Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 to all those names. Wonder if any of them will end up doctors, Rt Hons, etc . At least it'll be easy for them to clarify their names when giving them out as adults - "Tylan as in the vetinary antibiotic", "Map as in Google", "Twinkle as in star" and "Fanta as in orange fizzy drink". What are their parents thinking, seriously . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I read in the papers a few months ago about the French authorities not allowing a set of parents to register their child because of the name that they had chosen.......can't be sure but I think it was Strawberry (ie; fraise!) When I went to register YS with the hospital registrar there was a couple ahead of me who called their son Merlot.....they told me they already had a daughter called Chardonnay; for the very first time in my life I was totally speechless and could only manage an inane grin!!!!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 They also banned Nutella as a name in France . What if that family has another child - Leibfraumilch, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I was in the doctors surgery and a little boy was called. His name is "Substantial Evans" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 A friend of mine knows a Chardonnay. Three guesses what her brother is called... Authorities banned a family from naming their kid Flower. Their last name was Pot.... Edit: calling your kid Nxt, when your last name is Drink, is somehow acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We had a baby called Beyonce at my last practice. She was a large baby and not that pretty and quite a few remarks were made re the fact she wasnt as attractive as the woman she was named after. She may well blossom and be a swan later on in life. I do feel for these tots with silly names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ooh, there's a thread on here from about 5 years ago that I started when I heard a little girl being spoken to at my local station. Her name was Ikea, which turned out, after discussion on here, to be a religious name. A previous neighbour's granddaughter is called Mercedes Cara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Oh I bet I can trump all you guys. Over the last few weeks I have had a "godsgift' and a "princess Diana". Last year I had a "praise jah"!!! We have had a dimple too and a take on casey which was spelt K'C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have come across a Dimple through work, although I understand that it is a common name in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I've come or across one or two parents who've later regretted naming their children after "celebrities" - it seems like the parents were quite young when they had children and they've sort of grown up together but are stuck with the name ... I still find it amusing that Katie Hopkins rants about various names she considers inappropriate - she, apparently, doesn't like place names as names for children ... not sure why she called her daughter India, then?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 And to think my mother was frowned upon for choosing Matthew and Victoria for our names - deemed very old-fashioned at the time apparently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 This thread has made me laugh Mercedes is a traditional Spanish name though, so perhaps Mercedes Cara is of Spanish descent? Or Mercedes Cava as I have just typed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 My husband liked the name Mercedes I did too though but then I told him no cars and no football teams because he told me no flora or fauna. Well that put paid to Forrest then. Poor kid probably would have been called Gump! But then I said no names beginning with B - with Leach as a surname the little darlings would probably be nicknamed Domestos or Harpic!

Cat tails Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Okay well maybe the people originally from North Africa are going over to the ridiculous baby names too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
