP dealing with DLA claims; Voice of Truth was a customer who had changed his name by deed poll.

 

[itchy]

Hercules, He-Man or Poison ivy!

Dillon

Named after the Magic Roundabout character.

 

[OhEsEcks]

My cousin is called Sue. But it's spelt Sioux like the native American people. I don't know what the hell my aunt and uncle were thinking (but I'm pretty sure I know what my uncle was smoking).

I hate kids for the most part. So if I was unfortunate enough to have any, I'd probably call them something that ensured their life was miserable. Like Adolf, Stalin, Pol, Genghis...

.... and that was the whole point ....

"Kauto mysterious smoking man Star". Got a ring to it.

 

[Gregster]

[kwerk]

Pickles.

 

[Westyfield2]

Not sure what I'd call my young goat.

For a human child though, I'd stick with a traditional name. Something that doesn't age, and isn't likely to get them bullied.
