Scooby Snacks 23

Bumped into the parents of a child who used to go to my son's nursery and who left to start school in September just gone.

When I asked if he had made friends at his new school, the response was his new best friend is called "Blade"

HTF can you call a little boy Blade? I'm guessing it's from the Wesley Snipes character from the films, as opposed to a reference for a knife, but I'm not totally sure!!

Think of the shiite he'll get when he's older!

davegtt

Doubt he'll get sh!te. Imagine the type of parents he has, to have given him that name, probably roughians in their own right and the kid will probably grow up to be a PITA to society as Im sure theyre PITA to whoever they live next door to.

Buzzer

Chavtastic !!!!!!! LMAO at that name, mind you i cant see him becoming a hod carrier on a building site with that name pmsl

cster

How about "Smudge" and "Stone"?
Couple of young siblings in my local town.
TBH I think the mother does have mental health issues.

spireite

There's a lad in my eldests class called blade ,think they're Sheff UTD fans

Buzzer

LMAO thank god they never had a girl and they were West Brom fans that would be a bit embarrassing when she got older lol

Matteeboy

They might be better at spelling "ruffian" though...

I'd love it if the kid was actually landed gentry. Unlikely but it would be very funny

Must be difficult for teachers not to laugh.

Imagine they don't conform to stereotype and end up well educated and going for proper jobs at some point.

Reminds me - we had a bloke start work one place I was working...
Boss - "Guys, this is David, he'll be working with group from today"
David - "Hi Guys"
Boss - "So David, do you go by David or do you prefer to shorten it?"
David - "Most people call me Ace"

Stunned silence, jaws hit floor, quiet sniggering.
He was always called David round the office.

isn't a girls name porsche too? like how you pronounce the name not sure on the spelling of the actual name though just heard that name alot esp in films. i think people are gettin sillier and sillier with names, it all stems from celebs like peaches and brooklyn to name two.

The Zohan

know of one child called Nike (yes pronounced as per the brand name and in honour of it) another chavstastic name by chavtastic parents.


I did go to school with on kid called Slade back in the 70's so not a new phenomenon.

I do wonder what kids like Nike and Blade will end up calling their kids...

coolangatta

Trainer and Scalpel, maybe

eClaire

@ Nike!! Chavtastic indeed!


I once knew a bloke of african descent whos name was Nike but pronounced Nicky. I quite liked it

Adidas

Portia is a very old name

Portia (Merchant of Venice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Still wouldn't want to name any child after her though

Tidgy

CrisPDuk

Actually the latter of those German cars got their name from a girl

And I doubt William Shakespeare decided to name the heroine of The Merchant of Venice after his latest toy
