My parents also gave us names with the same initials. It's a pain in the arse when it comes to mail.
My parents also gave us names with the same initials. It's a pain in the arse when it comes to mail.I remember years back (I think it was because a character on Eastenders had a child called it or something similar) it was the height of sophistication of the chavs of my age to name their daughters ‘Courtney Paris’!
I also used to work for Social Services on the Emergency Duty Team and we used to get some corkers in! There were plenty of girls called Shakira or Chardonnay and also there seemed to be a habit of some larger families (I shouldn’t judge but usually rough ones; I mean, it was the emergency social services team, we didn’t get many candidates for ‘Parent of the Year’!) to name all their children with the same letter, akin to the Kardashian’s but well, worse! There was one with all J’s and another with S’s, to the extent they’d actually alter names to fit the theme. So there was Shaleen, Sheryl, Sharlotte… and the list went on!
I really hope they have a sibling called Tigger or PigletI take your Rue, and I raise you the spelling Rooour estate agents little boy is legit called Roo… I was like ‘aw what’s that short for?’
….’nothing, it’s just Roo’
There's also the Singer Roo panes.I really hope they have a sibling called Tigger or Piglet
I knew someone whose tosser of a husband insisted his name (David) be shortened to Vid as Dave was too commonAlong the lines of shortened, or not actually, names, I remember once seeing some celebrity chef or other on TV and for whatever reason his brother was with him. When it came to introductions his brother’s name was ‘Topher’, which I found a bit odd until it transpired that actually his name was Christopher and he wanted to shorten it but didn’t want to be ‘Chris’ like anyone normal.
‘Wanker’ was what sprang to my mind when I was thinking of more suitable alternatives! I mean, Topher, I ask you!
These can't be real!!!! Balieh .......

People like this make me so furious I have no words. I am amazed she was actually jailed. It's usually a suspended sentence if that.
How can those who do this sort of thing live with themselves?

People need to stop giving pet name to their kids. Lucky will be a perfect cat nameI know a couple who have called their youngest child, a son - Lucky.
Apart from it being a crap name to be saddled with, isn’t it tempting fate?
I have a friend called Mimi. Sounds so childish on a grown woman.Someone I know named her new born daughter Mimi, sorry that is a cat name.

I know someone who named her son Gaige. Her daughters all had normal, unimaginative names that have cropped up repeatedly on this threadChannel surfing this morning. Super nanny was on. A little bit called Guage. Not sure how they were spelling it! (Gaygge!)
It's like Dad was looking through his tool box and calls "Hey honey! We can call the kid Guage! Whaddya think?"
*boy
