A girl round the corner from me has had her baby and called her adorable little girl Beyonce. Why?????? I havent been so stuck since a friend called hers Belladonna Tuesday! Any other names you have kinda pulled a face at before you said "ah, thats lovely"?

They sell cheap ones in B&Q.

I meant to say MFI.

I heard a young woman call her little boy Eden which to me sounded a bit faux-modernist-aint-we-posh-innit. I think I visibly cringed, although the mother did have a screeching whiney voice.

But it is all a matter of personal opinion. Copying such names as Beyonce or Kylie shows a desperate lack of imagination.

I heard a mother yelling for 'Zero' once in the supermarket poor little sod!
I deal with a lady who got married last year and is now Holly Wood which is quite cool. And I dealt with a lady once called Norah Bone seriously, she said 'unfortunately I loved him'.

teehee.... I know a carrie hisc0ck

[brissney]

One of my mums friends called her son Casper Shankly and her daughter Misty Willow. It might be cute at pre-school but aren't they going to get bullied at high school, kids can be very cruel.

I used to work with a guy named Wayne Carr !!! He changed his name to Robert .

[crossroads]

I had a letter from a company boss named " Peter iglu stake"
Not joking!!!!
Thought it wa a wind up till he phoned me up the next day.

[mycats]

I wanted to call my son Random lol but as I loved him I didnt

[Feena]

I knew a woman years ago who named her baby girl after her Dad....Fredette!

[Skreecheeboy]

I quite like the name Poppy and I didn't find it funny when I met somebody of that name last year, I met a bambi at the weekend too but I don't think that her real name was Bambi. I also heard that a girl I used to sit next to in physics changed her name from a really normal one to Bildred Weatherwax! When I have kids I'd quite like to name a son after my surname for a laugh!

[Skreecheeboy]

Also, an old gay couple that I was related to that have both since died were apparently good friends with Ruby Murray, of cockney rhyming slang fame for curry! She worked hard all her life as an actress but I hadn't realised that she was a real person until my dad was telling me they were mates as he'd known them a bit better than me when they were both alive. Mad eh - Being immortalised as slang for curry, what a great tribute!

We have a Pebbles at playgroup, and I heard a bloke say 'put that down Britney' to a child bearing a packet of sweets in a local shop - Class!

[unrulyjulie]

There is a little lad in my sons new class called Shankley!

[rubberneck]
