Lets block the tunnel now, before it spread, like …er Nutella ?

Could end up as ‘worst kids name thread’

I’m reliably informed that there’s a girl in the Wiltshire area named Bacardi Ann Coke

🙁

Well, that narrows things down a bit. I live in Wiltshire, so I must know her. 🙄
You do know how big Wiltshire is, don’t you? [3,485 km2 (1,346 square miles)].

WGAF how big Wiltshire is?

Did you feel a burning need to join in with the thread in spite of having nothing relevant to offer?

I was deliberately vague; had I said Chippenham would you have demanded to know which street as you don’t know her and you think you should know everyone in Chippenham?

From the article on things that have been allowed or not

New Zealand: Number 16 Bus Shelter (yes); Yeah Detroit (no)

Well Number 16, how did you get that name….. what about your brother McDonalds Car Park?

There is a child named “Anakin” in Blackburn. Poor lad looked mortified in the photos taken for the local paper.

Caz xxx

Mother in law used to teach someone called Jedi Starbuck.
A friends mother in law changed her own name to Armani Versace. 😯

Well done the French!

I loved the New Zealand version- a family were banned from calling their kid 4Real so they changed it to Superman.

As a fairly hippyish earth loving romantic I wanted to call our daughter ‘Rainbow’. I was outvoted. probably for the best.

there’s folk in my town who have named (some) of their kids Lambert, Butler and Lambrini

You’d have been in great company, Jamie Oliver’s kids are apparently:

Daisy Boo Pamela
Petal Blossom Rainbow
Buddy Bear Maurice

“Anakin” is a real name isn’t it? at least the pronunciation, spelling may have morphed a bit between countries…

My next door neighbor growing up, a Girl, with a Norwegian Dad, was called “Anneken” (similarly pronounced Anna~Kin) it’s Nordic see…

She would have been named late 70’s maybe 1977-78, not sure the Star wars connection would have sufficiently penetrated popular culture at that point to result in her being named after Darth…

I worked with a guy called Slick Ultra. He had changed his name to that.

We had someone for interview here once whose name was Steve Starlight.

Apparently he was heavily into a well known hit West End musical.

My suggestion of Minnie for our daughter was also overruled.

I wanted to call my daughter Jasmine. Surnames Knight. Also overruled (for the best).

I remember taking PE classes at a local primary school for one of my A-levels, and asking two girls to tell me what their real names were after being told Levi and Porsche. I was so naive back then…

My better half works in matty so we get a few choice ones.

The winner, Echo Beech.

The jaw dropper, Nazi. Asian family- both doctors working in the NHS.
Which leads us to two jokes,
Maybe he comes from a long line of Nazi’s
and
It wouldn’t be too bad if his surnames wasn’t stormtrooper.

The cops raided bob geldoffs house looking for magic mushrooms.
She was out though.

My suggestion of Minnie for our daughter was also overruled.

When my boy was in hospital there was a girl called Minnie Princess 🙄

There was the peanut butter fan and his “son Pat”.

Ironically shit at running round in circles

I saw a photo of a toddler, in the local papers cutest kid competition, called Puppy Dog.

There was a girl called “Cadence” in yesterday’s Bikeability group – how apt!

Porsche

Was it? Or was it Porsha? You do know Levi is a legitimate name as well?

Is it because their names refer to aspirational items that they are ridiculed or because the aspirations are so low? (Ruby vs Chardonnay, Pearl vs Bacardi)

Portia is a well established girl’s name
Porsche is a genuine surname of course, hence the car company
Levi is a well established boy’s name, from the old testament (hence the jeans company). It’s also a surname, see novelist Primo Levi

Mate has a son called Neo

Cheese is growing in popularity I’m told.

Fanny Gash still makes me crack up every time I think that there’s actually someone out there called that.

For years my dad thought Keanu’s character was called ‘Neil’

We took a tour of Victoria, CA with a brilliant guide called ‘Algebra’. Her Brother’s first two names were ‘Luke’ and ‘Skywater’ She was fab tho and explained ‘my parents were kind of hippyish, my dad was a maths lecturer and my mum fancied Mark Hamill so I guess it was inevitable’ 🙂

I went to school with a plethora of Ramsbottoms and the like, and we never found that amusing being all Yorkshire and that. Still we did take the p!ss out of a bloke called Gerald Ramsbottom. Because of being called Gerald of course.

So Randy Gaylord is actually a person!

I had a nice phone conversation with Ragina Sexwhale last year.

In the forces I used to know someone whose surname was masheeter. 😯

Being the jolly lot her majesty’s forces are he had the michael taken out of him. Alot.

The Finns will get this one “Anu saukko”

If you swap the S over the other side it translates roughly as “Anus Opening”

Ragina Sexwhale

EDIT: Damnit he’s a guy!
