Monica a pretty normal moniker

in the blog below the article, was the following comment:

Without a word of a lie. I attended a christening last year in one of the Bogan capitals of WA (Rockingham) and these very young parents named their baby daughter “KheSahn”.

I am sure the dug the song and just as sure that they had absolutely no idea about the bloody battle that pre-empted the Cold Chisel ballad.

Now THAT is priceless!

Boganism at its best….

Well, I don’t think the ancient Scottish, English, Irish and French were bogans so my name is definitely not from the bogan category 🙂

Barbarians are to bogans as mammoths are to elephants.

Wasn’t there a guy on Big Brother named Bohdie?

Isn’t Dannielynn the name of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby?

I’m sure Ryder is the name of Reece Witherspoons kid.

Schapelle – drug smuggler chick.

Shakira is a singer (if you call her a “singer” I prefer to term “noise maker”)

Sienna… Sienna Miller.

Alot of the names in that article seem to relate to celebrities or people in the media. I know a few kids with “odd” names… India, Talulah, Blaze and I went to school with a kid named Leif… we didn’t give him as much grief as you’d think.

You can laugh at the bogans Thumper, but remember: they are breeding like rabbits to cash in on the baby bonus – they are (like it or not) taking over our country…

All names until recently actually mean something, that’s the charm of them — the link with Old English, Norse, Saxon and so on. The only made-up name I like that I can think of off the top of my head is Wendy, quite charming.

The rest are all bogans. I propose a cull, which will operate as follows: go to any food court with its multiplicity of choices, and shoot everyone queued up at KFC and Macas.

You know it’s right, you know you want to.

Rules to naming your child. To borrow from the SMH – do not under any circumstances name your child anything ending with Rae or Lee, after a US state, a colour, country, fruit or luxury car. I would add to that, do not name your child anything mis-spelt, phonetically spelt, hyphenated, apostrophied or rhyming with “ayden” eg. Hayden, Jayden etc.

While I can’t deny that I’ve had a snigger or two at some of the unusual names, the ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude of some on this discussion is amazing. All names are made up, some are simply more ‘acceptable’ to some people than others. I get the feeling that the same people that b1tch about ‘political correctness’ are the first to suggest laws should exist to prohibit unusual baby names.
Let’s think about things a little differently. Having a common name like ‘Peter Smith’ is going to never give you net-search individuality. A unique name is much easier to be found in a web search – which can be a good thing and sometimes a bad thing.

Nothing wrong with Skaifie! Go Skaifie!

LOL @ “Denim”. What next? Flanno?

Meet my son, his name is “Foam Stubbie Holder”

“Skaifee”? Motor racing fan – I’m guessing not in the Ford camp…
