[LondonJonnyO]

All suggestions welcome. Those most likely to annoy the missus will be presented as options.

Cornelius

Frogmella

Some funny ones in relation to names of babies registered in Scotland over the last year.
Among the pearlers were:

Pochahontas
Boo- Tiger
Storm
Wynter Wood

Can only imagine they came from the underclass.

[BlueCoverman]

Years ago the local fishmonger was a chap by the name of Douglas Balls

Named his daughter Ophelia...true story!

[super_realist]

There was a pikey family in one paper the other year who named their son:
Drew Peacock.

You only have to look at the leaderboard at any PGA Tour event for a nice long list of silly names. Here are a few I can think of...

Keegan
Chad
Brandel
Kyle
Bubba
Boo
Randy
Hale
Hunter
Bryce
Corey
Webb
Vaughn
Tiger

[diggers]

I think Diggers has a certain gentrified ring to it.

Probably the most stupid name I have ever heard, and doubly embarassing by insisting on being called it.

[Doc]

LJ you're from Essex and will see plenty of chavs down there with some reall handles Why not go the other way and insist on Tarquin, just to give the lad a chance in life or how about Winston Cloindexter

I work with a woman who remarried but her first married name was Peacock.

Called her son Chris

[LadyPutt]

D4S - remember there used to be a presenter on TVS called Chris Peacock? He used to pronounce it "Crispy-c***" as well. Always had me in stitches.

LJ - your first one's called Slug ... how about Lettuce?

[venice1]

Adolf Jong Il Amin al-Qaḏḏāfī des Rothschild has a certain ring to it.

Imelda Evita "Squeeky" Thatcher if it's a girl.

[drive4show]

I think Lucifer has a certain ring to it

Pity that his pikey Dad did not suffer from the same condition!...

[oldshanker]

Goddammit Ladyputt I was going to say and lettuce.

Used to know a girl called phillipa hole. so she was called p hole obviously, but her full name was better if you called her fillup her...

knowing your cabbie background and your love for black rappers...how about fifty quid guv?

[LondonJonnyO]

I have suggested adolf. Being jewish that got a very negative response from her. As did the slug and lettuce idea

[ChrisGG]

Horatio?

[gaelgowfer]

Pistaigin?

[LondonJonnyO]

Gael its probable that name is the reason we need a childs name!

[Noshankingtonite]

I still think it's got to be 'Elwood' if its a boy; that's a given. Why not name your girl 'Bella' (in homage to Golf-chat's very own pin-up girl).....

[Doon the Water]

Hi LJ and congratulations

Seemingly Zander [Alexander] is the most popular boys name on the Shetland Isles. I quite like it myself although I have a suspicion it is the name of a fish species.
The Shetlands is now officially Scotlands 'best place to live'. The cooncil negociated a .01p % deal on all oil 'landed' back in the Thatcher years and it is now pulling in the benefits.

[BlueCoverman]

The cooncil Doon?...prepare yourself for an 8 match ban!

[venice1]

Well, if it has to be a Shetland name, how about Lerwick which is the name of the town as shown in the photo accompanying the 'best place to live' article in the Scotsman.com

http://www.scotsman.com/news/scottish-news/edinburgh-east-fife/shetland_is_named_best_place_to_live_in_scotland_1_2024273

I don't know about the 3 hours less sun per day statistic as being good for one's golf game.

[smithersjones]

Isn't there a place called Twat somewhere in the Shetlands?

[oldshanker]

There is indeed SJ - it's right next to crinkly bottom!

[1GrumpyGolfer]

I see Joey Barton's called his kid Cassius, so that ones out then.

[Noshankingtonite]

I still maintain 'Elwood' for a boy. It's a cool name and when he's about 17, playing lead guitar and pulling chicks galore he will thank you and you will in turn get to letch at a bevy of 18 year olds trooping after him. Besides if you call him Elwood and your missus knocks out another chubby in a couple of years, you can call him 'Jake'. If you have a lil girl, you have the 'Bella' and 'Megan' option. Everyone's a winner

[Doon the Water]

LJ. you have to be very carefull in naming a child. Dame Doon and I thought about Fallon for our girl and Neil for oor boy.

[Yadsendew]

'Neil Doon' and 'Fallon Doon' would indeed be an unfortunate names for the child - perhaps 'Stan Dup' would be more appropriate! John Thomas is also very popular in these parts. But my all time favorite is that well known German Skier: Fanny Schmelling

I have played golf with Jimmy Riddle and Adam Zapple.

I love the thinking of the parents who named their golfing daughter Chrystal. Well done Mr & Mrs Caithness. Very bonnie lassie who is a future Scottish golf star.

For those who are confused Caithness Chrystal is a well known Scottish chrystal glass company.

LJ have you and your lady made a decision yet?

[Doon the Water]

PS
When I used to do open competition draws and there was the odd gap.
Instead of putting the A N Other name up I used to make up different names such as Sam Wannelse and Anne Otherone.

[Maverick]

Ahh the naming of children! LJ whens the rugrat due......

Ok Crap names list

Chucky!!!
Rooney (Shrek for short)
Tyson
Barnaby!
Jeremiah
Iovah! (or in the non latin spelling Jehovah)
Agememnon
Kane

Used to play footie with twin brothers Michael and Richard Head......

I love the names some parent use when the take into no account whatsoever of their surnames like the Neville brothers father who is called Neville Neville (must have taken them hours to think that up)

[diggers]

Think the Nevillle Neville thing is a Welsh thing. Not uncommon there, doesn't make it right though.
One of our NCT group couples is called House and the woman had Iona as a possible name. The hubby had to point out the problem.

[MustPuttBetter]

I genuinely used to have a solicitor contact named Hugh Gentry
