 Topic: Strange Baby Names
Posted: 11 April 2007 at 10:03pm |

Kelly (Caitlynsmygirl) and I were at my sisters on Monday afternoon and were discussing strange baby names.
My sister has a Nanny for her baby. One of the Nanny's grandchildren is called Pummice because the Mum was walking along the foreshore of Lake Taupo.
And when Kelly was at Bethany before she had Caitlyn there was a lady who called her child Prints Eric
Lol

Prints?!?!?! I heard that you're not allowed to use certain titles for first names, perhaps "Prints" should have been a "Prince"?  Still strange!
My godson is Stirling Hawkeye (as a first name) I'd like to mention here that I had nothing to do with that!

LOL, there is a law to say certain names are not allowed to be used.
I have a friend who worked with CIPS (SP?) and the stories we heard about names some people came up with and were rejected......

CYFS...LOL
anyways - my office cracked up this past year at Misyrah and destinee and I once came across a girl who called her child Savannah Florence Nightingale ## - when asked if she liked nursing she had no idea what i was talking about - she had just heard name and "just like it"..OMG!!!
there are some weird and wonderful ones out there and a lot of misspellings by the parents too...the most famous misspelling would have to be OPRAH who was meant to be ORPAH but her daddy filling in the form spelt it wrong...and look where she is now!!!

I went to school with some unusually named girls.
There was one called 'Precious Princess'
One called 'Baby' and one called 'Billy-Jean Stanley'
My favourite though, is a friend of a friend whose girlfriend named her baby 'True-Destiny' or 'Trudi' for short!

You would think that if certain names weren't allowed, then the twins Acid and Hash wouldn't have been so named, nor the child, Kurupt.

I work at the Land Registry and one of the guys here used to keep a book of all the strange names we found. It's amazing what people come up with like Austin Martin (as in the car) there are allot of Ronald McDonalds out there and things like William Williams and Mary Magdalin (sp). I can't think of any of the really funny ones right now but we have many a good laugh. It has made me choose pretty normal names for my girls.

I wouldnt have thought that you could use V8 legally. I did know a man once who had 3 sons all from different relationships and they were all called John (at least he never forgot any of their names!)

I knew a guy who's name was Roger... not remarkable in itself, but his grandfather, father, uncle, 2 brothers and several male cousins were all named Roger as well. They all were known by their (different) middle names except for the grandfather - he was the "resident" Roger as the oldest one living.
