"Worst name to call your kid"

I'll kick off with some of my choicest selections:

Rasputin
Bartholemew
Tarquin
Ezekiel
Clive
Dudley
Biff
Horatio
Harold

I will think of many more and, in the meantime, let me apologise to anyone called by any of the names listed above.
But if your name is Tarquin, you only have your parents to blame.

LoL! There's no excusing taste. Tell me, what team does he support?

did you hear about hat bloke in manchestet who called his daughter sarah beckham keane giggs neville neville ..... surname after all the players who took part in man utds league and championsleague victories

This is absolutely true, a couple in Walthamstow whose surname is Day called their little boy Alfee Zippadeedoodah.

I pity the poor lad when his schoolmates find out.....

How about Keith? It's not that it's a bad name per se for an adult, it's just that I cannot imagine parents sitting around thinking Keith is a good name for a newborn baby. That's all. Plus, have you ever met a Keith under the age of 30? I'm not saying that's old, I'm just suggesting that there's been an unwritten rule for the last thirty years not to call your kid Keith. That's all.

I would say if your son was called Satan he would pretty much be marked for life.

I once knew a Richard long.

most scary we know some twins

one called andrew ness and one called peter ness

this is the most unfortunate one i have seen and i can't believe its hapened to both twins that they got dodgy names

a.ness/p.ness

I could now make a joke about prostitution, but I believe I shan't for the sole reason that leprachaun's rock.

I know someone called Ben Dover. Poor lad...

German names are the stupidest, there actually ARE two kids in Germany, one called Spark Plug and the other called Hub Cap. The amount of stupid names given to German children did infact result in the passing of a law against outlandish and daft names.

I can, you should make friends with some "Richards" they soon live out their shortened names.

I know too many Richard's
