A girl at school (Hungarian background) was named Timea.... She had to endure constant 'tinea' jokes, and Hungary/hungry jokes. She also had a surname that didn't help her cause - poor thing.

We went to a party last night, kids included. One of the little boys at the party was name Fox. Now it's not a bad bad name, just a rather unusual one, I did immediately think of Fantastic Mr Fox.
My DH and both commented this morning that at least it's not a name we will ever forget.
I met a little Fox recently and was slightly gutted that he wasn't named after Mulder
I know a lovely lady called Tenna. The first few weeks I knew her, all I could think of was Tena Lady incontinence products :P She was named that because she was born at Tennant Creek. Her brother, Durwin, was born in Darwin. They are 2 of 6 kids named for where they were born.
A girl from school legally changed her name to Vixen, such was her love of Mulder.
DD's little BFF from kinder (and now school) is called Thyme. And her brother is Fox. They are great kids. Their parents are lovely. But they have unusual names!
Fox is SO popular now, I know quite a few... Reminds me of a few years ago when I knew of 7 kids named Chilli in our area in one year.... I also know a little girl named Wolf...
I love the idea of calling a boy Wolf, because I think it sounds epic with our surname, but it would never make the 'approved' list from DH
Your surname is Verine, right?
lol Tinks!! I don't feel so bad now :D
I read these ones in a parenting mag a family had 3 kids Mielleii, Lieushii and Frenzii which translates to Miley, Lou-she and Frenzy. The first two aren't bad names as such but it's the spelling that gets to me!
