There's a guy on a programe about Restoring Houses called that!.

I know of two kids called Mercedes and Porsche

(regretfully their brother, SkodaLada, was put up for adoption......)

I mean, what do these parents think? Are they drunk/stupid?

...because we all know hw nice school kids can be....

and I thought Kylie, Brittany and Chardonney was as low as it could go, the stupidity of these 'breeders' disturbs me

Christ. I think it only reinforces the theory that culling is a good idea.

I went to a christening a few months back - one of the kids there was called Araminta or Minty for short. Now who names a kid after an East end mechanic?

In my country long time ago name Dazdraperma was popular. It's abbreviation must be sound terrible ever for your ears.

You only have to look at the parents, then you have the answer
I prefer old fashioned names myself.

I remember getting pram-rammed by a woman shouting 'Chanel!' after a little girl merrily elbowing people in the knees

I always thought Patrick was a terrible name but not as bad as Placenta.
It's a real one ,honest..
Only in Scotland.

A guy I know named his daughter after his favourite soccer team.
Lazio Roma

A teacher I know had the name Pstephanie on a list of pupils at the start of the school year. Assuming that it was a typo, she called the girl Stephanie. She was corrected; her name indeed was pronounced P-stephanie.

On a similar note, I worked with someone named Dick Wood, and a former neighbor was named Woody Love. The former is now retired, and the latter was a veteran of the Axis War, so they are not what should be considered newly named. Harry Sheets also caused a smile.

Plus, Douglas Dick in school was called Dickless Doug by fellow 14 year olds in all their compassionate glory.

If we had had a wee lassie I was aiming for Buffy-until I saw the light of day.....

my Mum is called Molly, she hates it, but it is becoming very popular in these days
I think Molly is passe now

It is a problem though - being 2(ish) months away from Mrs. C giving birth (I thought I'd be PC ) we still can't agree on names. The only girls name we have agreed on is Nancy. Boys names are another matter - she still doesn't like Eldritch as a first name for some reason.

Umm, Home- "Andrew" is a very nice name. Why not Andrew..?
She´ll probably like it, don´t ye think?

Tried that one - no go.

How about Wayne?

That would be tempting fate. I don't want an ugly baby. She won't even consider Robochrist
