World fyi

FYI will be the next one.

[Voll Blau]

My missus's family genuinely know someone who gave their kid the name L-A. Anyone wanna take a guess at how they're pronouncing that?

 

It's 'La-dash-a'. Seriously.

 

[AKCJ]

I know someone whose job was to help young girls who had become pregnant. Talking like 15 year olds.

 

She was talking to one girl who had been given a book of baby names to look through and she eventually settled on "Gooey".

 

Turns out she was mispronouncing the name "Guy".

Some american names are ridiculous now. I'm thinking names with apostrophies, Da'Shawn, for example. What even is that??

what about saquon?

but some names are amazing, for example: lebron, kyrie and wardell etc

A three months pregnant woman falls into a deep coma. Six months later she wakes up and asks the doctor about the baby.

 

Doctor: You had twins, a boy and a girl and I'm delighted to say they're fine. Luckily, your brother named them both for you.

 

Woman: Oh no, not my brother! He's an idiot! What did he name the girl?

 

Doctor: Denise

 

Woman: Well that's not too bad, what did he call the boy?

 

Doctor: Denephew

 

A new name for African-Americans has been unlocked, people!   Call oprah! Where's doctor king??

Surprised nobody's called their lad Gary yet, just to be the first one since '93 or whenever the last one was born. Sort of like a Last Airbender situation but with a really shit name.

[Carl the Llama]

Frankly I'm shocked people are considering calling their children anything other than Nigel.

There used to be a rule in France where you had to pick from a list of traditional names until 1993.

 

Interesting piece here on how Kevin became a popular name there:

 There is a similar restriction in Iceland still - I think you can only choose from about fifty names.

I went to Uni with a Danielle Daniels and Ex LCFC star Bobby (Robert) Roberts lives up the road from my parents too, I can never understand what posses parents to do that (see Neville Neville for similar reasons).  

 

Anything Jacob Rees Mogg names and Npeter (the N is silent) also raise more questions than answers. 

 

A kid I went to school with was named Anthony Anthony.

 

We called him Two Tone (true strory).

You do know we're managed by Lord Paul, right?

[UpTheLeagueFox]

People who give their lads the same first name as the dad ie Chris Eubank, George Bush, Larry Mullen, George Foreman and others

 

Skipping a generation, naming them after a grandfather etc, is fine, but am I missing something with this trend?

 

Of course if I have a son (the clock is ticking obviously) they would not be called Geoff/Geoffrey or even have it as a middle name as it's pretty awful.

Yeah, everyone knows it’s Jeff. Just what were they thinking?

Good for her for doing what she can for these young girls but how did it help if she was talking like a 15 year old?

 

I suppose it must've been so that they could relate to each other on the same level.

[Steven]

Steven is a great name for a boy. 

[FLAN]

I have 4 children. Names are Daisy, Belle,Rae and Lola with Rae being a boy. I think they all have cool names.

I've also heard of someone called that, but I can't remember the connection. It was a friend of my missus.

 

The ones that I hate is deliberately misspelling a name. One example is Jaicob, but it is supposed to be pronounced Jacob. Just spell it Jacob FFS, he is going to spend his entire life correcting people and having to spell his name. It's like calling someone Daivid or Jounathan.

Where I used to work I had a friend who was called Shagger. I used to think it was a really cool name. She didn't like it though.

How can Ralph become Raif... as in Fiennes. Pretentious twat. It's Ralph, sounds rather common, not becoming of an actoooor,  that's why he won't use it correctly.

For Fuchs sake!!

We know of someone called Avon, actually after the cosmetics, they told us so. That's not a bad name, but the reason is questionable.

 

Also know a couple who called their sons Atticus, Octavius and then... Simon. Not kidding
