Re: Stupid Baby names, whats the worst you've heard?

I think some of the names daft celebs call their kids are pretty awful 'Fifi Trixibell' and 'Peaches' are pretty far out!

Our birth children have French names to reflect my ancestry. Our Grandchildren don't have run of the mill names, but they aren't outlandish either.

There is a woman who lives near my Daughter and her daughters name is Penelope but she calls her daughter 'Thing ', it is come here 'thing', dont do that 'thing' be quiet 'thing'

Why do people have children and call them oddball names.

There's nowt wrong with Tom, Dick and Harry or even Molly, Dolly or Polly type names.
Good god , and i thought i`d heard it all .
Lets just hope she does not have anymore , else she may call it ANOTHER .

and we cant be having : one Thing and Another .

A relative called their son Richard William, sounds all right till the kids get hold of it. Dicky Willy.
Now Pax is a nice name, it means peace or a kiss of truce.

Re: Stupid Baby names, whats the worst you've heard?

I don't particularly like old-fashioned names either, although mine is, but was modern in the day and has come back in fashion. My dad's name was Matthew, which again is back in fashion with a vengeance!

I like good old masculine names like Robert, James, George, David, etc, but, the names I would have picked for my children, had I been lucky enough to have had any, would have been for a boy, either Robert or Tom, or for a girl, Sophia or Grace.

I do shudder at the thought of some of these celebrity children with names such as Zowie Bowie! It's just not fair at all.

Re: Stupid Baby names, whats the worst you've heard?

Some of what I would describe as 'old fashioned names are making a come back, some aren't too bad, but I feel sorry for kids lumbered with Sidney, Stanley, Ethel, Ella, Elsie.

Re: Stupid Baby names, whats the worst you've heard?

I remember my grandmother saying how old fashioned Louise and Caroline were as names
Not sure why parents pick these daft names maybe they think it will make them stand out.
We knew a Roy Rogers and a Rose Rose and lastly ....Daisy Chain (Rose and Daisy married into these names)

I was on a course and later worked for the same company with Dave Crockett.

At school I was with a boy called A. Bell. The RI master kept calling him for a taste of his brother, cane.

We used to have a security man in one of the jewellers I worked in, Paddy Locke was his name, everybody called him Padlock, I swear to God.
