Re: Bogan Aussie Names
Would they call the following kids Cabsav and Shiraz! I actually think their are two ends of the extreme here, there are the bogan underclass and then their are the Mosman yummy mummy types who also pick ridiculous names for their little darlings. I actually think the Mosman yummy mummies in their ridiculously expensive over sized sun glasses and associated bling are worse than the bogans.

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?

He is Scottish.

As a teacher with a special interest in phonics, xx does not exist as a phoneme or a blend in the English language.......Jaxon I could take phonetically, Jaxxon I cannot. However, there is probably someone who will disagree!

Re: Bogan Aussie Names
That actually works but naming white kids ebony is like corn rows on white people. But you should never name your black kid Charles, Susan or Nigel or colour their hair red - with a straight perm no less.

It also seems that my name was at the height of its popularity in the 1920s.

Re: Bogan Aussie Names
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
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.
