Apparently Iceland, Denmark and Germany have "rigid limitations about how a baby can be named": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21280101 Time to bring in such laws in the UK and spare any more children from the horror of being named Taylor, Paris, Riley, etc.
One of my Glaswegian mates says he knows a girl of the name Pocahontas McGregor - whether or not that's true I dunno.
ridiculous. My (half) brother's cousin called her kid Riley Tiger. The bird's sister named her boy Tomas spelt like that, no t. The bird's mate called hers Edward, Mimi and Tatiana. An old school chum named his boy Orion. Give 'em the death penalty, that would make them think twice.
Would that mean removing the letter C from our alphabet ( half way down the article if you bother to read it ) - now that would greatly restrict the vocabulary of most General Hat members. - did you unts see what I did there ?
Seriously this was in the papers a while back. Mr & Mrs Peacock have decided to call their baby boy Drew. *****s.
Am actually quite chuffed with maself that I remembered that. Mibby my early onset Alzheimers is in remission.
On holiday and this chav bird kept calling her kid (phonetically) Oh-Eye-Sin presumably because she liked the idea of Oisin but didn't have a clue it was pronounced Oh-Sheen (or Ah-Sheen depending on your preference). ****ing dummy. That poor kid is going to go school and anyone who knows how to say his name is going to have to explain that he isn't called Oh-Eye-Sin and that his mother is a dullard.
My ex missus went behind ma ****in back, and gave our lad a the middle names of William Caunter. Bitch , jus cos her late granda had the name she thought she could ruin my boy's whole life. ****in Wimmin.
New Zealand have a rather ****ed up version of this. Rejected names include Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit, which is probably fair enough. They accepted Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Midnight Chardonnay , though. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7522952.stm
