Naming children

[better dead than red]

Met a guy named Starbuck once. Yeah. Starbuck like Dirk Benedict's character in Battlestar Galatica. Not the brightest tool in the shed either. But I gave him some leeway because he parents that gave him THAT name.

Could be his parents are literate and took the name from Moby Dick. Did you consider that?

I work with 60 kids in a children's home and bloody hell there are some right messed up names.
I have had two kids called Knowledge (one was spelt Knawledge)
One sibling group, the boy was Yrral (the fathers name Larry spelt backwards and pronounced Yer-rall) and the sister Yarreal (pronounced Yah-re-al)
And a three sibling group - 2 girls Chrishara, Christajah (pronounced Chris-tay-sha) and a brother christopher

Can’t stand people who give their kids ridiculous names. Generally lower working class chavs.

My three

Chardonnay
Kyle
And Jacob Rees mogg junior

Have timeless names.

Nice names but your third one’s just going to be called Andy. :(

Met a lad named Russell once. All seemed normal until i found out his surname was Sprout. What were they thinking.

Yeah. I considered that. That's why I asked his friend the reason for the name. He said the guy's parents were carnies and probably wouldn't even know the novel. Maybe I should have spent more time around this quirky character and gotten to know him better. But it was hard because he was stoned and out of it most of the time.

This thread reminds me why I believe everyone should be sterilised at birth and have to earn a license to breed like they do to drive a car, own a gun or fish on a public river.

It's not just the daft names that they make up, it's the way they spell them. Needy parents so desperate for their kids to stand out.
