Suck.

[Riff Raff]

And I always thought Rumpeepumpee was such a beautiful name for a girl - *sigh* I guess I'll just have to rethink names for if and when I boost the population - hmm, what about Apple.... :bleh:

[El Dopa]

No boys named Sue, then?

Horatio

Alas - I knew him .... (sorry)

Source? I want to see the source for that - who would have called their daughter "Crotch" - that's just WRONG! (funny - but wrong)

that's gotta be a life sentence doesn't it!, poor kids!

[Hitcher]

I always thought that Chlamydia would make a lovely name for someone's tot...

My youngest brothers wife is named Apple.
She's Asian,go figure.
When I asked if they'd name their first born "Pip" they didn't even crack a smile.
No sense of humour some people :spudwhat:
Mind you, who the fuck would name their kid "beelzebub or scrote" :no:

[Warren]

I don't know what thise parents were thinking when choosing those names for their kids, maby their parents chose stupid names for them. Parents should have to get the names approved by some department unless the proposed name is on a pre-approved list.

[Warren]

I wonder how many kids are named "The Fonz"

[bluninja]

No boys named Sue, then?

I'd call them Harry, George....anything at all but Sue ! :whistle:

[avgas]

Dingo..................

[bluninja]

What about Bonnie Harley for a girls name?

[moko]

Silly cow I know called her girl Billie-Joe,lovely kid but the local kids already call her B-J in all innocence while the teenagers snicker,girls going to have a hell of a life when she`s a bit older.
Young guy at work has called his new daughter Summer,very poetic and all that but his surname`s Plummer,poor kid sounds like a Korean car company or something.
Brit missing in Phuket right now has the name Lincoln Abraham,what kind of parents do that to a kid,biggest culprit has to be Frank Zappa,son Dweezel,daughter Moon Unit(!!!)

[Ghost Lemur]

...biggest culprit has to be Frank Zappa,son Dweezel,daughter Moon Unit(!!!)

Interesting story I heard behind Dweezels name. The nurse refused to write it as his name on the birth certificate, so Frank rambled off this huge list of (normal) names and made her write them all down. When Dweezel was told this story when he was older, he chose(sp?) to change his name to what it was intended to be.

For those who don't know where the name came from, it was Franks nicname for his wife's bigtoe.

My kids are Dante and Sebastian. Original enough for them to feel some sense of inderviduality, but easy to spell and unlikely to get them strange looks. Wanted to name Sebastian Poe, after Edgar Allen, and keep the literary theme (Dante was named after Dante Aligieri). Got totally overruled on that one though.
Could never have named a kid John or James, etc.

[moko]

Then there`s Bob Geldof`s kids,Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie

[MSTRS]

There was a butcher in Glasgow many years ago named Ian Mark Smellie Go figure

[Yokai]

I know the following people:

A girl called Bobby-Jo - 9 years old - known as BJ at school - poor kid ...
Went to school with a guy called Richard Head
Worked with a guy called Michael Hunt - known as Mike.... figger it out.
Pair of brothers at highschool called Paul and Peter Peters.... ???!
And my favourite is in a book called "The battle of St. George Without" - Dawn Mudd!!!!

I went to school with Wayne Kerr. Dealt with a local politician named Naughty Sea Monkey. There's plenty of Harleys and Bonnevilles out there, I've met a Fireblade and a bad guy on the run at the moment is James Triple M Ford

[Hitcher]

I've met in my life so far:

Tui Bird
Catherine Wheel
Kerry Hunt (subtle that one, Dr Spooner)
Dr Phillip Graves
Randy Lei

[sels1]

Our local Dog Ranger is Mr Wolf (true!). And his brother works for the Wgtn SPCA

[Hitcher]

Oh, and the legendary Hemi Royds...

[Riff Raff]

Knew a guy called Wayne King and his sister Jo King. Mother was a nutcase and gave them their names cos she thought it was funny!

[bluninja]

My mate John named his daughter Holly.....Day. Another mate called Chris Plant married a lady called Hazel.

What amazes me is that so many people don't ever change their names. After all the given names identify more about the parents than the children given them.

[Hitcher]

One of the more ironic aspects of the Christchurch "body in the backyard case" (the one where the woman poisoned her husband and then buried his body) was that the said victim's name was Doug Gardener...

[toads]

a friend of mine has a relative who named his daughter amanda ( lynn)
which I thought was quite funny, and obviously unintentional. another badly chosen name I've heard of is Theresa Green, who my kids went to school with, and also a cousin of mine had the unfortunate initials P.I.G, he never changed his name either.
another kid my kids went to school with rejoiced in the first name Douche, which sounded very romantic unless you knew what one was! lol

[Blakamin]
