Odd Names at the Midwife Office

[JJKCB]

Arsenal!

My best friend is a teacher and had a Metallicah Jane in her class. Not sure why they added the H at the end, but names like that definitely tell you what the parents are into.

lol subtle... my DS name is Jake which no one automatically knows why (after a film/band)

I wouldn't name my child something like Gunner Rose (guns and roses) or Pearl Jamie (pearl jam) lol

instead if I was a huge fan pick a name of a member of the band/actor/character to use

My friends have Nikki-Lee, Sebastian and Connor which is much more classy way of incorporating the bands/films you love

I'm guilty of naming my child after a band. My two and a half year old daughter is Anberlin...and I just found out yesterday that they are breaking up at the end of this year.

None of these are in my tastes. I'm all for unusual names but I have my limits... a couple of the worst unusual names I've heard irl were Stardust and her sister Electra

I picture Arsenal's parents as very dark and gothic looking people with lots of piercings and tattoos...but watch, they're suburbians that live in a cookie cutter neighborhood and listen to country music lol

really, I picture them as chavs or wannabe wags

I cant see anything Gothic about the name at all (my goth friends kids are called Ebony x2, Fraya, Scarlett, Autumn, Skye, Damien, Gilby, Anna and Ophelia)

I also cant see it as anything to do with country music

 

[Noodlebear]

I have 'goth' friends and I can tell you now....Arsenal is not a name they'd use definitely a 'chav' name if anything.

Sorry was meant to be lighthearted and funny. Didn't mean to cause anything by my comment.

 

[Noodlebear]

It is all lighthearted and funny...

She'll get called Arse and teased rotten

She'll get called Arse and teased rotten

Exactly what I was about to post.

I have no problem with people putting their interest into their child's name, but for heaven sake use it as a middle name.

My thought on the name cedar, some one might misread or mis spell it and call cheddar instead!

 

[Kitters]

Arsenal? Really?!?! If it is a football relation, surely a play on your favourite players name or something?

Now, Tottenham, there's a name I can get behind but Arsenal...

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Well, this midwife office is in Canada so unless they immigrated from the UK, I doubt it's after the soccer team lmao
