Pronounced Ledasha.

Used mostly for girls so I don't know what the French would say

I was at an airshow few years ago, the women next to me called her son 'Lorken'. What sort of a ****ing name is that?

hodgy0_2

I like it, but then I do have a brother-in-law called Cathal

anyway better than

Barry (Baz), Kevin (Kev), David (Dave), Simon (Si), Peter (Pete), etc etc

How about the name Lorelai? I heard it on TV the other day and I actually think it's a nice pretty name. Pronounced 'lor-a-lie'.

Whats wrong with Coralie? that's a common name.

I have heard someone calling their kid Armani after Armani designer gear. Another one is called Jamborekwaii (variation in spelling was made by them to look even more different!) and another one known as Oasis.

I also know someone who named their female child after a prostitute. I found that quite strange.

Another one is called Tarperlo. Parents think it sounds fantastic with it ending in O- like Bard's Othello, I suppose. Another one is Farfeqya- too far-fetched, I reckon. Both names made up by parents with no meaning whatsoever. Things people do to make their children look exclusive. Poor kids.

How do arrive at that? Please go back to your old medication

I believe Wendy was invented as a name (in Peter Pan?) in the early 1900s, so it's not a new idea to make them up.

Turbohot

Oh, right! I never knew that. I thought Wendy had some meaning. Now I know it means a character from Peter Pan, not Bible.

What about all those strange names such as Sabah, Mohammad, Kanika, Nutan, etc

Turbohot

Those names do have meanings, you numptie! They're not some made up names for half-head parental thrill with the potential of making their children a target for school bullying/ridicule.

Kanika is a wife to Lord Kana. Nutan means newness, not Newton's sister or something. Mohammad means a kind of god in a religion, and Sabah is also something like that, I think.

hodgy0_2

nothing wrong with it

Chip

Oops read the post wrong on my phone. Thought it was a new girls fashion name you were talking about. My apologies old boy

dpb

You could put le -a

On her passport as meaning ledesha


Don't think so

Haha I was only joking around but I never knew what they actually meant. What does Swati mean if you don't mind me asking?

dpb

Heavenly mansion of the moon

Turbohot

I know you were joking, L. I was bantering with you.

Swati means a nakshatra; meaning a star that is a spouse to Lord Surya (Sun God). Apparently this star releases a life-giving droplet once every two hundred years. If that droplet falls in a snake's mouth, it turns into poison- what a waste. If it falls on the earth, it loses its entity, and takes the entity of this giant earth- what a transformation. The third one is an open sea shell. If the droplets falls in it, the sea shell closes, and it turns into a precious pearl. The fourth one is a thirsty bird that only waits for that droplet for all those 200 yrs. to satisfy its thirst. Now if that bird is fortunate, the droplet gets dropped into its mouth, and quenches its long lasting thirst- best task.

So, there we are.

Hope you haven't fallen asleep upon reading all that, but you did ask.
