The Tallulah Thread Part 2

As someone with an unusual name it is a PITA when you're a kid! I always felt left out when other kids had 'named' things as there was never a hope in hell that they would have mine! My Husband was in a similar position, though his name is a bit more popular in his own country than here.

LOL YOUr husbands name was one we were considering if we had a boy. :)

Here you go

Shikuzukumimika! lmfao


I had a fairly common name. Back when I was at school I was often in a class with at least one other Rebecca if not two. My main gripe is when I get called Rachael. I'm not frikkin Rachael. My year 10 maths teacher spent the entire year calling me Rachael and in the end I just answered to it. Rebecca isn't that common anymore but it was when I was at school.
I had a fairly easy to spell, known last name then when i got married it became tricky and I constantly have to spell it.

I went with a traditional name for my daughter. She's had one other Emma in a class with her but more likely people named their kids Emily.
 
there was a Jenny-Ann the other day.

jenny is already a shortening i guess thats okay but whats up with the Ann tacked on the end??

she was only introducing herself as Jenny so sounds like the ann part is just official.

I knew a Emma-Kate. I felt stupid saying her name LOL
 
i think its really important to have a name that other people can say. there is a girl at work i cant quite pronounce her name its all funny, and i avoid having to talk to her because i know i just cant say her name!!


i have another funny thing but its not a bad name, but how common it is. there is an Mia, whos brother married an Mia, but then the first Mia married her husband who also has a sister Mia. so now Mia has two sister's in law named Mia hahahah.
 
A first day of school pic in the paper - Nissiah.

NFI re: pronunciation but I reckon it'd rhyme with Messiah, which just makes me lol.
 
I just read an article about the above, RD also has an 18 year old son called Indio :rolleyes: people who take lots of drugs should have baby naming rights removed from them.:D
 
am writing a monolouge about dodgy baby names, I just need a couple more.

I remember in the old thread, we were discussing names with as many silent letters as we could, can any one remember what it was?
 
I found this goffy......

Many readers will be unfamiliar with the British name “Cholmondeley,” pronounced, inexplicably, Chum-ley. (This 12-letter name has five silent letters, two of them vowels.)
 
I have loads of Irish cousins and their names include:

Aoife
Gráinne
Deirdre
Siobhán
Fionnoula
Orlagh
Eoin
Emmett
Fearghal
Tadhg


and the list goes on my mum has 7 brothers and sisters so there are many more Irish names.
 
I know how to pronounce all of them except Grainne.

I'm guessing Granya? or Grenya?
