Funny things kids say

I once looked after a kid called Rogan Josh, named after the Melbourne Cup winner. Parents were so chuffed with themselves (they were very horsey). Weren't so pleased when it was pointed out that the horse was actually named after a popular Indian curry! I think they wanted to change it afterwards. Proves research can save a bit of embarrassment later.

Schacobii. Say what?

Wayne Kerr. A name no doubt given by parents who didn't know what this name sounds like.

Echo. This is a bad name to start with, but imagine it on a secondborn identical twin?

Force. Another very manly man name for a little boy.

Rainbow. What next, sibling called ... lollypops?

Teresa. Not a great name for the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Green. She'll get it right in the neck once she gets to school.

Jaysen. Not an especially bad name, but not a good one either. Assuming this is pronounced "Jason", this child will need to spell their name out to people for the rest of their life.

Ellashaye. Definitely a good stripper name - a young lady by this name was in the Miss Nude competition. But it sounds like it was inspired by the Ella Bache line of beauty products ...

La Dynasty. This will always be my favorite bad baby name. Not only is it terrible to begin with, but apparently the mother is irritated that people keep calling her baby "Lady Nasty".

Twins, Maximillian Hercules and Merlin Redbad.

None of those names are bad on their own per se (although some are a few hundred years past their time), but the way they are paired and then paired again, that is quite the combination - spy, Greek god, wizard and pirate.

Mike Rose. On a biologist. Say it fast. Microbes! Geddit?

Apparently he gets comments all the time. Poor man should have chosen a different profession.

Knifth. I don't like this name. It is very bad and some people in Saudi didn't like it. I think it animal's name ^_^

If you don't have the money to buy yourself the best consumer goods, you can be sure your child will be blessed with all the class these expensive brand names bestow if you just name your children after the best of the best. Mercedes, Chanel, Gucci, you know the deal.

Angel. Just imagine the pressure.

Mayleaka. I'm sure it sounds lovely, but the spelling just makes me think that this would be the worst possible name for a boat.

Thanks to the popularity of the weight loss show "The Biggest Loser", there is now a growing number of little boys inflicted with the name "Commando".

For those not familiar with the show, the Commando is a trainer with a military training style.

You know you spend far too much time on Facebook when you actually call your kid "Like".

First name Rescue. Middle name C (just C, the letter) and last name Hopper.

Rescue C Hopper.

When your son's name is Rascal, you can call him "you little Rascal" all you like. But what happens when he gets older and wants a job, or woe betide he grows up to be a very quiet, well behaved lad?
