My grandfather was a child welfare officer in the 50s and 60s and changed a lot of kids names who were taken into care, lots of them were named after battles dad fought or died in so there was Tobruks etc. Last Leave and Ford V8 were the standouts for us.
Here I was thinking boganism was more of a recent thing. I guess they have to descend from somewhere.
@Paekakboyz as the most recent Dad on here we're all hoping you've gone full Bogan with the name? Don't let us down....
@Virgil do we know Metallicas sex yet ? ( as if it's any better either way....)
Bogans are a more recent thing but ferals are not it appears.
-
@Paekakboyz Only if you are considering delightfully traditional names. My heroines so far have been Annabelle, Catherine, Emma, Caroline, Rosalind, and Grace. Upcoming heroines are Louisa, Eliza, and Mairi.
Not much scope for fucked up names in Tudor or Regency aristocracy, which is a huge relief.

Its just that, back in the day, anyone picking a stupid name was told how fucking stupid it was. They then realised how stupid it was and changed it.
Now, once a bogan is told they're wrong, they fucking scream blue murder until the other person is forced to laugh and say "Sure, go fuck your kid's life up just a little more, Aynjyll-Merseedees"

Bogans always put on a massive display of the simplest good manners. Case in point; always standing when some woman enters the room, as if that's supposed to offset the fact they're raping their niece.
Or getting massive tattoos of their kids' names but won't pay maintenance...

I locked a kid up called Wolverine once.
There was a chapter in the book Freakonomics a few years back which discussed a study done on how if an employer is sent an identical CV, one with a "normal" name and one with some sort of retarded made up name, that the employer will choose the normal named potential employee something like 95% of the time. The moral I took from that is that you're setting a kid up to fail for life by giving them a stupid name.

@aucklandwarlord I was working with a Jamace and a Stoney last year, one day they will both be featuring in an episode of police 10-7.

Going to be interesting to see if that changes on a generational basis e.g. the odd stupid name gets through to the management position, and suddenly we've got a bunch of Law Firm Partners with names like Anfernee or Princess...

@jegga Could have been worse I guess - Stoner.
I used to spend a lot of time in Asia and in HKG they get to chose their own "English" name.
I asked one girl why she had chosen "Dolphin". Simple answer - "I like Dolphins" which meant that pretty much every bloke I know would call himself "Boobs" (with all due respect to Booboo).Some other favourite names of people that I worked with. HKG girls called themselves "Apple", "Winky" who seemed to have a twitch, "Cherry" who had lost hers some time ago I suspect, and a Thai girl called "Porn" (actually quite a common name I think).
Oh and another Thai called "Meow" - so I just called her "Pussy".

@taniwharugby That first line "Imagine being called Anal" made me laugh.
Japanese airline "All Nippon Airways" is probably a limited liability company but they left off the "L" on all of their marketing and painting their jets. Flying around with ANAL written your tail might have put of some of the crew...so they wisely stuck with ANA.
-
@Snowy I expect that calling the kid Anal was the male thinking about the choice he had made 9 months prior....
-
@taniwharugby - That was my first thought also.
Much like a similar story a few years ago, when one proposed name was "Bus Stop #9" - which I assumed was the point of conception. -

So face,mouth, tits might have also been options?

Just call the kid Unemployable and be done with it.

I'm hoping (praying) that it is an ethnic name pronounced a-NAAL (like Amal Clooney ... ). All the same child has been rescued.
It wouldn't really matter in the playground, so yes it is a relief that the child has been spared from that one. Probably called Assfofri now (or some other ethnic name).
