St John, pronounced Singen. Another bad one.

I don't think I've heard of that outside of Jane Eyre TBH

This just makes me think of Rowen Atkinson in Four Weddings

This is my husband’s middle name. Thankfully not his first

I know gardener that named his daughter Magnolia after the flower. I don't like other flower names like Daisy and Rose but this has to be the worst

When I see the word magnolia I think of paint and not flowers

I picked up air freshener once and it was magnolia scent. I asked my mum why would you want a paint scented spray

Reminds me of someone I knew who had named a child Camellia ... I guarantee people will just confuse it with "Camilla"

My hairdresser named her baby TEDDY. I don't know if he'll be able to bear all the growls at school, and may need to paws for honey snacks.

See, I like the name Theodore and if someone ends up with the nickname Teddy / Ted then that is fine... but Teddy alone as a name is not great, lol.

Someone I know has just had a baby girl Beryl

I've seen a family on Instagram with 3 girls called Lemmon, Honey and Magnolia

I know someone called Plum. That's their full name, not nickname. I used to use Plum as a silly insult, as in 'what are you on about you plum!'

You know how Bear is getting more and more popular? Well it’s gone next level - people are hyphenating with it now. Stumbled across a photo of a little boy called Grayson-Bear this week.

Nothing looks more like “we couldn’t decide on a name” than chucking two names that sound horrible together with a hyphen.

In our town there are twins called Destiny and Eternity.
We also have a Snow (surname White).
I know a man called River.

These last few posts are hilarious just the light-hearted relief you need at times like these. Baby Beryl with a mop of grey hair.

I remember when icky names were really coarse like Wayne and Kelly, but millennial ones take the biscuit. Bless them for thinking they’re being classy by hyphenating but the humble hyphen is now effectively a name woman stamp.

These have me howling!! It beggars belief parents actually give their children names like these!

There was a girl in my daughters baby group called Florence-Rose and her parents insisted it wasn't to be shortened in anyway. We used to refer to her as Flo-Ro when talking about her

Chudney. Daughter of Diana Ross. Imagine going through life with that as your name.

“Chud” for short

As if Chudney wasn't bad enough! There's a movie called C.H.U.D and it's an acronym for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller
