There’s a guy in my office called Simeon. Pronounced ‘Simon’ but wouldn’t you just want to smack your parents one? There’s also a chap called Cyril, the absolute shame and embarrassment. Could you live with that? And a fellah called Arthur too and a Fiachre now that I think about it. Worst of the birds is probably Celeste. What is the world coming to?  |

Finbarr is possibly the funniest name I’ve ever heard. Any time I hear it I can’t help just cracking up and laughing, really hilarious. I also know a guy called Enda. Like what the fook? A real case of ‘hello there grandad’.

Have met a couple of girls recently called Theresa. Not really a young persons name is it? Some parents should be shot.
Neville Neville is Gary and Phillip's Dad, they must have been taking the piss!
I always found Nigel an amusing name. You have to question anyone called Damien post The Omen too!

Ok you probably won't believe me but I knew a fella when I was at school whose dad was Swiss with the surname Hock. His parents christened him Mike. Ouch.

Came across a girl called Kelly Kelly during the week. It's her own fault, the second Kelly is her married name. However I understand her sister-in-law is also called Kelly Kelly, which is pretty lazy by the parents, and now (ironically) doubly unfortunate.

My folks used to work with a bird called Marie Mee and she pronounced the Marie as Marry. Mee was her married name. A ridiculous state of affairs.

I know a guy from my neck of the woods called Ignatius and his middle name is Aloscious
Marcus Bent still cracks me up. When he played for Ipswich with Darren Bent I thought that they were brothers - used to crack up at the Bent brothers
Danny Invinsible is another funny one
I think there is a guy called Frank Sex who once played football for Kildare

This was a letter to the Irish Times a little while back...
Madam, - A. Roden (June 27th) calls for respect for the feelings and rights of others. Yet the letter is marked by aggressive and distorting language - "indulgence", "exhibiting their naked bodies", "parading herself naked".
It is a pity that he/she does not show a bit of respect for those who live their lives in a slightly different manner. If he/she is going to be upset at finding some naked people on a beach, there are plenty of other beaches to choose from. - Yours, etc.
And the writer of the letter?...
JOHN GOODWILLIE, Old County Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12.

she reminds me of one of those roundy mugs you had as a kid that popped upright again every time you knocked it over Must be tempting to try that with her to see if it works |

I work with a; Manus, Gilles and a Finbar. Agree with Finbar being the most unfortunate name ever, the guy could be gorgeous yet you wouldn't touch him with a barge pole!
For those forum members who don't already know the story, I also know of an Ita Cox, she's an 80 year old woman....but what an unfortunate name!

I've have encountered a "Buddy Hamburger" on my travels- it was hard keeping a straight face whenever you had to say it, although he was massive fook so it was life/death situation if I didn't.
Also have known a "Radiant"- she was actually a bubbly personality, so did she live up to her name or was she actually radiant naturally?- interesting debate.
On "Enda"- I was surprised to discover a while back it is also a birds name, you could here the surprise in my voice when I spoke to Mr. Enda, I think she got it a lot- the name thing I mean.

Robbie Robertson always seemed a stupid name to me although he makes up for it with good music. Just browsing through sky news website: news.sky.com/skynewsClick on the terrorist story and look at the fifth paragraph, poor fooker. Ed Balls |

I knew a guy who played football called Ger Gough...... but my personal favourite is Mike Hunt.......... Ger Gough took me ages, was literally saying it out loud in work the other day as I tried to work it out. No wonder everyone thinks I'm weird in there. The Donegal wing back in the Nicky Rackard Cup game was called Justin McGee. Seemed hilarious to us down the pub anyway. ;D |
