Silly names.. ?

Post by Chloe_88 »

It might be a silly thread.. but as I came across a ladies name the other day.. I couldn't help but wonder if parents think about the name they will give to their child.. What i mean is the combination of name / surname.

Miss N. Ipples. I spoke to this lady the other day.

Flower Pot. (This name was recently rejected, as it was thought of as a silly name).

Bennie Thuis (translates as: am not home)

D*ck C*ck. (had to put a star in that one! This was an art teacher of mine!)

Dik Hamburger (translation: fat hamburger. Also a teacher of mine)

Bloem-sterre (flower-star, someone we know called their girl this)

Connie plassen (Translation: couldn't pee)

Why would someone do this to their kid !?

You'd better keep these poor kids off the streets and give them private tuition with names like these

A guy I was in the navy with was named Thyme.

Later, he married, and they named their first boy, 'Justin'

He was a bit miffed when I suggested their next son should be named Nickov.
