jonthefox Posted 17 November 2016 Posted 17 November 2016 Moonbeam?. If you're on about frank Zappa's kid it was moon unit. I met a couple in turkey last year and their daughter was called diesel.
Jon the Hat Posted 17 November 2016 Posted 17 November 2016 Who cares? The only people who suffer are the kids with stupid names, who no one will interview as they don't know if a guy or girl is going to turn up.

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 17 November 2016 Posted 17 November 2016 Anything after a flower or fruit or characters from ancient mythology. There was a black kid at my school called Hercules Hercules who took the brunt of the mickey taking saving James James and George George in the process
crazyleicester Posted 17 November 2016 Posted 17 November 2016 The missus is part South American and Indian and has loads of family in the States and its a bit of a mixed family with about 10 nationalities and a few races thrown in for good measure. A couple of years ago we went to some big summer BBQ where about 200 family members from around the world arrived and it was a great day that resembled a United Nations summit in the park!! My fav part of the day was trying to stop the giggles when I was introduced to some of the African-American part of the family as the names were hilarious. Off the top of my head I remember Lagina, Marquise, Sultan but my fav was Lotteri. Thankfully for me it was a bright summers day, the BBQ was being cooked and everyone was laughing and smiling so when I was being introduced my smiles were semi-laughs so I got away with it. Lotteri was this cute little girl and her mum told me she was given the name to have all the luck in the world. I think I must be a bit mental as when the the introductions were made I instantly got visual images. When Marquise was mentioned i pictured Chris Eubank with a monocle whilst when Lagina got a mention..... I think I need help!

Although she is perfect for the job, how do you go about scrubbing a few grand off the job offer you prepared earlier, without being noticed. Awkward.

Not to mention the Air con being on " tropical " and if it goes below 30c there are issues you have to deal with.

I think I need help!A neighbour of mine in Baltimore called one of their sons Baron.I asked several times to confirm. The other son was AJ. Which is a bit plain imo!!But some of the other Black names were hilarious. Apparently they invented a lot of the names to try to sound more African. No one here is called Shanehneh or Larquisha.

Strokes Posted 18 November 2016 Posted 18 November 2016 When people called their kids stupid double barrel Christian names like Sarah Jane and then get the hump when you shorten it to cùnt.

She had a let's say an unusual maiden name,not too bad but my best man in his speech said" Let's look at why she married him,was it his wit,charm and good looks,or most probably for a less amusing surname" Well half the room laughed anyway,but not the dark side!
