What's the stupidest name you've heard someone give their child

[Dalestar]

my cousin has a a kid called Logan Berrisford. I was laughing my ass off at the christening and he could not understand that he'd effectively named his kid Logan-Berry.

 

[Landslide]

I'm friends with the Dale family, one of whom married a girl called Emma...

 

[Dalestar]

my brother also married Emma and our surname is Dale.

Famalies!

 

[Kirstie]

Just to clear this up once and for all here is the definitive source on ridiculous names.

It's painfully funny.

 

[TVC]

A woman at work called her boy Conan, and when in Sydney I heard a woman address her lad Diesel.

 

[Globalti]

I know three Nigerian men called Emmanuel who shorten their names to Emma.

Our chimney sweep has three mad daughters, their names are:

Lexi Carmel, Bailey Madison and I think, Stacey Lee.

Got a kid in my son's class called John-Jo which was the first time I had heard of it. Wife tells me she's seen it before and it is of Irish catholic origin. News to me.

I was in serious danger of being named Jon-James. My name is actually Jon James (no hyphen), but I've put an "h" in the first name and I don't really use my middle name. But "JJ" is quite a good set of initials, especially for a musician.

"Because you had a daughter and chose to call her "Raine"
Because you didn't indicate to go down Woodchurch Lane,
Your Am - Dram class has been postponed indefinitely ..."

by the wonderful Half Man Half Biscuit. It seems relevant.

Caleb is an old Welsh name. Having said that, the wrong spelling is unforgiveable.

think you'll find it's a biblical name...

 

[Sig SilverPrinter]

When i was camping a couple of years ago at Witterings the people in the tent next to us kept calling their daughter La La , now wether this was a nickname or they named her after a telly tubby I don't know.

 

[WindyRob]

i've posted this before; a colleague called his daughter Fiona, nothing strange in that except his surname is Hough, so she became 'F Hough'.

You just have to ask yourself why!

[Carwash]

The son of a Mr. & Mrs. Knight attended the school opposite mine. He - a child of the 80s - had the misfortune to have been named 'Jedi'.

 

[Brains]

Knew a girl called Rosemary Leigh, known of course as Rosy Lee
(Cockney ryming slang for Tea)

My wife currently has a child in one of her classes called Ruby Tuesday

and for many years there was a shipbroker called Eric Hunt whose name was regularily called out over the tannoy system at the old Baltic exchange

I came across a kid whose surname was Pipe and his first name was Duane.
I suppose there are many Irish names that provide some amusement.. The most well known is those poor souls named after st Feighan (pronounced feckin)

 

[Amanda P]

We used to have a teacher at school called Mr Noon. He had two daughters, Eve and Dawn.

Not really silly, almost poetic, really...
