Sometimes, parents just don't really think too hard about the names they give their children.

Here's the place to nominate the most unfortunate names you have seen.

I have to say....I know 2 Michael Hunts (see Porky's for anyone who doesn't know what I mean) however......one of them has a wife called Patricia (Pat). They insist on being called "Mike and Pat" cos the alternative....Pat N Mike.......is just too wrong....

Pattin my what???

Oh dear, I could name a lot for this one!

But before I start.. some names seem okay for some people, but not for others. I guess I gotta remember that we're all from different cultures and backgrounds, and different names mean different things to different people. These are the terrible ones based on my personal opinions:

Apple
Sunday
Dick
Adolf Hitler

Hmm. I suddenly can't think of anymore, lol. O_o

The American name 'Randy' always makes me chuckle.

'Hi, I'm Randy'
'And what do you want me to do about it??' lol

I went to school with a Daly Bus. No joke.

That reminds me.. when I was in school we had a teacher called "Ms Hordyk" (pronounced as whore-dyke..). Ah, kids were so immature about it ('cause she happened to be gay too). I remember getting to college, and a few of my friends from my old school went there too. We were having a conversation about her once, with a few other people listening in (who didn't go to our school, so they didn't know her). When we said her name, they were like, "you guys are so rude! Calling your teacher names like that".. We were like.. but that's what she was called! lol *sigh*

hehe I know an American called Randy
*waves to you know who you are* ;)

I think Fifi Trixabelle is up there with the all time cringes though.
Gawd Bob, couldn't you think of something that wouldn't embarrass the hell out of her every time someone said her name?

I didn't know this person, and I know I will not be able to spell the name correctly, but my old roommate had a relative with the name Omelia Kreckelburgersteinawychikowski! Need I say more?

And there is an old joke around the US, don't know if it was true or not. A young mother was looking for an original name, and a devious nurse suggested a name that would be pronounced shi-THEE-ad. Sounds pretty, but when you spell it... um.... sh*thead?

Lol this thread is fun.

My sister has a friend who works as a labor and delivery nurse and she told my sister that the worste name she has ever had someone name their child was a foreign lady who insisted on naming her daughter Meconium! She asked the lady if she knew what that was and the lady told her yes but she thought it sounded beautiful! Ok, so you named your daughter "dark green tar like infant poo?" cause it sounds beautiful?!....

I knew someone who named their little boy Tree. (Maybe he should get together with Apple...lol)

I knew a family with the last name of Glass and they named their daughter Crystal.

I had a teacher with the last name of Doverbich (pronounced dover ♥♥♥♥♥). You can just imagine what fun the kids had with that name!!!

Great thread

We had a Mr D'eath at school (and had about as much personality lol) and also a Mrs Button (whose unfortunate first name was Pearl XD.. that did crack me up).

A girl who I was friends with at juniors went by the surname Packman (I also work with an unrelated colleague who has that surname too).

A teacher at my daughter's old school was Mrs Dick All I can say is.. thank goodness she taught infants as I am sure she would have been in for a hard time at a High School (please don't twist that sentence around, you dirty beggars)

I am sure more will come to me - so will no doubt repost later lol

Awww, I was just twisting it around nicely and then you had to lay down the law... :P

That video Hints posted was interesting. I don't really agree with Turner that it's old-fashioned to change your surname when you get married. I couldn't wait to change mine! I felt I'd done my time with the less-than-exciting 'Jones'!
