These names or variants there of seem to appear on threads like this a lot. I personally think it is an urban myth but I am going to put them up before anyone else does.
T_a (Tdasha) N_a (Ndasha) etc A lady I once knew called her youngest son Timo (pronounced Teemo). At the time, I thought it sounded like a good name for a puppy, but I didn't tell her that. |

I have seen a variant of this through my work: L - asha (Ladasha). Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes :blink:

Re: Bogan Aussie Names
Hate to spoil to the fun but it's not a country thing, it's a 21st century thing.
Actually edit that. It's a since people existed thing but more obvious in the 21st century. 50 years ago, many of the common name now were unheard of. Also, who decides if the spelling is wrong or not? Who has decided that Jaxxon is incorrect just because it's not Jackson? |

Re: Bogan Aussie Names
I guess it is best to name your kids with names that you are prepared to shout out from the back step.
I had heard someone had called their child Kerosene pronounced Ke-ros-sen-ay. Think that is an urban myth too. |
Re: Bogan Aussie Names
This is a fun site. It is from the birth records for NSW from the past 111 years. You can track the popularity of certain names. My name, Paul, reached its peak in the 1960s when I was born. Not popular at all now.
The old names like Lily, Ruby and Grace are popular now. http://www.nsw.gov.au/baby-names |

Erik Erikssen Magnus Magnusson Yes, some names may appear strange, but this is a country built from a multitude of beliefs, countries, heritages etc and those influences are bound to become more prevalent as immigration continues. The 3 websites give the names in rank order for 2011, 1981 and 1950. Just as clothing fashions change, so do names. 2011 1981 1950 |
