popiax Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 "V8" and "Anal" ...flol I remember reading the article about the 4real baby a few years ago. They just saw the ultrasound and knew it was "for real".http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1559705/This-babys-name-is-not-4Real-couple-told.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 There's very vague law in Italy regarding the same issue, and a couple was banned from naming their child "Venerdi" (Friday) by the courts there, which is pretty crazy and hypocritical considering Italian celebrities have named their children more bizarre things.

triachus Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've known twins who were named Fauna and Flora. If you don't think that's awful, you're a misanthropic hippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Flora is a totally acceptable name, Fauna not so much. But I like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triachus Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I also know a woman whose dad who, when he registered her name at the city hall, was drunk. Her name remained the same, but she officially ended up with a dozen middle names. I'm not kidding. The names included a bunch of Belgian kings and a few popes. I wish I remembered them all, but she's not so keen on reciting them again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixxx Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Roman Numerals III is a pretty good name. Totally agree. I used to work with a girl called Princess, her family are Iranian, I know there is a name in Iranian which translate to Princess so maybe they cut to the chase?! She was so awesome.

spratters Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 At least they haven't banned "Apple". Everyone should name their child Apple, a whole bunch of Apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the anonymous forumite Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 mafia no fear indeed, no fear. I'm totally in favor of banned names, it's just about doing the poor child a favour. Not like in the US or South America. Banning bad taste, what is there not to like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah is Hebrew for princess. I'm all for banned names in the sense of protecting children, so long as it's a very sensible name-by-name basis. After all, the fact that English speakers still use biblical names often is a bit crazy, I mean mine "Joshua" is a figure in the book who lead the Israelites after Moses, and among other things, helped them all get magically circumcised as a group on some hill with help from the Ark.

rixxx Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 the main thing is with names is that if its anything slightly out of the norm people get it wrong- I cant tell you how many times ive been called: Laura/Lauren/Tara/Sarah People cant deal with Rix either- that usually becomes: Ricks, Rox, Rhys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
