Stupid kids names.

My wife has a friend who named one of her boys Rogan with a middle name of Joshua. She honestly didnt know until after the event that rogan josh is a curry.

Poor boy!

When a was a lad, my neighbour had twin girls called Fanny and Lettuce. Still can't fathom why to this day.

Living in the wrong time and with an inability to spell? Fanny used to be a normal name and Lettice was a medieval English name, an Anglicised form of Laetitia ("joyous").

I find it a bit odd that Charlemagne is being used as a girl's name. It's like naming your daughter Julius Caesar or Richard Lionheart or suchlike.

I've no idea why some people want to place their children at a disadvantage for life, and that is what "special" names do.
 
I named my Daughter a unique name, It's nowt funky & it sounds like the proper version of it when you say it out loud but her name means two things to me her & anybody else that knows. I gave her the name & there are good loving reasons I gave her it, She loves the fact her name means more than just a name just as much as she loves the story I tell her of when me & her Mum sat on the sofa & decided to try for her.
She knows from the First thought she was wanted & every time she hears her name she knows her Dad gave her the name for more than just a Tag.

I'll place money on them not crapping themselves in the slightest. If it happened. Which it didn't.
 
Don't think any of them names are too weird, after all most names mean something really basic when you look them up, so if you look up your own names and find out you are named the "son" or "farmer" or "tree" or something.

Jenny Taylor?

Good article on the BBC about funny names. Stan Still is my personal favourite.

Retired airman Stan Still, 76, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, said his name had been "a blooming millstone around my neck my entire life".
"When I was in the RAF my commanding officer used to shout, 'Stan Still, get a move on' and roll about laughing," he said.
"It got hugely boring after a while."

My name was Susan Frame. I am a lawyer. I met and married Robert who is a banker. His surname is Mee. Now we are Sue Mee, a lawyer, and Rob Mee, a banker - ironic? I have taken no end of stick for this, believe me.

I do hope this is true.

The Mrs and I are expecting a baby in a few months which has led to us firing names at each other. Unfortunately Dr Robotnik, Horus and Guybrush have all been vetoed :(
 
I don't see the problem tbh. Most of the current names people have are only popular because they were in a fictional book. Maybe the ASOIAF ones will be as well and in the future they will be your run of the mill name.
