Society & Culture Terrible baby names

[craigos]

My cat is named after Curtley Ambrose.

Need to buy another, call it Courtney Walsh and watch them terrorise the place.

Ciaran or Kieran? I prefer Ciaran.

Can't recall ever meeting a Ciaran but have known a few Kierans.

My first teddy bear I named Curtley after Curtley Ambrose. Bear in mind this was also a white teddy

I was checking college football scores.

Seems my old college is now coached by Lovie Smith.

Of course, his real name is actually Lovie Lee Smith.


(I am on the right side, about 2/3 of the way along. Bottom tier. Wearing orange.)

Whilst not a baby, my puppy's name is Luis Suarez

All baby names, especially female should have to pass the stripper name test: Mercedes, Saphira, etc etc

I take it your dog bites

I'm sure you all saw references to the fact that with the de-listing of John Butcher from Port Adelaide that there are now no players named John left in the AFL. This sad fact is indicative of the way names are going, a rock solid and once very common name like John is now barely used

I'd put a lot of that down to parents picking names slightly less common, and also the decreasing influence of Christianity in Australia (I presume the name's former popularity stems from one of the several Johns present in the Old and New Testaments).

Sister finds out the sex of the baby next Monday. Then I'll know whether I'm railing against Blaze or Mabel.

Not that high on the terrible scale but definitely weird - Notre Dame college football player Equanimeous St Brown

A quick google search reveals its a mis-spelling of equanimous, which means calm and composed

So then I says to Mabel, I says...

I agree with your first point but I don't think John is perceived to be an overly religious name. I suspect it is simply considered too common, which is ironic considering how rare it is now.

Jonathan is still relatively common in young adults these days though - and in current footy players, Patton, Ceglar etc.

Yes Jonathon is now more popular than John I think.
