When you're worth many, many billions of dollars, the correct pronunciation is 'yes, sir'.

It's pronounced: "Yes, I know it's complete bollocks, but my parents are idiots".

I like the the mother's comment of "A 12 = precursor to SR 17 (our favourite aircraft)"

So favourite that she got the name wrong. "Our" favourite, sure.

Mentions A12 was known as 'Archangel', but it was also called 'Oxcart', wouldn't want that to stick... 

That's even worse than Mr and Mrs Tew who wanted to christen their daughter Iris.

Why not go for sr71 then? 

I'm inspired, expect in 9 months a proud announcement of the arrival of TPS-E0 4c Diluted.

I guess it's pronounced yesmidadsadick

I USED to wonder why celebrities gave their children unusual names. I don't any more (and you've given an interesting explanation). Here for anyone's interest are some other celebrity children's names:

its in the special language of THC

Erm, about this list of “celebrities”. Advertising standards have been informed.

Oh no! Please let me off! I'll drop 3 quid per celebrity into the Llanberis MRT collection box soon... HONESTLY

What, none of Boris' children in your list?!

"he's not particularly conventional" maybe, but he is boringly predictable

Last week he came out saying he thought Tesla shares were overvalued.  That knocked 14 billion dollars off the company value.

Err no, sticking to 'ollywood celebrities, don't know why

Not enough space on UKC servers...?

Exeea12?

Poor kid.  Maybe it'll asked to be called something like 'Exee' when it's older?

And I thought N-a was bad.  Apparently, this one is now not unusual in the US but caused confusion when it arrived in the UK.

N-a is, of course, Nadasha.

Also  N-ah

Also kinell

It makes names like Arwen from (iirc) The Lord Of The Rings seem pretty normal and kind as choices.

Edit: That's cool, it is actually Welsh and means 'noble maiden'.

The children  who have been given these ridiculous names have my permission to give their parents a hard time.

Or even better, the A10 Thunderbolt!

Wasn't that also known as 'the warthog'?

The man is a fruitloop!

I think it looks more like a puma.

Should have called the kid Avro-730.  Years ahead of the A12 and just for a change the McMillan government of the time cancelled it.  It’s spiritual descendant may yet fly as Skylon.

"It's thought that Grimes may have given birth in California where certain names cannot be registered.

(...). Names have to consist of the 26 letters of the alphabet."

Feck me. Californian dirver's licenses must be like a foot long

I used to work beside a Malaysian girl who's English first name was Iris, second name Choo. I never found out if this was intentional or not.

Poor wee bastard.

I hope his parents stay rich.

Imagine him ending up in P6 in Castlemilk primary school. He wouldn't last the week.

I remember a story from Japan where a couple were forbidden to register their child as Delicate Blossom Plucked From Hairy Bottom so they went away and thought about it came back and tried to register it as Devil Child. Again they were refused so they tried to call it Something Else and were incensed when that too was refused because they claimed they they had been told the they must call it something else.
