Lachlan sounds like the noise my cat makes when he has a furball!

My friend has a child Rain , I think it’s actually Lorraine but Rain is her nickname , I think it’s awful

Agree. It’s such a harsh sounding name.

Yes but what was said is that there is a similar name in Irish.
The similar name is Oisin, it means little deer or fawn.
There are other spellings of Oisin and I'm fairly certain there's a fada in there somewhere too.

theres a Welsh version that’s spelt Osian too.
I used to know a guy who shortened this to Osh.

I work in a pre school and we have so many Romans, one Vincent and a Kasper (yes with a K).

Also, there’s a girl called Dora too, and yes she’s a bit of an explorer.

Someone I know has just had a Miley-Rae..

I always think Cyrus whenever I see it on Facebook. Why both names?! Did no one tell her? Did she know? Is this lady in her 40s a huge Miley Ray Cyrus fan?! We will never know.

I thought the names I genuinely Iove for possible kids were funny because they sound pretentious, but this is on a whole new level.

Same with Moose and Banjo

I suppose Cat could be short for Catherine and Chick could be short for, um, short for Chicken??

ETA I know a cat called Banjo. It is an excellent name - for a cat.

Diana Ross has a daughter called Chudney.

Catalina & Chiquita - right pair of shitbags too

[Sancho Panza]

Moose?? That’s seriously bloody terrible!!

 

[Bogwoppit]

My son was on about names the other night & said if he ever had a child he would call it Chutney, he was deadly serious as well. I bloody hope he comes to his senses when has kids

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

My kids have got really pretentious names, love both of them. I'm not saying what, but happy to reassure you all that there are no hyphens, Mae/May/Mai etc involved. They're just kind of a bit 'out there'.

I met a Blythe today. I know them through a Facebook group. Their surname is also a first name (a proper one, like James or Thomas) and I assumed that for whatever reason, they'd deliberately switched their names around on Facebook. They hadn't.
