Unusual Boys Names

[Rupert_Baehr]

He always was a bit strange ...

I like the name Gabe.....Also my son was going to call his boy Kadon Reece...

[rubydazzler]

they called my great grandmother frances i think it works for male and female

Frances is the girly, but Francis is definitely the boy one.

 

There are some god-awful names being bandied about on here. It reminds of me a line from some report I read to the effect that social workers and teachers learn to call children by the most bizarre names without batting an eyelid

 

At least when Swift made up the name Vanessa, it had a certain elegance.

I once worked with a woman who had three daughters and a son. The girls were called Jarrine, Querrelle and Kaiter...

 

Very "Jean Genet" - I like it.

 

I like this suggestion of calling a boy Red!

 

Say no more

Hideous, like some ghastly third rate permatanned American soap actor.

Please tell me that this comment was said in the style of Kenneth Williams

 

I'm not saying I disagree with you btw

Oops. Isn't that a Protestant insult for Catholics? A really bad word, its like calling your kid níggér or chink..

 

Lets hope he never has to go to Northern Ireland..

 

Yes, it's a pity people don't do a little more research before naming their children.

 

The name came well before the protestants turned it to mean something else.

 

Its a pity people dont do a little research before they post.

She hasn't called it Tadhg though, has she? She's called it Taig

Besides, it doesn't matter whether originally it was a used name, hundreds of years ago, unless the poor little thing is going to Northern Ireland in a Tardis (or even parts of Scotland for that matter) I'd suggest he's going to have problems, especially considering he's English.

Taig, Tadhg are one of the same, just different spellings, and maybe not everyone is as shallow as you when it comes to hearing someones name.

 

Taig, Tadhg, Teague = poet, bard, storyteller !

Poor response, that. Sounds the same yes, but the reason they have different spellings is connected to the fact that they have different connotations.

 

As for me being shallow, I'm Athiest and I certainly wouldn't be giving the little 'un trouble for his name, but if you think he'll go over there (maybe in 20 years attitudes will be different, lets all hope eh?) and not have people think he's taking the **** when he tells them his name, you're in a dream world.

 

Imagine my mum calling me **** but saying its alright because it hasn't always been used as an insult.. Some people would still take offence.
