I once heard of a couple who double barreled their surnames when they married.

the boy says he likes Alfie & Alf... but gets the right hump when kids at school call him Elfie (at xmas!)
Poor Alfie.

Oooooh sorry Stonks the thread just reminded me of that article
No Charli, it goes to show where my newspaper robbed the article from....Reference:
Poor Alfie
Don't pity him Yogi... he came home from school and gave it to me with both barrels.. it was my fault apparently.. Cos I had "allowed" him to go to school wearing a green 'elf' style santa hat (it was xmas)... HE CHOSE IT!!! His sister got a pink one, he chose the green elf one!
but twas all my fault!
Anyways... back on topic...
I know a couple of kids with "unusual" names... that I really like now.. actually I have just realised that the boy is no longer a boy and a full grown man ( don't time fly)... he is called Blue... but it really suits him. It always has suited him.
The other is a girl ( *thinks*... yep still a girl) called Seven. And again... it really suits her.
(& Yes... her father named her Seven after Seven of Nine from Voyager)

I can't quote but if I may correct one of the above posts.
With reference to the musician of our times, registered names were................
Moon Unit.
Ian Donald Calvin Euclid.
Ahmet Emuukha Rodan.
Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.
: pedantic :
They wouldn't register the name Dweezil, and thus he wasn't allowed to call him that. But they did anyway.
So if you want to call your kid minge ahad, just do it.
And there was me thinking that unusual names only exist in fiction

Charli... there seems to be a quest amongst the parents of my generation to have children with unique names... there are some right corkers out there.I always giggled at a kid in Alfs primary school..... it didn't help that he was a pain in the backside, and looked a lot like Plug from the Bash Street Kids, and he was called Storm.
Pamela Stevenson was talking about a kid in her son's class at school in LA, who was allowed to name their new baby and named it Skeletor!

and named it Skeletor!
I am liking the kid!
How are these people going to ever get their name past the FB censors. They wouldn't accept Smarting Buttocks.
I once had a friend who was named JesusMaryandJoseph.

Well who would!!
I mean... OWWWWW
My German teacher's surname was Lucas and she named her son Matthew Mark (Lucas) and they called him John.
Why would a parent want to name their child anus? Give him a unique name, sure, but not something that will make him the butt of every joke!

LOL SUZI I like what you did there>! Such a simple obvious joke, but funny.
Thank you Starbug! I'm really surprised it wasn't done earlier, especially as I am crap at puns - but I do love them!
You're welcome Suzi.

Of course it was your fault.
My name is ten a penny (Sue) so I was keen to choose less popular names for my children without them being too wierd. So my son is Max - and the only Max in his school - and daughter is Lydia. There are two other Lydias though.
The thing is you can do that and then the name becomes very popular. My friend called her son Joshua before it was popular - it was familiar but unusual. When he was a few months old U2 brought out The Joshua Tree and by the time he strated school he was in a class full of Joshuas.

A mate of mine has a son called Rett. I've always liked it but it doesn't suit the kid if you know what I mean?
