No way

 

I knew someone that had named their son Tyler. (only knew through work...not a friend)

Not only that but she had 3 daughters with equally chavvy names....can't remember them as she didnt make an impact on my life.....oh and the boy was a ginger!

 

Someone at work has called their lad Rogon....................they also have a middle name that runs in the family, Joshua.

Yep.......youv'e guessed it

Rogon Josh

Just wait till he gets to school LOL


Shaun

Not as much fun as getting a nurse to shout into the waiting room for Orphelia *****

 

very true

 

Where I used to work we had a customer called Mr Wanklin - wouldnt have liked to have been him in school !

There was also a woman who used to sell loads of stuff in freeads where a friend worked, called Mrs De'ath, so they all used to wind her up by calling her Mrs Death whenever they spoke to her.

I think giving your kids 'royal' names is even more pretentious than chavvy ones - we had neighbours who had two boys called Harry and Edward, and they were a pair of tossers.

On this subject though, what is the rationale behind this strange naming thing anyway ? For years people have got by with giving their kids normal names, allowing for some that come and go over time with fashion ( things like Ethel and Maude that were very popular in the 30's and 40's ).

Do people think giving your child an 'interesting' name will somehow make them a better person as they grow up ? And why not give your kid a normal first name, then if you want them to have a stupid name as well, give them one as their middle name, then they can choose which they use when they get older.

 

i used to work with a bloke called Ignatius. we just called him Iggy.

 

remember a woman registering her baby for extra benefit payments. i asked her for the name and she said Wivenny. i asked to spell it and she said Y-V-O-N-N-E. i pissed myself laughing when i left the counter

 

I remember a woman I used to work with had a grand daughter that was called Madison. I asked why she was called that an she replied 'yeah but looks like a Madison doesn't she'

Eh?

 

Everard Dick and his sister Othelia, both from my home town. Think I'm joking? Google it.

 

My ex used to work with someone called Innocent, and the Police turned up and took him away.

 

The similarity between her and the car is that they'll probably be full of chavs when they're 15 years old

 

both girls are very middle class.and married men who mummy and daddy approved of

 

My youngest is named Tristan.

 

there was a girl called storm in my school ?? was a bit of a **** name for anyone


another few

becky-leigh ?
chelsea
rocky
paige-patience
tyler
caan james (lol)


what the **** were there parents thinking

 

Anything that has been based solely on the fact that the child was conceived there.
Eg. Paris, Cruise (not sure how the Beckhams spell it!) I am sure they 'poshed' it up a bit!

 

Here's a new one on me on TV this morning...

Leigha

 

A Relation of some one I know called their daughter Heidi-Boo

 

Quite a nice name, you must be reasonably middle class and they must be at a decent if not necessarily private school as at some ropey dump in an inner city thats enough to get you battered.

It is sometimes a question of perspective, I worked with a bloke whose kids were Peter and Paul (he had never heard the nursery rhyme) but found it hillarious our eldest is called Oscar, named after my favourite Sesame Street character and Rally car type spotlamps.

 

Send him to dancing lessons so he can learn the Foxtrot

 

my five are called -- in order Honey (13),Orlando (10),Gala (6), and twins Prosper (boy) and Sorrel (Girl) - both 3

and I love every one of them -- my only regret is we didn't have another girl to call her Daphne or Clemency

 

Funnily enough, his best mate is called Charlie !

 

Talk me through Sorrel

You named your daughter after a dock leaf?


Many people would see Honey as bordering on pretentious, in my very humble opinion...

 

yes, apparently Sorrel is a herb, used in cooking in the Caribbean (I think)

although you may have me on Dock Leaf

Honey, pretentious, maybe but in our defence used before it became something of a celebrity name
