[Closed] Children named after where they were conceived

my sister is called cortina; after the back seat of a ford!

one of our freinds has a kid called 'kitchen table' which is taking things a bit far, really.

From my knowledge of a short time living in Wythenshaw (south Manchester) most of the kids should have been called "behind the bus station"

we mentioned calling our child keith lee *****. but obviously we won't really.

Had a teacher mate from NZ and the Mauris do it alot. The most bizzare example he came across was a kid called Mount Albert Bus Stop. it was rarely used in full apparently.

Brooklyn Beckham wasn't the first. There are more famous examples. Such as...

CM - I [i]think[/i] I get that. 😀

Mount Albert Bus Stop

How did Albert give birth?

Mount Albert Bus Stop

This looks more like a description of events which occurred before conception.

CM - I think I get that.

Racist!

Does anyone still do this? Would you let the child know? I like the idea but surely most children who are the age to ask about their names would be mortified about any converstaion which referred to their conception. Secondly, I know the Beckhams did it with Brooklyn, but who else was there?

Not sure but looks like Auckland is twined with Wythenshaw

Broom Cupboard Becker FTW!

There was once this Indian guy and he didn't like his name so he went to the chief and asked him if he could change it. "No!" the chief said, "You know our custom! After the woman gives birth she looks out of the Tepee and names the child after the first thing she sees." the man sighed and said, "Well, thanks anyway, Chief Running Deer." The chief replied, "You're welcome, Two Dogs F*****g."

My middle name is Sacristan

sensitive issue this one for me

My sister's middle name is Convent.

Wonder what Mary and Joseph would have decided on?

God knows.

That whole Brooklyn thing is just a big fib anyway - the rumour is he was really conceived in Ecclefechan. The point is - you can make it up. Call your kid Everest Base Camp if you like, unless anyone was watching nobody really knows where they were conceived.

They went with something a bit Latin American

'Daddy', says the young American Indian
'Is it true my sisters and I are named after the first thing you saw when you left the teepee after we were born'

'Yes Two Dogs ****ing, it is, why do you ask...?'

IGMC......

Would that be the same joke as above?

depends if **** is the same as ****

Thanks very much to everyone for their helpful information and constructive advice. CM, if your picture is of the actress and not the character, then you have a perverse mind. Well done.

I used to live in an apartment complex on the Greenwich - Deptford border, neither of those make particularly good baby names but the building we lived in was called Indiana, Wife overrulled it 🙁

Ha, I was thinking about this the other day having killed a bit of time waiting for the rain to subside on Sunday in coed y brenin car park. Either coed or brenin are actually quite cool. Carpark not so much 😆

Isn't Donovan's daughter called Astrella Celeste ..........

Did anyone see you at it? Hora gets very jealous of such goings on.

Staffs folk have the example of Rudyard Kipling.

My darling daughter would have had Berkeley as a middle name, had she been a boy. There are some very peaceful spots in the castle grounds.

She doesn't know.

I was nearly called Dalnair

I know know of two boys called Sheffield and Red - I always wondered if United's ground had a quiet corner or room...

My manager and his wife conceived their child 12 years ago in Hong Kong and their surname is Phooey, so their daughter is called Hong Kong Phooey!

No, that's not the whole truth, the bit about conceived in Hong Kong is true, but they named their daughter Asia.

a friend of mine called his daughter Meribel.

they own a chalet there. which makes it so, so much worse.

Fanny Cradock?

There's a great mountain at home in newzealand called Whakapapa. The maori pronounce the "wh" as a "f"

Probably not so popular with mums to be. ...

I went to school with a guy called Glen whose middle name specified which one he was conceived in.

My poor son would have been called 'Carina Layby' but my daughter would have had the more acceptable 'Torry'. She is in fact called Corran, after the ferry near Fort William, but not because she was conceived on it. The crossing is not nearly long enough for that... 😉

My brother's called Dressing Room Of Heart Of Midlothian Football Club.

Yet another version of the Two Dogs joke:

"In my tribe we're traditionally named after the first thing the mother sees when she looks out of the teepee after the birth. it's short for One-Man-Pouring-a-Bucket-of-Water-over-Two-Dogs."
"That's pretty unfortunate," said Windle.
"it's not too bad," said One-Man-Bucket. "it was my twin brother you had to feel sorry for. She looked out ten seconds before me to give him his name."
Windle Poons thought about it.
"Don't tell me, let me guess," he said. "Two-Dogs-Fighting?"
"Two-Dogs-Fighting? Two-Dogs-Fighting?" said One-Man-Bucket. "wow, he'd have given his right arm to be called Two-Dogs-Fighting."

That is disgusting and says alot about his parents. Poor fella.

Return ticket may just about do it....

I guy a used to work with called his daughter 'Storm', as she was born in the new years days storms back in the late 90's. I expect by now she'll be thinking Gayle would have been sufficient.
