What's the stupidest name you've heard someone give their child

[rikki]

Sisters called Laurel and Myrtle Branch.

Next girl would have to have been Olive.

I have heard of, but not met, Teresa Green. Friend assures me she was in their class at school.

 

[Keith Oates]

One of my friends who is called Moss married his wife who's name is Fay, she is now FayMoss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cranky]

I bet Sara Cox's son doesn't use his mother's surname.

....in which case he'll be Isaac Cyzer!

I KNOW a Teresa Green. She lives in Whalley, Lancashire.

I work for a company part owned by a Dutch company, one of the employees over there is called Dik Kok

 

[Origamist]

I know Ben Cyzer - he's a good Jewish boy and will be shocked!

 

[Chromatic]

Dutch names are great. I know a Fokko de Kok and a Fanny de Kok as well.

You're right, Dutch names are great, Dik Kok is a little unfortunate if he has anything to do with the English, but they do have some brilliant names.

On the Richard theme, there's a 'Dick Payne' at work. He gets tannoyed fairly regularly but the joke must have worn thin as no one seems to take much notice.

Someone mentioned 'Conan' - it's not an usual irish name, before Arnie made it his own. There was an irish guy with the name at Uni (he drank Baileys down the pub so I guess he was a barbarian).

There was a girl in the year below me in school called Joy Ryder

My sister in law called her (not remotely like each other) 'twins' Joss and Bailey. When the mil told me, I said "Oh, is the second one black?". It just struck me as being a black American street name. It didn't go down too well. He is now the whitest red-head in the playground. Got told off for that the other day. Apparently he's a Strawberry Blonde. Carrot, was my interpretation. And the rest of his secondary school.

My first g/f's name was Piper. Her (now deceased) younger sister was called Peta. Bit of luck they didn't have any more or her next of kin could have been Pickled or Pepper.

Heard from a colleague of a pair of twins who had just started primary 1. They were called Beverley A and Beverley B.

I hope that she was winding me up!

A few years ago I was listening to does the team think on radio 4, now I’m showing my age, a guy had written in with the question “Does the team think that parents give enough thought to the names they give their children?” it was from a Mr Norman Conquest.

Also through work I’ve been to Scandinavia a few times and there is somebody there that I deal with who when he first introduced his self, I thought I would wet myself, when he said “Hello I’m Mr Bent Person”.
