Question What's the most outlandish / stupid name you've ever heard?

I know some people insist on calling their babies after their favourite footballer/popstar/filmstar, but a lot of the time the names just don't 'go' with their surname. What's the worst you've heard?

A fe years back my friend was having her baby (linsey, quite normal) and there was a woman in her hospital ward who called her little girl Pocahontas McSorley. God help that kid in a few years time! Can you beat this?

Not stupid but....

I once worked with a lad named Costello and another named Abbot.
I enjoyed calling them both to reception over the pa system when the building was busy.

When I was a young teen I used to go through all my mum's magazines and send off for free gifts and samples and the name I used so that no one would know it was me (never mind it being my mum's address I didn't think of that!!!) was OCTAVIA JANE DEL MORRIS isn't that lovely? But actually my own name takes some beating I always say my husband has been an embarrasment to me since the day we got married because I am MRS. M. BARRAS (my first name begins with an M you see). And to add insult to injury we called our first child Emily - shortened by the whole world to EM.

Robin - unfortunate name for a plumber...

We've got a plumbing and heating company and my husbands name is Robin. I wish I had a pound for every comment like 'robbin xxxxxxx' or 'robbin xxxx'. Come on guys, we're just trying to keep me in the luxury I've become accustomed to. PS Make up your own words in place of the XXXXs

I used to go to a dentist called Ian.

Nothing much wrong with that apart from his name plate simply said
'I Pullem'

Don't interrupt me when I'm ignoring you!

I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.


I like the 7 deadly sins - it's a good check list!
