Horrendous Names!!!
 
A flip side to my other thread on names :D

Any names you really dislike?

I know when choosing names for the kids it drove me mad! The one thing I always made sure of, was that the childs initials weren't going to be something dodgy ;) :D

Any friends given their child a name that made you have to stifle a giggle?

One of my friends called their baby Siobhan Simone .... nice names separately but together? ...... poor child :rolleyes:

Re: Horrendous Names!!!
 
I used to hate my name when i was younger which is Adrienne, other kids used to say it was a boys name and i hated it, but as iv got older, i like having a different name to most.

Re: Horrendous Names!!!
 
It's ok for boys, but with girls you might have to change your name if you marry.

We had a cleaner in London called Maud Lynne.:D

Tinkerbelle 24-04-2007 13:53

Re: Horrendous Names!!!
 
I really like Adrienne for a girl .... like in the the Rocky film :)

I think most people hate their own names.

I hate my sons name being shortened to Tommy or Tom, I christened him Thomas and that is what he shall be called. I don't half get on my high horse about it lol!

When I first moved to London I worked at Simpson's department store on Piccadilly. I had to serve a rather swishy little American man wearing a fur coat, who made Liberace look butch. I sold him his pink cashmere sweater, and took his credit card to charge.

How I kept my face straight, and didn't leave a damp patch on the carpet I don't know, as I got Gary Gay to sign for his purchase.:D

Re: Horrendous Names!!!
 
........... :rofl38: COOL! :D

Just had a quick Google these made me chuckle:

Dick Assman (properly pronounced "assmun"). Canadian service station owner whose name propelled him to international celebrity status in 1995.

Dick Trickle With a combined total of up to 1,200 wins in all racing forms to his credit, he has been called "America's Winningest Driver." ......... :D

I had access to names in Accy (work)
Here are some which caused giggles:-
Isabella Tinkler
3 pensioner chaps who always came to the counter together (mates) -named Whewell (weewell) Whittle and Philpott
They are probably dead by now but I remember a child named Justin Case who is probably still living local -you might know him.

Our boys initials are their names

Samuel Alex M.... S.A.M
Thomas Oliver M..... T.O.M

Emily Kate M... is E.M without the middle name which is what we call her sometimes, when we are not calling her witch or trouble or monster :D

If this thread was in over 18's I would tell you both to go forth, but's its not so I wont. ;)

I think it was mainly Rhonda who chose names, I just go with the flow about such things. Well almost, I do remember saying no to a couple, can't remember which though.

Many many years ago I was helping on the Labour ward at QPH......Dolly Whittaker (Lettie may remember her) was the delivering midwife and the lady gave birth to a baby girl. Dolly asked what the baby was to be called.....the woman replied 'Helen Joy'.....quick as a flash dolly retorted 'I daresay you'll get a bit of both'....the woman looked a bit perplexed....then it dawned on her and she changed it......but darn it I can't remember what to!

Re: Horrendous Names!!!
 
As a student nurse, I once played a joke on one of my colleagues whilst we were working in A&E. When patients came in, they went to the reception where the lady there would fill out a card containing the patients personal details and the nature of their complaint. As a student it was one of my jobs to go to reception every few minutes and collect the cards so that we knew who was in the waiting room and who to call through to be treated.

I slipped an extra card in there with the name Don Kiddick written on it, the poor man couldn't pee...:D

My mate went into a jam packed waiting room several minutes later shouting 'DON KIDDICK'. All the patients were looking round and then at each other. My dozy mate, not yet realising, pumped up the volume and shouted 'DON KIDDICK'... By this time, several of the patients had started laughing and several others were trying not to.

At the 3rd shout of 'DON KIDDICK' it suddenly dawned on her what she had been shouting. She went bright red, scuttled off around the corner to find me and a couple of colleagues falling about laughing in the corridor. The waiting room was in uproar, as was fracture clinic waiting room next door and we were in for a right bollocking from the sister in A&E.

It was worth it though, all the patients we saw that morning were laughing when they came through for treatment and said that we'd made their day.:D

I remember when we student nurses went for an evening out...usually to Grab a Granny Night at the Mecca...if we were asked our names by a young man we usedto make things up....My friend used to tell the guys she was called Melina Stools (melaena stools - a medical term for blood in your poo)...and I used to call myself Emma Royd (piles) which was quite apt because they used to tell me I was a pain in the bum. Ok....... I know they aren't very original, but it used to make us laugh.

We had such a hard time choosing names for my grandchildren as their surname is Hunt. Anything beginning with C was out for obvious reasons. Heide and Adam got binned. It was all very difficult.

I did have a doctor once called Richard Parrott. A lovely bloke but I don't suppose it helped being nicknamed Dicky Bird!
