Names that would never fly in your country

Thurston reminds me of Thurston Howell, 3rd, from "Gilligan's Island" and if you grew up in the 60's and 70's you watched Gilligan everyday after school!

Since I work as an OB nurse, we pay alot of attention to baby names, we put every baby's footprint on the wall before they go home, and put their name beside it, so we sort of watch name trends.  My very LEAST favorite trend of the last few years is "Neveah" for girls, it's Heaven spelled backwards.  I absolutely HATE it, and every girl thinks they are being so original, but the schools are going to be full of little girls with that name.  Madison, Olivia, Emma, Emily are all popular.  Jacob, Ethan, Aiden, are all pretty popular right now. 

Our most original name that I've ever seen came from a rather odd couple.  Without breaking any patient confidentiality (I doubt that anyone knows anyone from our area...) a very young mom, with a decidedly middle aged dad, who had many grown children, had a baby boy.  The dad named him....Tuff Enuf.  Really.  He said that he had always had to be tough and make his own way, and his boy would have to be also.  Poor kid.  he's only a year old now, I wonder if the fights have started yet??

Sebastian Melmoth

My boyfriend wants to name our daughter (!) Reira, which should be the japanese name for Layla. It's a song by Eric Clapton

Diana, my ex of not so long ago was Nigel. He was an ass, so I hate the name now.

I was given another name when I was born. It is a Welsh name. It didn't go down very well here in Liverpool. I was bullied over it to the point of not being able to say it out loud, especially if I met new people. It cracked me up! Once I was 18, the name went. It is still on my birth certificate but, I now have a deed poll with the name I have used for all these years!

It was murder trying to get a passport! LOL! 

I'm not into really fancy names, my two are called Jacqueline and Samuel.

There are some daft ones about, sorry everone, but Kai is not one of my favs amongst many others

I have a friend called Randy. That wouldn't go well in England that's for sure.

Nobody liked the name Isaac when I named my son that back in 1991. I think it's become a little more popular now.

Of course over here in the States, allot of mens names are girls names in England, like Marilyn, Lynn, Shirley ("don't call me Shirley").

I Don't think Lou would go well in England either, and I know a few of them over here.
