Kid's names

Awesome! I love a good ridiculous name!

Ridiculous.

At the school I used to work at we had an abracadabra!

And TWO lads called "Elvis" ?

What is wrong with these people?!

I might call my kids "Amaze" and "Balls"

Balls is my new fave. The cats answer to Knobhead so why not have a kid called Balls.

I used to know a little girl called Treacle and couldn't help myself but say 'Alright Treacle' everytime I saw her.

I've heard that when you register a baby they can refuse the name. So how has someone named their kid Abracadabra?!

My nephew goes to school with a kid named Red. He doesn't even have Red hair.

Versace McLatchie - oh yes and his siblings Gucci and Armani.....

They are bad but the worst is La-a which is pronounced La dash a. Just call her Ladasha for goodness sake, that's an acceptable enough name.

I think the UK is fairly relaxed but Sweden has really strict rules and all names have to be approved. You can't name a girl a traditionally male name and vice versa. It's led to people trying to get weird names past the rules - one was Lego - it was rejected.

I also remember reading about a girl called Talula does the Hula from Hawaii. She changed her name at 9 years old.

On the plus side at least Admire and Agent are spelt correctly.

I love a good stupid name. There is some hippy woman who lives in my town who's surname is roots which I think she changed my deed poll

Her girls are called Bracken and Briar. FFS.

Some people never fail to amaze me with their choices of kids names. The worst I know is a little boy called Diesel. F**king Diesel. In fact the name is that stupid he should actually be called "F**king Diesel"

You obviously don't live in Glasgow if that's the worst you've heard!!!

We are awaiting the transition of a girl named Cheddar.

I work for a kids hosp department and we have a

Brioche - yes, like the bread

Tikka and masalla - yes, twins, and yes, like the curry!!!!!!

It makes my day when I come across a mad name - these kids just don't have a cat in hells chance do they?

I seem to remember reading in the paper about a baby called Number 37 Bus Stop. Not sure what country it was in though.

Oh Dear, wonders never cease!

We have one of these too... L - A, ffs!!!

A girl I knew at school and befriended on facebook (until last week when she insisted on reposting those bloody Robert Thompson/Jon Venables pictures) called her daughter Precious. I kid you not. Cringe!

Oh my gosh. They should have the kids taken away if this is what they come up with when going to register the birth!

p.s is it bad that I want a curry now?

More please! These are cracking me up!

My H has 2 clients called Metallica, and Anywhere.

And people have the nerve to diss my youngest sons name, pah. Sadly, I have a friend who called her daughter Renesmee. Massive Twilight fan.

Oh come on. No-one is called that. It's too cheesy.

Or alternatively Gorge-ous

This is quite a common name in families of African origin - the heroine of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency is called Precious isn't she?

I've seen quite a lot of bizarre names when working in paediatrics/GP. I have to say though, they don't bother me half as much as people who give their child a normal name and then insist on spelling it in a "quirky" way e.g. Djessycka, Dannyul etc. Or put apostrophes in unnecessarily - Cam'ron is one particular bugbear; what's wrong with Cameron?! They're just condemning their child to a lifetime of people getting it wrong on all sorts of documents and constantly having to spell it out over the phone.

I believe someone actually called their daughter Ikea - I remember it being in the papers.

Anyone remember the Harry Enfield Slobs characters? Called their daughter Frogmella Rothmans 'cos its exotic innit'.

And cos "Ashtray is a boy's name, innit?"

He was an EAL student, so he may have been born overseas. Although i'd not have been surprised if that had slipped through in the UK given some of the names posted ?

One of my pet hates! The FIL of one of my friends used to be a truant officer in one of the more dubious areas of London. The best 2 names he came across were Arry and Arfer (AKA Harry and Arthur).
