I think the name Neaveh is just horrible. A lady in my neighborhood just names her daughter Greenlee Meadow
I have heard many wild names but it would take forever to list them all.

I think Zappa's four kids win this one hands down. Their names are:

1) Moon Unit
2) Dweezil
3) Ahmet Emuukha Rodan
4) Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.

Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit has topped a list of celebrity offspring with the most bizarre names, according to an online poll published today.

Another of the late US singer-songwriter's four children - Dweezil - also makes the top 10 at No. 7, but there are no mentions of his two other children: Ahmed Emuukha Rodan and Diva Muffin.

The top 10 is:
1 Moon Unit - Frank Zappa
2 Apple - Chris Martin/Gwyneth Paltrow
3 Misty Kyd - Sharleen Spiteri
4 Geronimo - Alex James
5 Heavenly Hirani Tiger Lily - Michael Hutchence/Paula Yates
6 Dandelion - Keith Richards (Rolling Stones)
7 Dweezil - Frank Zappa
8 Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q - Bono (U2)
9 Zowie Bowie - David Bowie
10 Rufus Tiger - Roger Taylor (Queen)

I met a couple of Trekkies who called their daughter "Seven" after the character Seven-of-Nine. I kid you not. It was also double barrelled with some silly 'fashion' second name like "Jayden" so it was like "Seven-Jayden"

EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Apart from that I'd say any fashionable name that everyone is using. I'm Welsh and I don't like the name "Dylan" which has suddenly become really popular since Catherine Zeta Jones used it. People say its "Traditional Welsh" but its not, the only Welsh man I've ever heard of called Dylan was Dylan Thomas. There are much nicer, more traditional Welsh names to use for boys - Ioan, Aled etc. Dylan to me just sounds Council-Estate like. Or like the stoned rabbit from The Magic Roundabout, lol! I also dislike the name Rhys (don't know why, just sounds ugly) and I've met a couple of little Dylan-Rhyses whose parents thought they were being really patriotic and traditional. Yuck. If I choose a traditonal Welsh name for my next child it will be much nicer than that.

While not a bad name in itself, my sister had a teacher called Joy - the problem was her surname - Sex....

While some names in full sound fine just using initials can cause some unfortunate results - my poor collegue needed to ring a client but had to get someone else to ring the man because he couldn't stop laughing when we tried to work out how to say it without causing offence - the gentleman's name was Mr P Eniss.

I was sitting in a cafe in hastings when this troop of teenage girls huddled outside to share a ***! I started listening in to their conversation because I overheard one calling another Portia (A name I hate..) it was only after I had gathered the other names (Marranello and Mazzie, which I assume was short for masseratti) that I clicked the first name was not portia but porche! Grrrrrrrrrr... Yuck.

My sister had a baby recently & one of the mums from her ante-natal group called her new daughter "Swarovski" after the crystal. Lol!
My ex partner has a daughter called Orchard, he said if Chris Martin can an Apple, I'm having the whole Orchard. Although to be honest the name has grown on me now.

EDIT- Just remembered I was in a shop the other day & I heard a woman calling for her daughter, a little toddler, "Bluebell, Bluebell!". It sounded really pretentious.
