What's your favourite?

I think mine is Kryseteyen or even MLE

I saw a Wilyrd the other day... not even sure how to pronounce it.

Is it Will-yard or is it Will-erd?

Is that supposed to be my name? I can't even tell!

My favorite part of that page is the opening:

It’s been decided that the sheer volume of offensively named offspring necessitates its own dedicated page. So here it is. Please submit your suggestions! The original blog entry about the bogan’s love of ridiculous child names can be found here.

Caution: The next person to recount “Le-a” or “Abcde” as a bogan baby name will be shot.

The girl across the road is Kenijah

Margaret

.

I guess that would have to be all 4 of my childrens names.....yep, they're all on the list although a couple of them with different spellings.

How is Abbey bogan?

I think the next pet I own will be called Le-a. Just because I can.

I'm only about fifteen names in and I'm already laughing at Ad'm and Abbergale.

Abbergale??? My giddy aunt.

Anfernee, I assume, is after Arfernee "Penny" Hardaway, the NBA star.

I wonder if this site is just using names from Australian bogans or if they are picking names from an international slate.

I would classify Anfernee as more "ebonics" than bogan, but then again, I analyze this crap WAAAAAAY too much!

On a different note, the fact that "Sofie" and "Elodie" are on there tells me that the authors of the list are not name nerds. They probably think those are kr8tive spellings.

I like "Feebi."

Abbey is a bogan name?

I'd love to see twin girls named 'Canduss & Caughtneigh' lol! (I must admit I find the cre8tive, yooneek spellings the most entertaining!)

Sierra-Leonie is just terrible.

The best one I've come across IRL is 'Dezal' (Diesel).

I only got to 'b' but Bbeeccaa and Beeanchor are awesome!

probably because it's a Monastery.

The one that jumped out at me was Lucious. I was thinking they were going for 'Luscious' and thought 'what they want their child to be a stripper when she grows up? Then I googled and it seems there's basketballer with that name, and most likely more a mispelling of Lucius.

Defintely some non bogan names on that list though.

In my local paper on Saturday - Huntah - and it was a girl (from memory, the middle name was something quite plain like Jane so maybe she can use that when she gets older!)

Cheers,
Julie

This was in my local paper last week.. still cant decide if boy or girl

Jahkye

Thoughts?

Hunter is a fabulous name for a girl but only spelt Hunter.

It must just be the spelling of Abbey, I noticed Chloe on the list as well, but spelt every which way but Chloe.

My nephews name is on there......Gage, he is 18, is that really bogan?

My sister will be mortified

Lol.

I stumbled across Caitland in our local paper recently
We have an Arni-Ka at our coffee group. The name in itself is ok, but I don't like the spelling.

From the site, some stand outs for me:

Dan-yel
Eirriinn
Kdn (I have to assume this is Kayden?)
Klowee

But I these....

Nafan
Maffew

My neice is Clowie, I inwardly cringe whenever I see her name written, love the name though

Three of my kids names are on that list. It doesn't count because I used correct spellings.

Some of the names on there are not bogan. They are just unusual. Brock Peter is the ultimate bogan name and I like all the C names. There were too many awesome choices there

Ceazyr-Czar

To me, that read like Caesar Scar - poor bloody kid

RE: "Jahkye" could be a very unique way of spelling Jake or Jake-y. Odd either way.

Here's a winner courtesy of my bogan welfare living brother and sister in law.

MAXTON

and you can't call him Max, no way - you HAVE to call him his full name.

To make matters worse, they called his brother Tyson.

I agree some of the names are not bogan but just made bogan by the way they're spelt.

I recently saw the lovely name Darcy boganised by spelling it Dahcee

That was my intial thought, though a friend pointed out it could also be Jackie....

I think Australia should consider adopting the same child naming rules as Germany.

Is it supposed to be Caesar Czar? So essentially Leader Leader

The other one could be Ja Kye.

Maybe, I don't know. I don't speak bogan.

Although I may rename DD2 Charismatage. It has a certain something, don't you agree?

Ambah...

Bbeeccaa?????

Bylinda....

Dan-yel.


Jahzara how do you even prounce this. DS goes to school with a girl called Jahzara.. l just call her Jaz

there are a few for Madisson... but l know a girl with the name Madason.

Tahleia.. had to laugh at that,, my daughter is Tahlia but we also know a Thalia and they pronouce it Tah-lee- ah




But how is the following Bogan?
Abbey
Brayden
Brock
Dillon

my name is there too Rennay.. lol at least my parents spell it Renee

I'm quite annoyed that our boy & girl names are on this list:
Drifter-Cash & Diammond Sparckle.

Noice.

I like that you've named them to reflect their future careers.

I think Diammond Sparckle really ticks all the boxes.

Unusual - check
Kre8tive spelling - check
Reference to money - check
Dooms child to life as stripper - check

It just doesn't get more bogan than that.

I thought of EB instantly when I saw a 'Abbygale' at DS' kindergarten last week.

Xal (pronounced Crystal) love it!

Another favourite Jeni-fa Jennifer maybe?

Acid - what they were on when they conceived / named the child?

lol, you just reminded me of a young girl I knew years ago who named her baby Journey (because she was conceived on a trip).

DP

Oii Niinjaa

Really. Just really.

That made it easier

I work around mums and bubs so I hear some corkers - my absolute favourite has to be Cleopatra - it would have worked if Mum and Dad had been dark skinned and exotic, but no they were tall, strapping, freckled Anglos
Zedaryus - noice, different, unewusual
Alaska
Conan
(I have a feeling I met the parents of the original Diammond Sparckle)
It has been a bit boring lately, everyone seems to reverting to names like "William" and "Charlotte"
DF and I were considering calling our unborn DD "Chardonnae" - people thought we were serious

I remember when Dusty Rayne was born - her name earned her a write up in the paper. She was born in the middle of the drought during a thunderstorm.

i think so, or Christine but who can tell

Ahh yes, thought that would be a good one









Great names there S
