Ok, unique names can be pretty cool, but some parents just go too far. What are some names you have heard where you think the parents are too creative, or must have hated their kids?

I once met a woman that had twins and named them Mario and Luigi. The mom looked like the kind of woman that would do that. I can't imagine all the teasing for those kids in school!

In grade school, my first music teacher was named Mrs. Kane. She named her daughter Candy...

And my sister had a friend in college, first name Crystal, middle name Shanda, last name Leer. Crystal Shanda Leer? Why name your kid after an object?

Crystal chandelier :ffs: Wow.

I've actually always felt kind of funny about people naming their children after themselves, actually, like "Bob Boblets the 4th" etc. I understand why people do it, in honor of people and to carry on a family name etc, but personally I kind of don't agree with it because it sort of takes a smidgen of individuality away from the kid when they're given someone else's name. Also, though I'm sure it doesn't happen with everyone, in some cases I suppose it's possible that it might also put extra pressure on the kid to live up to the name if the person before them was really awesome, or something.

Incidentally, in the case of odd names though, I knew a girl once whose parents had almost named her "Truck." No kidding :ffs:
 
My girlfriend was on a pregnancy forum ages ago and saw someone who had named their kid Lego Flowerpants.
:mokken:

It was a boy.

hahaha thats actually pretty funny for about 10 seconds then you realise how stupid it is. Personally i dont know anyone with a ridiculous stupid name. celelbrities seem to love naming their children after flowers and other weird things. Someof them sound alrite, others are just a bit tacky.
 
I don't know anyone who gives their children ridiculous. However, the kind of people I tend to think who do that are celebrities.

Katie Price, why the hell call your girl Princess Tiara?

Gwyneth Paltrow, Apple? Seriously?

Trinity is probably the most retarded name I've ever seen given to a child. My sister did name one of her kids desiah though :hmph:

In elementary school, I was friends with a kid whose name was Mario. But his father's name was also mario... so in this scenario which came first, the chicken or the egg? :monster:

I used to always kick people's asses for messing with him.
 
Okay so being at this black uni I have heard so many ridiculous names it's not EVEN funny. Okay so here's the list:

Carleesha
Danika (this one really annoys me)
Falashaday (A girl from my kindergarten class had this name. She was an fat ugly cunt of a bully)


I can't think of any else atm cause stuff's happenin.
 
I think the thread is more targeted at absurd things to name your children, rather than names of different cultural descents. :wacky:
 
Those names aren't absurd? They clearly have nothing to do with culture. A girl named "Melkeva" had her name made from her father "Kevin" and her mother "Melissa"s names and they mixed the first 3 letters of their names together and added an a. That's not culture that's just stupid :/

And I forgot to mention that Luigi was a girl D: And she was 2, but she had her hair cut just like her brother...

I wonder if she is always player 2?
 
Gwyneth Paltrow, Apple? Seriously?

Apple is incredibly popular in Hong Kong..... along with Fanny, June, April, May (this one may be okay). I once knew this guy who was name Satan. Obviously pronounced differently with different meaning as it was english spelling of his Chinese name, but seriously, he's gonna get a beating overseas.
 
I don't Apple is too bad of a name. There's this one guy at our school who's full is London Herc Car. Quite a unique name, but "London Hercules Car". . . kinda strange .
 
There was a girl in my in junior high named "Stormy". I'm not sure if that was her real name because I didn't exactly know her that well, but I sure hope it wasn't. Who would give their child such a name like "Stormy"? There was also a girl I knew named "Champagne". I'm not even joking, that was her real name. D:

is it weird that i think the name apple isnt so bad hhahaha :wacky:
i get its a bit weird but i dunno, i kinda ike it :wacky:

although tbh your mum and dad would have to be moviestars for you to get away with having a name like apple.

........apple paltrow :lew:
 
I know she's a fictional character, but I've always hated the name Topanga from Boy Meets World. It was fine in the first season when she was weird, but when she because the cool hot girl it just made an annoying character more annoying.
 
Obamaneesha, nuff said.

I mean come on. That name just takes the cake. I know he caused quite the uproar as the first african american president, but naming a a girl after him and trying to justify it by adding neesha? :ffs:
 
True story, someone named their kid Prime Minister. No lie, his first name is Prime, Middle name is Minister.

My mom made a joke about it, saying if he ever became Prime Minister, he'd be called Prime Minister Prime Minister.... :lew:
 
When I was doing a english project at school (too many years ago now) we were looking at the use of emotive language in the press, particularly the tabloids. To highlight this we were looking at when Kevin Keegan left Newcastle United as manager (for the first time).

Amongst the varying sob stories of a broken hearted Geordie nation, there was one woman absolutely distraught by the news. She named her son Kevin after the great man.

And also her daughter Keegan.
 
It's not exactly an "outrageous" name and I apologize to anyone who is named this or has named their children this, but I've always hated the name John. It's just so bland and unimaginative. It's like "I can't think of anything creative or meaningful so I'm just gonna go for 'traditional' when really I don't want to take the time to think of a good one."

As ridiculous as it sounds, if I have a kid I'm gonna name him Azrael.
