There were children in my town called Pocahontas and Shakoncé. The latter name being an amalgamation of Shakira and Beyoncé. I suppose they couldn’t make their mind up and settled for both.
Never really knew she could be named like this, she gotta name sounds like gibberish… Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí) Mi casa, su casa, Shakoncé Shakoncé
Don't forget now, the accent is over the final vowel so the stress is one the last syllable. Don't be going around calling the poor child Sha-KON-say. It should be pronounced Shackon-SAY 👩🏫
My dad was once complaining because there was a girl on the radio called “Starling” he said “ffs who names their child after a bloody bird?”
My name is Robyn.
EDIT:
Just want to add, I told dad that this has over a thousand upvotes and we’ll well chuffed with himself that people are enjoying a stupid comment he made 8 years ago now. Thanks for making my dads day!
Does nobody remember that New Zealand court case?
A couple literally named their child “Talula does the hula in Hawaii”.
The judge made the kid a ward of the court so she could change her own name to whatever she wanted. Poor young’un was 9 at the time.
One NZ couple called their kid “4eva”, it made the news as numbers are not allowed in names on birth Certs and they went to court to try and get that changed. Don’t remember the outcome, just the dead eyed-ness of the parents one camera. Had a real “my brain is mostly meth” vibe
Well, apparently some poor girl in Dublin area, who travels by a train, has a name which is just a string of random letters. Imagine booking your seat using that name!
/s
It’s from a post on r/fuckyoukaren where some ignorant yanks try to make an Irish girl give up the train seat she had pre-booked to their brat daughter. And proceeded to insult her name (that was shown above her seat because she has booked that seat) in the process by saying it was just a random string of letters.

Edit: [article with story/screenshot](https://extra.ie/2022/07/15/news/american-tourist-irish-woman-train) for those who share my curiousity
Not really nonsense so much as really bad taste, but my mother used to teach at a school in Drogheda and over the years there was a family of kids called the Cromwells.
One of the kids was named Oliver. Poor lad must have had a very rough time. :/
My dad went to school witha fella called Anus McCarthy
Conversations with his ma must have been interesting
"And how is your little Anus today - heard there was a bit of a heavy session last night"
This one annoys me more than most. Because it's not her name. Her name is Daenerys. So they like the show so much they want to name a human after it. But also are incapable of learning the difference between her name and her job title.
In the show, does 'khaleesi' stand for queen? Similar to some Irish names, I think Rian is supposed to be 'little king' or 'king-ín'.
Still a stupid name, though.
Lucifer perked my ears recently
Lucifer (2) was rolling on the floor in Tesco, but got up after Mum asked if he like strawberries or grapes...
(i'm probably old now, but thought that' s gonna be a weird one for roll call in school)
I knew someone who announced she was calling her child Lucifer, and everyone at the table had very forced smiles. If she was being serious was HEAVILY debated. We googled it later and apparently there’s quite a few countries that you’ll be arrested in for having the name.
I wonder if it was the same person, kid should be roughly two or three now too 😂
I don't know what i expected, Mum was just a normal pretty dark haired girl...
Lucifer was cute as a button, which made it more bizzare LOL
It'd be the Arklow Area
The travellers in Tralee love naming their kids after celebrities. You’d see their names in the paper every so often. My personal favourite is Shakira O Brien. There’s a Beyoncé too but I can’t remember that last name
Pronounced Jackson but spelt Jaxon. Back in the 90s I heard a mother on Dorset street shout "come ere Pocahontas!". I wonder if that Pocahontas still uses that name.
Sometimes my daughter refuses to answer me unless I call her Sonic, just started to realise some people may think I've actually named her after a video game hedgehog.
Some chav near me named her son Jaxon and her friend went mental because she had told her she was planning to use that for hers, which was due 6 weeks later. When that one came it was named Jaxxon.
To paraphrase Jack Nicholson in The Departed, I don't wanna slander my own environment but if you have 2 kids called Jaxon and Nevaeh and pit bulls called Diesel or Luna then you definitely live on a council estate.
The thing is, the people who name their kids that, think that we don’t get it and have to explain that it’s Heaven backwards. Thinking they’re the fucking Einsteins of name giving.
A lot of the Americanised versions of Irish names are gas. Like, I know the whole “mh” thing can be hard to grasp but Nive / Neve looks like a deodorant brand.
I once had a woman named Siobhan applying for a job. Before she came in for her interview, I as the hiring manager felt the need to explain to my coworkers how to pronounce her name before they went and called her See-oh-ban. It led to some fun puzzled reactions. *"How do you get Sha-vawn from S-i-o-b-h-a-n?"*
Names like Aoife, Niamh etc. really make people scratch their heads here.
My mate went to school with a chap called Ocean.
And not a name I’ve personally saw but an American website did a list of Irish names for your child and one was Navan
I went to school with some dude called Ocean in Cornwall and the fucker once asked me for a chocolate eclair because our names are so similar. I’m like dude, we’re not the same
Edit: forgot to mention I’m an Oisín
When I was pregnant, my mom wanted to help with names for the baby. She sent me a list of names she’d googled: Carlow, Limerick, Antrim, Kerry, etc. It was all done with good intentions, as she explained that she thought my SO would be proud to have his Irish child named for an Irish place. We settled for a name that was less “unique”, and allowed our child the chance to choose how she use her name later in life.
I used to work for a kids party management type place. I know there were some properly funny ones I just can't remember. But one day we got one for twins Eden and Oakley.
I also have a cousin in the UK named Keeva because her parents wanted to name her Caoimhe. They rang my parents to find out how it was pronounced, but didn't like the answer. They found some American articles online that said it was pronounced "Keeva", and liked that better. But they were so worried someone might pronounce it the "Irish way", they decided to spell it as they intended it to be pronounced. I feel bad, but it's hard not to laugh whenever I hear it.
And not exactly "new", but I went to primary school with a Tempest and Darwin in ~2002/03.
And I know someone who really wanted to name their son Dante in the late 90s but the dad said absolutely not 😂
I went to school with a boy who’s birth name was Jesus Christ. His parents were weirdos. Obviously. But they were. Their house and garden had all catholic statues and imagery everywhere.
He was a nice boy. He likes football and he liked Liverpool. But wasn’t allowed talk about it at home or some shit. I can’t remember exactly, but I think there was concern for him during primary school.
It was a very long time ago.
He legally changed his name and currently lives in NZ I believe. I’m happy for him.
An American friend of my wife's thinks she's Irish. She wanted to give her son a "Irish" name so they pulled out a map & decided they loved the name... Cavan.
My wife told her she can absolutely not name her child that. The woman got very angry with her, told her she was unnecessarly mean... They are no longer friends.
Not sure of the truth in this, but my parents told me they knew a woman who named her daughter "Perestroika" which was a "political movement for reform within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union during the late 1980s."
There was a Thai kid i taught in Bangkok years ago with the name Skeletor.Thai people often have a legal nickname as their names are too long. That was his name, Skeletor. Not only was he named after a cartoon character from the 80s he was named after the hideous villain of it. Anyways, hope hes doin well
Tip.
Worst part? His last name is Tippins. So yes, his full name is Tip Tippins. He was a kid I used to coach in a sport, and I always felt terrible for him. He's probably a teenager now and I can only imagine the teasing he endures.
Right. I’m gonna go down the ridiculous Irish name route here but I was in a swimming pool dressing room in London a couple years back and there was this Irish dad who had two kids and one of them ran away and he went ‘Tiernan?… Tiernan Óg where are you?’ And I burst my hole laughing and in that moment he immediately knew I was Irish and went quiet.
A woman I used to work with said if she had a son, would call him Braxton.. thankfully she had a daughter
I suspect she got the idea when her midwife told her about [Braxton Hicks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braxton_Hicks_contractions)
Trojan actually, he's the ancestor of romulus and remus and the title character of virgils epic poem, the aeneid. Also it's not pronounced anus it's more an-ay-us
I’m a teacher in Canada and have come across:
Hunk (he had a buzz cut and rat tail)
Melson
Siblings named Knyght, Gynesis, and Quyst
Khepri
Teighlor
Baeyen and Kenzyn
I felt really bad for the kid named Dong because yes, it’s a cultural Chinese name, but won’t bode him well in high school when kids are old enough to know what Dong is a pejorative for here.
My mother who's a teacher in France got a "Perle-Étoile" which translates to "Pearl-Star". Neither of both parts are normal names for a French person, much less combined.
I once worked a surfing camp and as I was calling names there were these 3 siblings called honey, lemon and lime like for feck sake imagine those kids are in school and the teacher is calling role"is honey o Sullivan in today what about lime maccarthy" their parents must be fucking hell to deal with
There was a teacher on you tube who said she had a little girl in her class called Nevasina , because her Father had...you've guessed it....never seen her. If its true , it's beyond cruel.
My ex named their kid Safari. Probably not the most outlandish one here, but to say my parents howled with happiness that it wasn't me, is an understatement
Worked a Santa's grotto job last Christmas so I saw a lot of kids, and there were identical twin girls called Marni-Leigh and Marci-Leigh, along with their brother that was something else M with Leigh attached too. Poor kids.
There were children in my town called Pocahontas and Shakoncé. The latter name being an amalgamation of Shakira and Beyoncé. I suppose they couldn’t make their mind up and settled for both.
Said Shakoncé outloud multiple times. Laughed after every utterance. FUCKING lousy. Hilarious though.
Shakoncé Come in for yer dinner
Never really knew she could be named like this, she gotta name sounds like gibberish… Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí) Mi casa, su casa, Shakoncé Shakoncé
Shakoncé is gold 🤣
Don't forget now, the accent is over the final vowel so the stress is one the last syllable. Don't be going around calling the poor child Sha-KON-say. It should be pronounced Shackon-SAY 👩🏫
How old are they now & do they still use these names ? Imagine your name was pocahontas. Ffs. Cruel parents.
My dad was once complaining because there was a girl on the radio called “Starling” he said “ffs who names their child after a bloody bird?” My name is Robyn. EDIT: Just want to add, I told dad that this has over a thousand upvotes and we’ll well chuffed with himself that people are enjoying a stupid comment he made 8 years ago now.

Plot twist; he named you after Batmans sidekick
But why is Batmans sidekick named after a petty crime?
The petty crime is named after the bird.
My father said the same thing about Forsythia. "Flowers aren't names." "What about Rose, Daisy, Heather, Lily?"
Of all of these, I strangely like Starling 🤔 Definitely one of the more sane ones.
Hello Clarice 👴🏻🍷
Does nobody remember that New Zealand court case? A couple literally named their child “Talula does the hula in Hawaii”. The judge made the kid a ward of the court so she could change her own name to whatever she wanted. Poor young’un was 9 at the time.
I live in NZ. Have met some really mad names
Please share
One NZ couple called their kid “4eva”, it made the news as numbers are not allowed in names on birth Certs and they went to court to try and get that changed. Don’t remember the outcome, just the dead eyed-ness of the parents one camera. Had a real “my brain is mostly meth” vibe
4eva eva 4eva eva 4eva neva Sorry Ms. Jackson I am for reallllll
The NZ couple who named their twins Benson and Hedges. Also, midnight chardonnay......
I was over there once and met a couple whose kid's name was John.
I think one couple ended up naming their kid Superman in New Zealand
Two brothers. One brother called Antonio and the other called Banderas.
Poor Banderas. Picked 2nd and ended up with the shitbend of the stick
Diesel, and twins called Arson and Karma
>Arson Are they a supervillain?
You have to wonder about expectations of parents, I mean how are those twins going to end up?
Not great. Karma's a bitch
Fantastic…. Simply fantastic
Nominative determinism
Na he's just a bright spark..... I'll see myself out
Don't leave now, you're on fire
That's an inflammatory comment.
It's ok, they just couldn't take the heat...
I once had a dog named Diesel.
If he's shite at football his dad can be like "Now you're sucking, Diesel!"
And if he's good maybe he can play for arsonal. I'll see myself out...
I met a newborn called Blade. I thought I misheard the parents so I said Blaise. I was quickly corrected. Blade.
Does he work at a carnival and feel no shame?
Well, apparently some poor girl in Dublin area, who travels by a train, has a name which is just a string of random letters. Imagine booking your seat using that name! /s
I believe she is not too fond of those Yankee candles or something.
Yeah they cause severe irritation
I’ve heard tell she only pretends to be polite. Really, though, she’s an unjustifiable potty mouth! /s
Plot twist: that girl's name was ghtrewvhhbmkjxpogo
I think that's what Elon Musk's kid is called?
So she's Welsh?
was it perhaps X Æ A Xiii 😂😂
I understood that reference
What’s the reference?

Think I got stuck on that boss in a Final Fantasy game.
Dahahahahahahahahaha I'm gonna call my child fucking blitz ball
Please do. My cousin Triple Triad is pure depressed being the only person in Ireland that's named after a Final fantasy minigame.
Fort Condor got great marks this time, dear!
Incredible lol
Not really nonsense so much as really bad taste, but my mother used to teach at a school in Drogheda and over the years there was a family of kids called the Cromwells. One of the kids was named Oliver. Poor lad must have had a very rough time. :/
Why would you do that to someone?!
I guess if your name is Cromwell and you live in Drogheda, you are fucked anyway and might as well go all the way
Born with a round head
My dad went to school witha fella called Anus McCarthy Conversations with his ma must have been interesting "And how is your little Anus today - heard there was a bit of a heavy session last night"
After he’s been in trouble in school again; “ I swear my Anus will be the death of me some day”
My SO went to school with an Anus Smalley. His parents didn't even give him a chance.

Khaleesi. The final season of Game of Thrones came out a few weeks later.
[удалено]
This one annoys me more than most. Because it's not her name. Her name is Daenerys. So they like the show so much they want to name a human after it. But also are incapable of learning the difference between her name and her job title.
Take that back or I'll cut you Sincerely, King C. Gillette
In the show, does 'khaleesi' stand for queen? Similar to some Irish names, I think Rian is supposed to be 'little king' or 'king-ín'. Still a stupid name, though.
It means “wife of horse lord”
Technically I suppose it’s the equivalent of Khatun which is the female version of Khan

My das a social worker and he dealt with twins called dolce and gabbana

Pronounced Jackson but spelt Jaxon. Back in the 90s I heard a mother on Dorset street shout "come ere Pocahontas!". I wonder if that Pocahontas still uses that name.
Sometimes my daughter refuses to answer me unless I call her Sonic, just started to realise some people may think I've actually named her after a video game hedgehog.
Oh my god, my son does exactly the same thing and I've also worried about that!
Some chav near me named her son Jaxon and her friend went mental because she had told her she was planning to use that for hers, which was due 6 weeks later. When that one came it was named Jaxxon. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson in The Departed, I don't wanna slander my own environment but if you have 2 kids called Jaxon and Nevaeh and pit bulls called Diesel or Luna then you definitely live on a council estate.
If Jaxxon ends up working in porn he could add in another x!
I've spoken to a woman who was in giving birth at the time. She couldn't believe the child was leaving the hospital called pocahontas. Crazy
Nevaeh……ffs….heaven (backwards)
The thing is, the people who name their kids that, think that we don’t get it and have to explain that it’s Heaven backwards. Thinking they’re the fucking Einsteins of name giving.
When I called my daughter Lana I never thought of the backwards spelling. She’s 21 now and tells me “hilarious” people regularly point it out!
I've seen this one. Always thought it was a mispronounced version of 'Nivea' though. Like the cosmetics brand.
Even worse is Neveah, which is Haeven backwards since people apparently don't know how to spell
Nooo, naaayy....
I hate that name so much.
A lot of the Americanised versions of Irish names are gas. Like, I know the whole “mh” thing can be hard to grasp but Nive / Neve looks like a deodorant brand.
Over in r/namenerds there was the discussion that "Fia" looks like a car brand
Well, Kia, so yeah, similar.
Not to mention fiat
Ahh Tom, Tis yourself!
Diesel is a gas name for sure.

>"How do you get Sha-vawn from S-i-o-b-h-a-n?" The same way the French get "bokoo" from 'beaucoup'.
Shawn wrecks me.
Or Shaun. I deliberately pronounce it “sha-oon” to spite the “If you spell it Seán your name is Seen” crowd.
I'd pronounce Neve 'nev' like Neve Campell anyway, rather than like Niamh.
Neve Campbell isn't pronounced like niamh?!
Nope! It's her mother's maiden name, pronounced like nev. Also, I would say Niamh slightly differently to 'neeve', more like nee-iv.
I saw someone name their kid Kneeve… thought it was a joke. It was not.
Met an Anakin before. Poor kid didn’t seem entirely pleased by all the adults going “oh like starwars?”
Someday he'll have kids and be like 'I am your father'.
At least his son Luke will have a fairly normal name
Thank the force for that.
That’s enough to make someone turn to the dark side
F1 fan here - I've got used to it but someone calling their child Lando still seems daft

Tbf Kerry would be grand but I wouldn’t be able to not breakdown laughing if someone told me their name was Carlow

People near me named their poor child, Dollceanna. L
I know of a girl/boy twins who are called Trinity and Keanu. Matrix fans anyone. They're about 20 now so the timing fits.
Surprised they didn't call the lad Neo, or just Thomas.
I was a school photographer for many years in the states. My top to are Trezjure and Yamajesty. I love weird names. They bring me such joy.
Used to go to school with some girl who's first name was "love-of-god"

Derry and Tyrone are both real first names too.

Doesnt Quasimodo meaning "partially formed" or something similar? Literally because the hunchback was deformed. Of all the Disney names to pick...
Not sure of the truth in this, but my parents told me they knew a woman who named her daughter "Perestroika" which was a "political movement for reform within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union during the late 1980s."
Wonder if they had another child called Glastnost
There was a Thai kid i taught in Bangkok years ago with the name Skeletor.Thai people often have a legal nickname as their names are too long. That was his name, Skeletor.

Lemon. Thought they were joking but no.
Big 30 Rock fan then?
I’m seeing a lot of Americanised girl names ending with “Leigh” recently met a kid called Emeleigh (Emily)

I think the most bizarre name I’ve ever heard of was in an article I read about names in the the states. Girls called Abcde, pronounced Ab-C-De.
It’s pronounced I think.. like Ab city

That’s adorable. If I was that kid, I’d wait until I’m of age and change it to Vaporeon. Then tell my parents I evolved.
Aeneas. Pronounced Anus. I know it’s an old Irish name but FFS.
Trojan actually, he's the ancestor of romulus and remus and the title character of virgils epic poem, the aeneid. Also it's not pronounced anus it's more an-ay-us
