[Closed] So, the wife's sister has had a baby, and it's name is (and I kid you not)..

😯

Welsh?

gazuntite

says Uncle Lodderopoulos

I assume she / her partner is Greek?

Sounds like a bad Harry Potter spell.

Yes to both. And being married to a Greek girl, I am no stranger to unusual names.

But there are unusual names, and, now it seems, seemingly vindictive ones. I think I laughed for a good 5 minutes when I heard it.

I was ready for Lemmy Bowie Rickman.

Forever disappointed - going into gift shops and never finding you name on a key-ring or mug.

loddrik junior?

That kid is going to have a nightmare when it's old enough to have to phone call centres.

My neighbour's Greek, nice relaxed pragmatic bloke. They were quite astute in calling their son Jason.

Isn't that the fella who owns the laundrette on Albert square.

Mike Oxlong?

Greek or Cypriot?

It's okay, I'm sure he'll be known as Tolis.

At least you can pronounce his surname, took me a few days to get around my wife's surname when I first met her.

Unless they're going to Hogwarts they're going to have a fun old time of it at school

@chip - no, that's Mr Opodopolous.

It's a little known Eastenders fact that his first name is Trevor.

Apostolos Apostolopoulos...

If that was said in Glasgow, people would assume it was an armed response officer.....

Stop! Polis!.... A Pistol Polis!

A friend of a friend named their child Maverick Danger Mcphee-clough.

Apostolos Apostolopoulos

Maverick Danger Mcphee-clough

Could have been worse, could have been Nigel.

Maverick Danger Mcphee-clough

I joked about giving my son Danger as his middle name, was never actually going to go through with it though. It is one of his nick names now though.

My parents showed great forethought and accuracy when they named me

I like it. it sort of bounces when you say it, happy times ahead for that young lady.

One of the doctors smeared in the recent Moet Medics articles was called [b]"Stuart Stewart"[/b] which I guess is kind of similar in a Scottish way.

I have a neice called Paris

Poor girl

At least you can pronounce his surname, took me a few days to get around my wife's surname when I first met her.

What was her surname?

WorldClassAccident - Member

Your name isn't actually WorldClassAccident is it?

I really do have a mate called Mike Hunt.

He was a manager in a local supermarket, oh what fun we had popping in and pretending to complain about stuff at the tills.

I'm not joking.

I have a niece called Breeze, always reminds me of a washing detergent.

I have a niece called Breeze

First name "Fi"?

[i]Your name isn't actually WorldClassAccident is it? [/i]

No, it is hyphenated in the real world

[i] I have a niece called Breeze

First name "Fi"? [/i]

No but her surname is Ilian and she is very neatly shaved

It has a ring to it, that's for sure.

I can't help thinking when they do introduce themselves, later on in life, that it'll be a case of " no, no don't apologise" and the inevitable " I'm not, that's my name!" Retort..

Good for a few giggles for sure.

OK Loddrik, does she live in this country, or in Greece?

So how's young Loz doing?

a bad Harry Potter spell

Spells in HP were in Latin, not Greek. So unless he was off to some foreign wizarding school, he's still going to be in for it when he gets to Hogwarts.

Avada Kedavra to you!

Is it a boy or a girl??

And it's nick name is???!????! 😀

We know somebody whose two daughters are named Harmony and Rhapsody. I guess the next will be named Symphony.

I know triplets called Faith, Hope and.... Stanley.

My Nephew is called Oliver Ritchie.

Standard issue Greek naming format if my family are anything to go by.

A woman at work has just become a grandmother to Nevaeh.

Read it backwards.....dreadful or what?

My sister-in-laws sister has a son called Genghis & their surname is .............Khan. I kid you not.

I get a lot of job satisfaction from Chinese people's chosen english names. Flower Power Yang probably had a bit of a wake up call when he arrived in Scotland. I'm not convinced this is true but a colleague in Glasgow swears he met a guy called Snickers

Sounds like the flower pot men when I say it aloud!

There's a Neveah at my daughter's school.

Amazed someone hasn't trotted out the Pocohontas McGinty urban myth.

Destined to become a hitman.

One Midlothian school sported a Kylie Wylie a few years back..
