Swarley Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Saw a belter of one last night. Saw my pal with his pal from work's newborn wee girl on my twitter feed last night - the wee girl's been called "Baeli". I think it's supposed to be pronounced as "Bailey" but bloody hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know, right? It's a right mindfuck how some people manage to be proper ultramorons (yes, my head has indeed gone) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_K_97 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You should just reply to the tweet with that image. I should, but that will just make things worse. I'm happy enough to try and forget and hope that by this time tomorrow/the day after that/next week I'll have forgotten this ever happened. I think we're all worse off for having heard about this poor wean's name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisal Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 A good friend of mine almost named his child Matthew (Brown) until his brother pointed out he was naming him after a tin of paint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11thHour Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) It rips my knitting when people take a regular name and spell it differently so as to make it much less "standard". Why?! its not as if you go up to someone and say "my names Garry with two R's" It sounds the same as the name so it should just be spelled the exact same. Worst names I've heard of is Pocahontas (I shit you not) for a girl and Wrangler for a boy (again I shit you not). Edit: Forgot to mention I know of a guy called William Dick. His nickname is Wullie....Wullie Dick. Edited November 12, 2014 by 11thHour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_K_97 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The proliferation of bae has obviously gone too far. That was my first thought Miguel. Ultramorons. We as a species have well and truly humped it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Mrs Bold received a card from a new baby - her friend's new grand-daughter - thanking her for the gift she sent. And there's a nice wee picture of baby Kaidiah. Honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McB Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 When Lady McB(eth) was in the maternity the story from the nurses was of a set of parents who were talked out of calling the wean "placenta". Probs apocraphyl. No doubt they called her "afterbirth" not wanting to be too posh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Seen on facebook that someone had called their Bairn "diamond" Hopefully their surname is White. In the Kingsgate Centre, Dunfermline, my wife heard a young mum shout ''Dolce, leave Gabbana alane!'' Made up story. Don't tell lies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 A while ago I was doing some HR stuff, and someone showed me an application from some English lassie who obviously couldn’t decide whether she wanted to be an elf or a vampire – she’d changed her name by deed poll (from something prosaic like Sharon Smith) to something along the lines of Lilith Arwen Galadriel Lestat. Never met her, but I assume she was a bit of a goth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
