Ive just seen this, who in their right mind would be happy to shout some of those names in for tea They should never ever have been allowed!!

Im all for calling your LO something special to you, but seriously think that this is a form of abuse! wonder what awful names this counrty has permitted? some people may be happy with names I wouldnt choose but some of the names are ridiculous.

How dare people pass judgement on my chosen name Esme when there are Number 13 bus shelters to condem!!

I think it was Number 16 Bus Shelter. I hate it when people get my name wrong, so I thought I'd point it out...

Esme is a really pretty name by the way. Reminds me of disc world but I really like it.

My unusual name hasn't affected me at all; in fact, it has helped me make friends and improve my confidence, especially since leaving school.

These I find especially funny!

No-one ever considered that the child might like the quirkiness of their name. Nothing has ever held back my development or progress in the world. I'm now working in the catering trade and everyone calls me Eggy. I don't see the problem!

I hated my parents for what they named me up until I was a teenager, but then I just became comfortable with it. I suppose it was just bad for me as my sister was called Judy.

I have been teased mercilessly from childhood to my adult years...you won't believe the amount of times people have burst out laughing right in my face when they ask my name..

I've taught a few funnies, insert name you wouldn't call your child if your surname was...

Williams... he's called Robbie

Brown.... Charlie

Perry... Matthew

A school nearby has a child called Pocahontas (I kid ye not) and I've also seen a Mac (just Mac, nothing else). One of my primary school teachers (who is a neighbour of my mum) had a friend at school whose name was pronounced oh-nye-on. The spelling? Onion.
