Thread: Naming cars with people's names makes me angry!

Forgot to mention the couple that named the kids "Jack Daniels" and "Tia Maria"

There are worse things you can do to your child than name them after some cars. After all "Mercedes" was a girl's name long before it was a vehicle's name.

I can't understand why some parents think it is clever, creative or cool to misspell their child's name.

This article explains why it is a bad idea.
Unusual baby name spellings: don't do it - Kidspot

This article explains why some people insist on condemning their child to a lifetime of explaining that their name is spelled "Mykel", not "Michael" or "Jorja", not "Georgia".

I think that illiterations of a child's name serves some very useful purposes. It informs teachers and healthcare providers on their first contact that the child's parents are either morons, ferrals or bogans and that the teacher/clinician have to modify their interaction with the child according to it's special (parental) needs. Assuming that the child may have had alternative learning over its lifespan.

Without the name and illiteration it may take months to identify the issue with the child may have a parental basis.

My all time favorite girls name is Ab-see-dee and how do you spell it "ABCDE"

Agreed. You can often judge the intelligence of the parents by the names they have bestowed upon their dropkicks (oops ............... offspring).

Was just reading the second link that VNX205 posted and came across the boy's name "Dwayne Pipe". Reminded me of a "Wayne Kerr" we used to have in our school.

But on the original topic - if people want to give names to their cars, I have no problem with that. Not something that I have ever done, but it doesn't worry me at all if others do.

Same for naming your children after cars etc. No problem with that either. Call your kid Monaro or Torana if you want - just don't get upset when the little darling comes home from school and says "Mummy - the other kids are all calling me skid mark, or mudguard or something similar". (Those who went to a typical Australian high school education will understand).

There truly are some winners out there.

But it's not just the bogans and ferals that get up my nose. The others that **** me off are the pseudo wealthy who have to pronounce words differently to demonstrate their (so called) superior education and status in life. You know, the ladies who don't get migraines or common headaches, but who suffer from "meeeeegraines" and the like.

I love taking the **** out of these pretentious ******* even more than I love upsetting bogans.

What about Cruze? If you're going to name your kid after a car at least choose one that's not ****.

I went to school with a boy who's surname was ****en. Poor bastard. Worse for him was his dad's name is Hans.

Does anyone else think that when the classmates of Nicole Kidman's daughter find out what her second name is, that she will be nicknamed "Sunday Roast"?

Sometimes I believe that some parents don't think things through as well as they might. I taught a child named 'Peter Abbott" but everyone just called him "The Rabbit".
