PaliRichard Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm in two minds about this. Our first child is due in Feb and if it's a boy we're calling him Eoghan which may be a bit odd in Sheff but perfectly normal in Ireland where my wife family is from. I do object to things like the story I heard of a family calling their child Adolf Hitler (the authorities removed said child), I think it depends on context, naming a child after a pop star/football wouldn't be my cup of tea but there's nothing 'wrong' with it. On a more amusing note my dad was at school with a girl called Anette Curtin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. ..........the names that I admitted to having an inward cringe at are the made up ones : Sahzneys, Rebkas, Dazeey (they nearly always have a z or k in them) .the worse once are the combinations of two names ; so Sam and Kylie becomes Sylie.

SE25 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The funniest ones are the occupational names that Yanks seem to love. If Mason or Tyler is an acceptable first name, why not Plumber or Joiner or Electrician? Eoghan always makes me think of the guy out of Ghostbusters.
