As I teacher I've heard some corkers!
Tequila
Storm
Chewbacca (I kid you not!!!)
Jamison (girl)
In Oz I've come to realise that every other boy is called Cooper or Ashton. And this year I've had Bayley, Bailey and Bailee in one class together.
I also cannot abide the crazy spellings ...
Izabella
Jaxson
Kameron
Haelee
Jessyka
:curse:
Following on from poor old Bethany Beever I knew a woman called Gaye Haw, not so bad when written down but not so nice to say out loud

I work in a preschool and we had a Tallulah, sweet girl, and her sister Daisy. Fine unless you shorten them and then you have Tu Dais!!! ( two Days) I did mention to the mum that and she laughed. Luckily shes a mate also. ![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
We have had Charles-Richard, which you werent allowed to shorten and the poor boy had a double barrel surname. His brother Rufus.
Our old neighbours youngest of 5 kids was Xandor Valentino!! Watson!!
Bless their hearts.

My daughter had a friend with twin brothers who were called
Hoxford and Livar (pronounced Leeevaaaar). Everyone called them Oxford and Liver. Their baby sister was called Honeybun

Why do people feel the need to saddle their children with bizarre names?? I know everyone has a right to call their child what they want, my dad argued with me when i told him KELSEYS name, he said he would call her Kelly...i told him that wasnt her name, but he couldnt understand it!!
But, please, why land your beautiful innocent baby with names like:
Princess Tiamii. or however you spell it.
Apple
Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo
At the end of the day it isnt the parent that is stood in the middle of the playground having taunts and jibes chucked at them on a daily basis!! :curse:
There should be a limit on how stupid a name is when you go to register.
Its bad enough having a crap surname with out a crap 1st name aswel.
My maiden name was awful and i couldnt wait to get married. ( it wasnt AWFUL as in Nickie Awful, it was an awful surname
)

I've got an unusual name and got picked on all the time, esp when we lived in Scotland, I was called "Pastie" because a meat and potato pie is called a Bridie ![Embarrassment](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif)
Much as I love my name, it did make me wary of calling DD anything that stood out too much.....

Spare a thought for Nicole Kidman's daughter, Sunday Rose, who the media has already dubbed Sunday Roast!
