Strangest Name You've Heard???

[BlessedWithBlue]

Just Curious, what is the strangest name you have heard in real life???

[littlepickle]

definitely Satchell or another one of those celebrity kids names...
In my own life, I think the wierdes name that I ever came accross as a child was "chance" I was only young at the time and had never heard that name before - now its a lot more popular though.
Oh and a friend of mine gave her daughter the middle name "button" but I think it sounds kind of cute!

[veve]

one of the kids at a school I used to work at was named- :eek: Ziggylion... I have never heard anything more unusual...

xxx

[JenNT]

[Rainbowbrite]

I know a lady who's name is IBTIHAJ (not sure of the spelling) From memory i think it means happy or joy in Arabic. Most of my friends growing up were Lebanese, Turkish, etc so there were many names that are considered strange to people.

Why do you have to prove you are well read by giving your kids stupid names!!!

There was a baby in my mothers group called Rhythm!!

[Bronte'sMum]

Mine are fairly tame compared to some of those already posted...

Before Bronte came along I worked with young children and heard some shockers.

Prince and princess ( brother and sister) Mum was often very psychotic and thought she was pregnant - planned to call her next child queenie ( and she thought she was having a boy). Luckily she wasn't pregnant and also recovered from the psychosis..

Troylene - wanted a boy but when she popped out as a girl they just adapted their boy's name!

Sweetheart
Luke skywalker
Anatomic Superstar

I think Bronte's quite run of the mill in comparison!

[SAVINA]

ive given my kids different names because i like to b different.

my eldest son is Zaiah pronounced zay-ah.
Tanesha although ive heard it a bit now shes 6
and my little fella Kynan 13 mths which is a welsh name

He says"How do you get them to do stuff for you?"
She says "Well I just call out Wayne clean your room and they all clean their rooms for example."
He says "What do you do if you want one in particular to come and give you a cuddle?"
She says "Well I just call them by their last name!"

[BiNdI86]

ok here is a shocker... in an email i received (an article from an English newspaper) a couple called their child (innocently) DREW PEACOCK...now say it faster...

...Droopy C**K. They thought it was innocent enough until the dad put it into a search engine to see if there were any famous namesakes out there with the same, only it came up Droopy C**k!!! (the kid was a couple of weeks old by now) and now at work the dad's workmates say "here comes droopy's dad" poor kid and of all he's a BOY!!
(imagine how that'll come over in the playground!!)
