Names You Can't Stand #5

[talkingcat]

There is a bakery I follow on Instagram, one of the owners just named her new baby girl Inka Rue
There’s trying hard to be different and unique and there’s just choosing horrendous names
Instantly makes me think of squids

The manager of a friend of mine has named her son Brockley.

I wonder if his middle name is tender stem.

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

I know someone with a baby Rue. Horrible name.

I take your Rue, and I raise you the spelling Roo our estate agents little boy is legit called Roo… I was like ‘aw what’s that short for?’

….’nothing, it’s just Roo’

I saw a recent tv programme with an elderly character called Isla-Rose (or something like that?) and just thought it was so unrealistic for someone her age (unless she changed it by deed poll)

I work in a school and I’d never heard of any Isla’s other than Isla Fischer until about 8/10 years ago

I work with a woman who's married but didn't change her name (it's White). She recently told me her daughter is called Isla and I really hope she's got her Dad's surname.

Can’t stand the name Reign, seen 2 people that have used this in the past few months, one for a girl and one for a boy, I can’t even decide which it’s worse on!

Lakeashs, Tanisha, Bostin, Jaydin, Soephie, Blayde, Mate, Bou, Jakib, Balieh, Steele , Parka, Jadeyn, Jaykob. A class of 17 year olds blessed with parents who couldn’t spell.
I have seen my name on here a few times.

They are all shockers but … Mate??

 

[Murphygirl]

In Scotland (usually more the Highlands), a lot of poor women end up with a female version of their dad's name, usually by adding ina
Angusina has such a lovely ring to it

 

[Ruby’s mum]

I know someone with a baby Rue. Horrible name.

My daughter really liked this name after a character in The Hunger Games. Hopefully she will have gone off it by the time she has kids

Isla is an Aussie name to me!

A nurse who I work with named her baby Kingsley Reign and tbh I’m reporting her to the NMC for that

I know of a child called boris. Was born before BJ became PM but still

I went to school with a Brodie in the 00s.

I love Ezra but I know it will age badly.

I don't think Ezra suits a baby, it sounds a bit harsh, I think it would sound better once they hit 20 maybe
