Society & Culture Terrible baby names

Nah this was a Romy as in Romy and Michelle, pronounced as Rommy.

Woodie Guthrie called his Arlo too, immediately bestowing a certain hipster cred to the name.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Tell that to everyone that thinks calling me "Austin Powers" is funny whenever they meet me that.

oh behave

The name Remy reminds me of this from Seinfeld:



"Remy Rifkin?! Should I get a beret?"

Went to school with a Romy but she was 5 years below me.

I went to school with a guy named Remy.

I know a Romy; pronounced "roe-me"

I like it but

Had to call someone named Eden today...All well and good, nice name for a girl...

As a Librarian, I think that Scout is a great name
I work with a lady who has kids called Atticus and Oliver

I love the name Atticus

Oh wait, this is worst names. Hmmm Storm? That's pretty bad.

Some decent names in there amongst the dross. The backline and half back line are pretty good. But Jagger Mooney? If you love Mick Jagger (who doesn't), just name the kid Mick!

I don't think it's a homage to the Stones.

Half the people naming their kids Jagger would have no idea, it's a fad hipster/bogan wannabe name like Cruize. *Shudders*.

Lazarus Echo Reznor & Balthazar Reznor.

Too many z's Trent

Harking back a few years, the delightfully named Steele Sidebottom won the international Name of the Year vote.

Runner up always amuses my little mind: Charity Beaver.

I came across an author called Dick Francis last year.

I came across an author called Dick Francis last year.

Apart from his first couple of books, I have a near complete fun of his first editions, I inherited them when my Nana died. He was a decent jockey before he was a writer, and she loved a punt.

Your Nana rules

Thane. Were they trying to say "Shane" and they had a lisp or something?

I think those names are perfect...for the sons of arguably the best industrial musician of all time.

If Joe and Sally Smith from down the street tried Lazarus and Balthazar I'd roll my eyes.

My ex's family liked to boganise common names. Eg Madeleine was Madalyn. It wasn't a good enough kids' name for them without some superfluous 'y's or 'z's.

He is the best but I'm not a fan of their names.

There's a newborn Tallon Rydah on my news feed this morning.

If spelt correctly, Talon Ryder sounds like something out of Mad Max

Tallon?

All I think of is a fingernail.

More like Talon the rat poison.

Just saw one on the wife's Facebook, Georg-Jah. Supposed to be pronounced Georgia but if I ever met her I'd sure as hell pronounce it Jorg-jar.
