Baby names?

[bellasianna]

Would you seriously name your child Justin if your surname was CAse? Or Hazel if your surname was Nutt?

There is a hilarious list of unfortunate names on this article over on the BBC website!

Seriously... parents have a lot to answer for! lol

I know a guy called Justin Casey. Worse, I know a girl called Joanna Ryder. O_o

I have a friend called Jo King =) I work with her mum actually - which is completely irrelevant.

I like it!
In her poor mum's defence, she obviously christened her baby daughter Joanne or Josephine, I assume?

I once had a long converation with a bf about children's names and we even analysed what the kid's initials would be! Lol maybe we were a little too nerdy lol

We had great fun when we were expecting James playing around with initials :)

You do wonder what some parents were thinking though. My mother once taught a little girl who was called Boedacia Fairy

OMG! lmao
Never mind what were they thinking - what were they smoking???

That was funny! It amused me that they mentioned Terry Ball as I knew a kid called that. 'Ball' really is an awful surname for that. Terry's cousin was carefully called Annette by her parents, then someone pointed out the error of that. Though thinking about Terry Ball and Annette Ball does still make me giggle!

Oh dear... *giggles* Unfortunate.

Ooh I did also once work with a kid called, no word of a lie, Wayne Kerr. His parents really didn't think that one through!
