Title: Children's names
Golfingmom - February 10, 2007 06:57 PM (GMT)
What are some of the most odd names you've heard? I don't mean what do people call their kiddo's but actual given names?
I recently heard:
Wolfgang.

Hubby has a friend by that name.
Can't think of any outrageous names right now....
"Squatpuke" actually sounds like someone with a bulemic disorder...or that's what I thought when I first saw it! :gotcha:

daytrail- he was a thugged out first grader. You'd think he'd have hippy, outdoorsy parents but, no he was a little homie. I always want to name our future daughter Ketura (after Ketura Belknap a pioneer woman- her nickname was Kit). My wife says no though.

That's a classic German name. That's like calling your son John or Matthew here is the US. It's really common in Germany.
Having just had a baby you can bet I came across some doozies on my Sep 2006 birth board.
Here are some from babies born in Sep 06
KaYori
Deja
Akeila
Oni Chinyere
Kjestine
Jory
Loki
Bodie Etalo

John.
I mean... seriously. Naming your kid John just tells me that the parents didn't bother to put any thought into their kid.

Think I remember hearing that one of the Olympic ice skaters named their kid "Blade."

OH OH OH ..My cousin just named her baby boy Blade and another cousin named hers Cade. Another cousin has nemed her baby girl Dally, and another cousin named her boy Eamon (pronounced ay-mon). I told her that he would be teased in school and the kids would call him Eamon the Flamin' Gaym'n..
Yeah, I have a lot of cousins..

Eamon is a traditional Irish name. Eamon isn't that uncommon in England because there are quite a lot of Irish there.

There aren't that many weird names in my family. My cousin has a daughter called Tamzin. My sister probably has the weirdest named boy - his name is Tai.

We have an old Teletubbies (yes, Teletubbies!) video where "Tamzin, the funny lady" makes an appearance. She is funny!
Oh - and Tai Anderson is the bassist for Third Day...

I bet you could do a great Jamaican accent, Clay.
I'll give you an Honourary Jamaican badge. Now we can play dominoes and drink coconut water together. :)

Coconut water's only good when it's splashed in a glass full o' rum. :drunk:
In Barbados, I ordered Rum Punch. I'd had it before. A glass of punch with a shot of rum. No, this was different. In Barbados, you order a rum punch, you get a glass of rum with a shot of punch - for color.
