I've got to share this with you guys. I was visiting someone in one of the roughest housing estates in the area today, and then this mother stood on her doorstep and shouted on her kids.......called Troy and Aphrodite! I nearly crashed the bloody car........
At least there is cultural reference... Their next child may be Chronos or Zeus and the dog Hades! The story reminds me of a famous trial here when Renault sued a family for calling their daughter Megane Renaud. I forgot who lost.
One o my cats is Arthemis, another one Isis, and the striped orange one is William of Orange But they are cats, dammit. In any case better than DeAndre or T'Keiah or YaSheema
I actually think that those names are better then some of the Hollywood stars ones......."Apple" for example is just not acceptable.
Speaking of Cats. One of my adult cats-the male cat-is named Mr. Kelly--after the famous Clown: Emmett Kelly. ;-D This is because he is always clowing around and ticks off my other Cat-Shasta--not so named for the mountain but, for the brand of soda-pop!
If I have a cat named Orange why can't somebody call their son or daughter (which was it?) Apple? Urban Legends Reference Pages: Funny Names Bad Baby Names 13
Speaking of parents The Death of the Grown-Up - Diana West - Book - Review - New York Times Careful with paragraph 10!!
About paragraph 10, the defense of this Mother does not stand : it is explicitely forbidden to blow the driver during the ride
Naming your kids something bizarre should be considered a form of child abuse right up there with letting them get tatoos or wear a mullet.
I question the fact some adults have not got a clue how to raise a child, chavs breed chavs. I got a chav neighbor who tells their child to, "Shut your f*****g mouth." Both parents love the F word directed at and in front of their child it's one thing to give your child a daft name it's another matter when you got to raise them.
