"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.

oh yeah! Like that dude off Home Front in the Garden (not that I watch it of course) He has long curly hair and he is very strange. Anyone know who I mean?

How about Diarmaid???
I have a nephew who was recently given that name!

I think it's pronnounced:
"Der-mud"
It's Irish - that i'm sure of.

Shane
Sharon
Leigh-Anne
Sally-Anne
Julie-Anne
Billy-bob

Nah, the bit that he turned into an Arsenal fan, well, I dunno if it's true, as the poor little sod if only a year old, so I doubt he's made up his mind, as of yet.

Which 50% was wrong? The fact he wasn't called SPURS?

How is Veronica a silly name?

Stupid names would be:

Wayne.

Because it conjures images of mono-brow, slack-jawed trogs with oily hands and a look of puzzled anger on their slab-like faces.

I don't think any boys names come close to being as bad as Julian. That's the worst name ever.

A***-Face

Craig, now there's a great name. Latin for ROCK

We nearly called Georgia Tiger Lily, but it failed the angry test.

The angry test is when you say the name in an angry voice, which you are sure to have to do at some point in your childs life.

You can''t very well say TigerLily in an angry voice.
