A friend on my FB posted a recent find the other day.... Maiccyne.
:o
Yep tinks - la-la is pronounced
La dash la. You say the dash :/
Two come to mind for me.
Wraith ... born around the time as the first Lord of the Rings movie, so I always have this evil, ghoulish image rise up when I think of that name. At least it could have been spelled differently!
But the classic (for me) is Maffew. A take on Matthew. A close girlfriend taught him.
Makes me want to bang my head against a brick wall. So I can cope with Cage by comparrison.
a little boy my sister taught had an Australian Dad and a Thai Mum so they named him AussieThai :o
Maffew? Really? That's just setting him up to be thick right from the word go :/
I met a clients daughter named Mouse.
S!thhead pronounced SHH-i-th-aid.
Noooooooo!
My DH is in the RAAF and when he underwent his initial training he did it with navy and army people as well, he came across a guy in the navy whose last name was 'swallows' so he was Seaman Swallows and a guy in the army whose last name was 'Parts' so he was Private Parts!
My great uncle is William Williams and one of my school teachers was Alex Alexander
A good friend of mine has an embroidery business and she recently had one 'Jaykub'
Still laughing about Seaman Swallows.

Pmsl!
That poor child (Maffew!).
I checked my work emails yesterday and I had an email from someone from an external company and their name was Sh*tal
:(
This thread was bumped at the right time.
Q'Dell.
Hmm... really don't think I like it. ..
Not even sure how you'd pronounce that?!:
There was a David David and a Richard Richardson at my school.
And yes, David David. No, no remarriage or anything. That was just his name.
I worked with a P.rescilla P.rescilla once. Her dad liked their surname so much he gave it to her as a first name so she wouldn't lose it if she got married. (The dots I just added so it can't be found via search, given it's an unusual name.)
Jen I reckon that's actually kind of sweet :) I like my married name and didn't have a second thought about changing it, but I really liked my old name too and it'd be cool to still have that link.
Having such an unusual name is just unfair to the child :(
I have a new one. Verified by at least two people.
G.enetalia.
No I am not kidding. It is pronounced Jenny Tah Lia.
See I have heard that but in the story I heard mum had two girls 'Jenna' and 'Talia' - so the problem was when calling to both of them together. I heard that story/urban myth probably 5 years ago - so if above true maybe people are getting name inspiration from these urban myths.:
That's the worst name I've heard. I hope it is an urban myth. Surely Births, Deaths and Marriages wouldn't allow Genitalia. :shakehead:
I disagree. I love my unusual name, only hate the rudeness of others.:
A horrid name though, such as Genetalia or Busstop or Benson and Hedges... That's cruel.
:ROFL: This thread has really given me a good laugh!
I really cant get over Benson and Hedges... How is Hedges on its own even a name?!
double post
we went to school with a girl named Katinka as in kah-TING-kah
There's a girl I went to school with who's given her DD2 a different name. I don't think it's bad, but the girl's name is Katherine, at school we called her Kat and that's still what everyone calls her. Her DD2 is called K.atara, and I haven't wanted to be rude by asking but I wonder if she wanted to have her name in there and added the Tara on the end.
I came across a new student whose name is Sweetheart....whilst it's a lovely sentiment and nickname - I can't help thinking it's a hard name to put on a resume or name tag!
I know an asian family with Glory and Marvellous.
Maybe I am missing something, but what is so weird about that name? It's a Russian name (meaning pure) that is used as a pet version of Katerina; which is the origin of the names Catherine and Katrina in the English language. Or is there a reference I'm not getting? :confused::
:
I know a Sweetheart and her cousin Precious. both 1st generation Aussies :)
Imagine them at work?!
Boss says: 'Hey Sweetheart, have you got that report I asked for?'
In any other scenario that would be considered sexist or harassment! Lol
I feel sorry for people who immigrate here and their name means something horrible here. I went to school with a boy named Fahdi, pronounced Farty. Certainly not the intention of his parents when he was born overseas!
Or when people anglicise their names without knowing local slang - we had a senior executive come over from china for work and she changed her name to Fanny. Once she arrived and was told what her name meant she was mortified - she wished she had known before choosing that!
Me too! My mum was mortified when I yelled "HELLO FARTY!!" in a shop once :lol::
I went to school with a Katinka, an age ago. Wasn't that strange to us!
I'm doing a cake decorating course and one of the other women's names is Candida.
Yep.
That's bad!
There was a mum in our antenatal class with same name. She went by Candy.:
I once taught a little girl called Bong.
Its not odd per say just she was always teased by kids at school over her name. She was a lovely girl,I just remember how hard she had due to the teasing :(
