Some of those first names are particularly unusual to be honest. I wonder if those names were funny when they were alive, or are us 21st century folk just malicious? :p

glad to see most of them are a long while ago!

 

A few are quite/comparativley recent: I have gone back into the original post and changed the font colour for those that might be considered to be 'modern'

I have a friend who no word of a lie has 7 middle names, one of which is McClean. :rolleyes:

 

Apparently his dad only wanted one son, so he got all the possible names. Always makes me laugh if he ever has to give his full name for anything.

 

Mike.

:DI have a friend called Joanne King or Jo King LOL

 

Is she a presenter on Radio 4? ;)

 

I always wonder whether "respected" (amongst those who believe in such things) psychic researcher Edgar Cayce wasn't having a laugh at his followers' expense.

When we went to register the birth of our son (now 3), the registrar told us about a couple in the previous week registering their baby girl.

 

I can't remember all of the 10 names, however two of them: Ocean Whatever...

 

The year before that poor child the same couple registered a boy with 10 names all taken from Knight Rider.

 

 

Their reason? "because you have to have a laugh don't you" :rolleyes:

Continuing on the odd [anti-social?] names for your little ones I had the unfortunate experience of coming across these forenames for students while working for another LEA:

 

1: Bedspring

 

2: Beerbottle

 

There may have been others but upon seeing these I was determined that I should not remember any more. I would not have believed it had I not seen it for myself.

 

Unfortunatley these two have stayed with me all these years.
