Daft British parents calling their kids daft names

[FireBlade]

FOOTIE-mad parents have named 36 boys and girls ARSENAL as a craze for wacky names sweeps Britain. Three lads have been given the first names DAVID BECKHAM after the former England skipper and 28 BROOKLYN after his eldest son.
Another 29 were dubbed GAZZA, despite the ex-soccer genius’s off-field troubles.
Golf nuts named 1,191 sons TIGER while other sports fans stick with brands — two children being called REEBOX and three named ADIDAS.
Celebrity-obsessed parents have also sought inspiration from the world of movies as well as pop.

A survey of British birth certificates has found six boys with the first name GANDALF, the wizard played by Sir Ian McKellen in Lord of the Rings, one HARRY POTTER and two lads called SUPERMAN.
Some 1,120 boys have been named KEANU, following Keanu Reeves’ success in movies such as Speed and The Matrix.
Rap has made an impact too, with 426 boys called DRE, after Dr Dre, 27 called TUPAC, seven JAY-Z and even three named SNOOP.


Girls still lead the way though.
There have been 7,261 KYLIES registered since 1984, 265 BEYONCES, 288 MADONNAS, 2,614 SHAKIRAS and 1,611 BRITNEYS. There are two registered as APPLE, the name actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay singer Chris Martin chose for their daughter.
A further 472 were called PEACHES, after Bob Geldof’s daughter, and 48 after singer DIDO.
There are 8,716 called KEIRA — most born in the past five years, mirroring the rise of actress Keira Knightley — and 16,123 DEMIS, after Demi Moore.
The survey was carried out for family history website findmypast.com.
Spokeswoman Sarah Malone said: “It seems many of us are happy to take hero worship to a whole new level, naming our children after the stars we admire.
“The famous British sense of humour is alive and well — with six parents naming their son Gandalf, along with the Harry Potter and two Supermans.

I'm of the opinion that the parents of every one of those children should be enrolled in a eugenics program.

Yup that's right, no knowledge of how to actually spell his name, it was transcribed phonetically
