Names You Can't Stand #5

[GladiatorReady]

As in after the Marvel character bet he’ll have a brother called Loki

Call your pets after fictional characters not your kids (unless it’s a name that’s not obvious)

Whenever I see names like that I just think of all the Twilight fans who will have grown up since reading the books but will always have a daughter with a made-up name from it

I follow a business page on Instagram and the owner announced her baby boy this week with a picture of him holding a little sign “ hello .. my name is Bucky.

Bucky!!

I’m from Glasgow and all I can think about is a bottle of Buckfast tonic wine as it’s normally called Bucky

That’s all I thought of as well and then hoped for the wee guy that he doesn’t have protruding front teeth

Robin popped up in my head Grrr

Oh and D!ck when shortened from Richard

 

[Inforapenny]

Weak, twee names Tim, Rupert, Robin, Frances, Toby. I just imagine they have a rather limp handshake.

Tim did you say?

 

[Blue pumpkin]

I quite like Robin. It's one that suits both baby and an adult
Rupert is just plain cruel though.

 

[Bizziebody]

Sharlette, Delvene, Darlene, Marlene, Henrietta & Penelope. Rodney, Wilbur, Wilfred.

Heard a 'Harmony' yesterday, reminds me of the girl from The Queens Nose

Was she not called Melody?

 

[Pesky Tarian]

Was she not called Melody?

I think they were sisters Harmony and Melody

In addition I've never met a Harriet who isn't sulky AF

I like Robyn for a girl. Rupert is bad though, I'd call a dog Rupert but not another human being

Someone I used to work with has twins called Daisy and Maisy. Both nice enough names but it’s so gimmicky to use them for siblings.

Or those people who called their kid khalessi then hated the GoT ending

Rupert is awful- makes me think of like a guy who’d call his mother “Mummy” even when he’s 45 and would have her iron his boxers

 

[Melian]

Rupert always reminds me of Rupert Bear!

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

Rupert Campbell-Black though...

 

[GladiatorReady]

I think of Rupert Bear first but it does seem like an incredibly posh name. To the point I was surprised there wasn't a Rupert Rees-Mogg

 

[rainbowlemon]

Tim did you say?

Haven't heard Tim in years. I love Robin too.

My fave name of today is Otto.

There's a insta family with a Barnaby.

I'm met a Sebastian and a Hugo.

I cannot STAND Busy Philipps' kids' names - Birdie and Cricket. I'm almost positive has a tattoo for each of their namesakes too. Mind you if my name was Elizabeth, Busy certainly wouldn't be the abbreviation I'd choose just seen I am not the first person to mention them in this thread and I'm so glad, you are my people.

Alfred Wulfric ahahaha as in Dumbledore

Busy is an awful name. My Gran used to tell her dog to "get busy", when she wanted her to do a poo quickly. Ha.
