For twins - 'Benson and Hedges'!!! hahahaha!!!
BUT, my name is listed as a bogan name - just off to change my username on BB to bogan_leesa!
The comments werer gold, and I checked to see if my DD's names were on the list :rofl::
Benson and Hedges was a classic, add it to my list above :lol:
My goodness thats just terrible!!! :lol::
They had Harrison listed as a Bogan name...... I thought that was a traditional English name?!!!!
PS I am so happy that my girls names aren't on the list and mine is only on there with a bogan middle name!!! :rofl:
DS, I guess, has an unique name. I don't understand how people (including my dad) can spell it wrong. It's Jensen not Jenson. I swear when you say it you can hear both "e"'sounds. At the doctors, our surname gets called first. I do understand though, as our surname is a grandma kind of name. I'm sure he's not going to be the only one, but so far have not met another one! It's not unknown though - there's Jensen Ackles (actor - Supernatural), Jenson Button (Brittish F1 race driver), Jensen is make of Brittish car... None of these were the reason we picked it...
Baby number two will have a "traditional" name... If it's a boy, I haven't met another with that name (I'm not giving it away!) yet, but it seems to be on the rise as a new favourite, it's kind of a grandad name. If it's a girl, my friend just had her own little girl and named it the same! So, it could become popular too...
It's too hard to choose!
It was... until the bogans got hold of it! ;) It's like all those sorts of names - Spencer, Cooper, Bailey, Archer, Dakota, Madison, Indiana, Montana etc etc etc - 'traditional' names that just got *abused* by bogans a few years after the names first became popular with middle- and upper-class families... now these sorts of names are considered to be 'bogan'. Give it a few years, all the Amelias and Anguses will be the bogan names because they're currently popular with the 'toffs' - it's only a matter of time before they drift down into the bogan suburbs and get a bad rep! ;):
pmsl Isn't Angus already a bogan name? Or is that only because of Angus Young? ;p
Harrison was a traditional surname, not a first name.
Phew, just checked and none of the kids names or mine or DH is on the list.
No bogans here :p
Righto - I'm going to do a poll on this - I don't think I can convince myself....
Gorgeous name 'now' - bogan name in the future!!! Lol!!!
I must be living in a cave... I don't think lots of those names on that website are bogan names :confused: When I think bogan I think flanno shirts, moccasin, mullets, thongs and stubby shorts while the shielas sit around the camp fire or bbq in their mini skirts and singlet tops with no bra on, frizzy hair which is oily and thick eyeliner with some cheap perfume. Honestly I can't see any of those blokes being called Spenser?
Cherished1 - i think the term bogan has expanded to include the kath & kim types. Cashed up bogans i think is the term. It's not very nice of us to denigrate people for their choice of baby names. There is, however, research into the effect of names on kids' futures. I'm sure Spencer wouldnt have as much trouble as Benson and Hedges for example.
Personally, i'm a spelling nazi so weird spelling sends me up the wall. Epponnee ffs! It's both made up and horrible spelling.
But each to their own.
:rofl: Yes, the made up spelling gets under my skin!:
Me too ack!:
I'm a fan of ' Unique names, my own name is not common and it never bothered me at all to spell it out, if anything it kind of made my feel more special in having an unusual name ... So in having said that I didn't hesitate to name my DD a unique name ... Only thing is Im not a big fan of is spelling a name totally different, in a wacky way IYKWIM !!
i go for uncommon traditional! My kids are Magnus and Evangeline, both the only ones i've come across, tho there are lots of Evie's. I was one of 5 girls in my year with my name (Catherine), and have ended up with a MIL with the same name! So i go by Cate :) And in our circle of friends there are 2 Michaels and 3 Matthews, dooming them forever to be "my Matt, her Matt" etc!
not keen on wierd spellings or ones that are obviously American and have way too many syllabyls (bad spelling there!)
I like unique, obviously. But some names are considered unique here in aus, but common in other parts of the world. Like Aricyn. Unique here, probably common as anything in Scandinavia since that's where it's from. But I'm sure I'll be classed as a bogan because I like my kids to have different names, and if that's what classes you as being a bogan - meh - so be it.
I like both. My girls names are common names in Poland but not so much here. We choose them because they are derivatives of more common names and they are easy to spell and say.
Good luck
My daughter's name is jemima and her best friend same age and small country town is Jemimah! You can't win.
Our surname has to be spelt even though it is not unique there are just half a dozen ways to spell it.
Unique and traditional are changing constantly all you can do is spell it the most logic or commonist way possible.
There is a difference between unique and "weird"
My hubby has many rules to say no to names and one of them is "its not even a name rule" and oh the "how do you spell it rule"
The spelling of names drives me crazy!!!! Just spell it properly! Dont randomly add a H hoping it will male you cooler! *** its annoying! Lol!!
I chose a traditional name for DD but it is quite popular... Charlotte. I wanted something pretty and feminine and not weird so it was perfect!
Sent from my iPhone so sorry for the spelling and punctuation!!
I like traditional names I guess, but one persons traditional could be anothers unique.
Maxwell is a family name for me, but there are loads of max's around now. I loved the name Darcy, but chose Darcie as the spelling as it looks more feminine to me.
I'll have to see if they made the began list later!!
