Bad Bad name

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.

There was a mum in our antenatal class with same name. She went by Candy.

I once taught a little girl called Bong.

[~*familyof3*~]

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

I think Glory is an AWESOME name. Precious is lovely - but possibly tainted by other cultural associations - but Sweetheart is stretching the theme, IMO.

Sorry I can't see/hear anything weird about Katinka at all? What am I missing?

I watched a paranormal activity documentary on Foxtel last week. The two girls in the documentary were named Heaven-Leigh and Summer-Raine. not "bad" names, per se, just different and a play on words.

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!

So if the first gets stitches, you'd have a stitch in Thyme!!

And don't get me started in the opportunities with Fox ... In a box ... With Knox ... Wearing socks ...

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...

[sepata]

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?
