Stupid Names For Kids

[Jacksgranda]

thats exactly what they do, any pleas for urgent completion get ignored for this reason.

Quite right, you are!

[Jacksgranda]

In my daughter's nursery class there is a Kynnidie.

Im not even sure I know what it is supposed to be.

You mean male or female or how it's pronounced?

Sounds like the name of a farm in rural Fife, probably pronounced entirely differently from how it's spelled.

One of my neighbours has a son called Immanuelle. No idea if that's the correct spelling, and I'd rather not find out.

You could be onto something there, maybe it is where the child was conceived...

im in an unfortunate position where my surname can be a first name and i constantly get emails referring to me by my surname, its even worse when they are replying to me and ignore the signature line on the bottom line.

Same here. My middle name can also be either a first name or a surname, so that doesn't help much either.

In my experience people don't read the signature on e-mails, they go by your e-mail address, e.g. signed Tommy Hunter, e-mail address Hunter.Thomas@yahoo.co.uk, and they e-mail back "Dear Hunter".

I get that even with my name the usual way round in my email address. For some reason I always feel it would be impolite to tell people "actually that's my surname". I did once address one such offender by his surname just to try and make a point, he immediately corrected me but didn't appear to cotton on.

I'm in the position where my first name and surname can be either which had led to lots of confusion over the years.

There was a poor child at my son's old nursery who had the unfortunate moniker of being called "Diesel", needless to say the child's father had the obligatory neck tattoo and massive wheels on his chav wagon!

Just phoned the missus and she reckons its a wee lassie called Kennedy.

That was my first thought for Kynnidie, but I'll still go for 'Keeny' for the hell of it.

[speccy1984]

I seen one this morning, their surname is Clark, they named the child Kent. I have very little doubt this is purely for the school register jokes.

I put this forward last year when they found out it was a boy, never expected them to use it.

Was at nursery with a kid called Peregrine. We all assumed his name was Perry Green.

[KillieCon]

My missus is a midwife so she sees kids being called stupid names on a daily basis. Best one I heard recently was Timotei. After the shampoo.

[Ranaldo Bairn]

Was it maybe Timothy O'Tay?

Like the man who invented shampoo, Albert O'Balsam.

The mum was probably flying with speed when she named him imo.

My wee brother goes to school with an Indiana Jones.

[Zetterlund]

Some may remember the couple from this area who made the news a few years back for calling their wee one Boo Tiger. A lifetime of bullying to ensue, hopefully also for the parents.

[Fudge]

My girlfriend teaches a girl called K-a, pronounced Ka dash ah.

[uberman]

I know someone who named his daughter velvet Octavia, he also dresses like alan partridge when he goes to owl sanctuary's.

[mizfit]

I went to school with someone called Chelsea Blues.

Hilarity when everyone clicked and made the connection between her name and the football team.

Chantelle seems t be the prime chav name

[Dosser-fae-the-shire]

My weans have some belters in their classes. Diesel, Lulisa, jayjay, Kenzie to name but a few. Thank f**k we had the sense to give Lada and Skoda normal names.

[tree house tam]

I know a Willie Dick .
