Need to share these names with someone!!

[Curtisbaby5wks4days]

Ok so I entered my daughter into the local newspapers best baby competition. I've bought the newspaper today and in my daughter's category there are the following:

Acer (girl)
Minnie
Oakley
Sasha-Belle (actually love this but still..)
Maisie-Mae
Jäger (girl)
Avah'Riane
Tyla-Jay (girl)
Harijak (as in Harry Jack, not a mixed heritage baby from photo/surname)
Riley-Gareth
Teejai (boy)
Ocean (girl)
And that old favourite....Nevaeh : )

that feels better!

[ladymia]

in the UK??

[Bringmewineandcake]

Yep!
Have name changed in case parents of said children track me down...doesn't seem to have changed my first post though!

[FellNel]

Bloody hell. I am not even sure how one would start to pronounce most of those.

[carrielou2007]

Goodness!! You expect the parents to have been in JK asking for DNA test with names lone that, nibs if them with any teeth

[carrielou2007]

On JK not in

[Bringmewineandcake]

I feel I might have to change my daughter's name so she'll fit in with her future classmates!

[PixelAteMyFace]

What would you change your Dd`s name to? I suggest Lottie-Love

For a boy I think Beau-Lox is nice

[cantfindadecentusername]

Following Carrielou's JK comment, it probably is more indicative of the type of people who would enter their child into a best baby competition than your child's future classmates in general...

[Varya]

For a boy this week I like Jody.

[maidmarian2012]

I live on an estate, you should hear some of the names round here...

Bexley-Oceana
Frank
Brian
HappiStar (i absolutely kid you NOT)

I could go on.

[maidmarian2012]

However, whatever my opinions on these childrens names, I believe you have the right to name your children whatever you like.

I forgot, theres an Araminta, too

[Ginebra]

Wow that is some list. I can hardly believe it's in the UK
I like Sasha and Belle, but it's overkill together. I know a child called Maisie -Jane.

[BeeBopDingALing]

Wow that's a bit of a different bunch! But Maisie-Mae oh my goodness that's awful.

[Empress77]

oi whats wrong with Brian?

[Bringmewineandcake]

Pixelatemyface I think Lottie-Love is fab!

I think a combo of the most repeated choices would be best so Lacey-Lexi-Mae-Mai it is

[getmeoutofthismadhouse]

I know a Minnie , her siblings all have quite ordinary names (think Chloe, john , David, Rebecca) and then out comes Minnie ! I'm sure parents now just think of a name and find the weirdest spelling they can and lumber their kids with it !!

Poor children :(

[UnrequitedSkink]

I know a Lottee-Lou. Or is it Lottee Lu? Must check...

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

There won't be any confusion over nursery coat pegs. Refreshing to see such variety!

[FriggFRIGGisPoorlySick]

I like Acer and Oakley...

the other names are just,well,I'm not surprised to see them in a 'judge-my-baby-soley-on-their-outer-beauty-and-then-give-me-money-competion'.

[Lulabellarama]

maidmarian What on earth is wrong with Frank?

[happychappyJB]

I am a teacher and you should see some of the names we get in school -

Jedi (seriously)
Female (pronounced Fem-ah-lee)
Kofi (for a short white ginger kid!)
Klamidia (so not joking - it's practically abuse!)

It's so bad!

[OkayHazel]

Maybe it just says something about the types of parents who enter their babies into these competitions! (sorry OP)

[QueenOfFarkingEverything]

happychappy I actually don't believe you about some of those - they are well-known to be urban myths

[LulaPalooza]

How the actual fuck do you pronounce "Avah'Riane"?

[raisah]

I heard Trixabelle shouted out across the hall at the local music group.

Shauvaun - why mutilate the spelling of a classic name?

Candice (Candy is her nn)
