Names you can’t stand #3

[Cupid_Stunt]

I was watching an episode of Judge Judy today and one of the plaintiffs was called Tuesday (she was female).

I can just about abide Wednesday for a name (at a push) and Sunday I’m still a bit iffy on but Tuesday?

Rocket stop that now

I know! I’m from Scotland too and calling someone an absolute rocket is not a compliment.

I can’t say it without pronouncing the T Mar-got! There’s no place for the T there

 

[Lanalocksley]

Navaeh usually followed with "its heaven spelt backwards"
Well evaworcim is microwave spelt backwards doesn't mean I want to call my kid it

My partner is Scottish and I love how they pronounce Margot. But if you're southern it just sounds horribly posh!

Midwife here so get to witness lots of gorgeous names as well as the sublimely ridiculous. All time favourite has to be the lady who love Beyoncé and Shakera so called her baby Shabonce

Poor child

Tyler
Lexi
Jayden
Amy-lee

TJ
CJ
DJ
AJ
I know of kids with these initials as their names on their birth certificates.

 

[petitspois]

I'd honestly never heard of the name nevaeh before this thread. I agree it's shocking.

I think Margot would be OK for a cat. Just reminds me of The Good Life.

A family I know have a boy and a girl.... Ben and Nevis. Not even shitting you.

Do the parents think they are going to be like Ant & Dec where their names are always called out together? They are not a pair of goldfish or pets where you would say their names together, they are/or will be adults eventually.

Ben & Nevis said together, yes I get it, but when they are independent of each other then Ben will get off lightly and Nevis will be stuck with this unusual name by herself which will sound out of context when not said with her brother Ben

someone i know has called her daughter "Zeplynn"
Not because they are fans of led zeppelin, i dont actually know why they picked that name. But they are the type of people who try too hard to be different and edgy and cool.
*I love Led Zeppelin and watched them at the 2007 celebration day, but i wouldnt ever call my daughter Zeplynn. lol.

Also, loads of people have called their babies 'frankie'. I dont understand that. Im not sure how someone can see a newborn and decide frankie is a good name tbh.

I've recently seen a baby called Digby

You need to see the movie "what happened to monday". Seven sisters one for every day of the week!

Margot. Really hate it but popular now!!

That's my fake name on my spare insta account!!

I recently found out that one of the teenagers I used to work with in the PRU now has two sons called Blu and Cub
Have I won the thread?


A family I used to work with had 4 children, 3 were called Kia, Kai and Kay. The fourth was randomly called Amanda.

"A man da " said in Rachel from Friends voice.

My friends boyfriend wanted to call their daughter Vada because he was a Star Wars fan..
