I fortunately had two girls but if we had had a boy my hubby wanted to call him Eli Forest Stuart Pearce. No prizes for guessing which team he supports!
So glad I had girls as I made him promise they wouldn't have anything football related in their names!

Actually that's not so bad, and won't be totally embarrasing to explain later in life.
I have known of children named after some of the weirdest things, brands, parents interests, or perhaps even situations.
I won't recite them here, but I bet there is a site somewhere in the WWW which does offer that info.
I guess what saddens me most is that parents must not always consider what effect that might have on a child growing up, and certainly as an adult not many people I know might feel Ok being named after a favorite American brand of Peanut Butter,,, or an American manufacturer of bed linens.
That said,,, I accept that nicknames exist, and often for silly reasons. Mine happens to be CHIP, and was given to me by my grandfather. I no longer use it however at 62 years old.

Sheesh.. naming after famous people on a team is one thing...but after a team is another. My son was named 'Austin' after 'Stone Cold Steve Austin' WWF, back then. Which is a normal name, thank god. As far as teams are concerned, Chelsea, sounds cute for a girl. Even though i personally hate Chelsea's team, LOL. Hmmm, no way i could name any of my children after ManU..hahahah! Thats just to weird.... and ridiculous!!

No, but my next door neighbour has called her 3yr old James Thierry Henry Spencer. She panicked last season when the footballer considered a move to Barcelona. Her and her husband are avid Arsenal fans.

In the area that I live, there are quite a few girls named Chelsea. However, I have yet to find a Miss West Bromwich Albion walking the streets.
I shall keep my eyes peeled.

That's ridiculous to name your children after soccer teams, these days children seen to have some funny names that in school is going to get them mocked by others.!!!

Um, do you mean like naming the kid..........Pather Wildcat Smith? Or Hornet Blue Devil Jones?
I would have to say.........um, no i do not have a child with that type of name. And I am sure they will be grateful I havent done anything like that when they are older.
Good luck to Petersborough Posh.........
