A wacky cricket celebrity baby name...

Some things are not worth remembering.

Wot took ya??

The best I came across was Godknows

Then there are names that don't make it well across cultures, and it's no one's fault.

For example the Scandinavian/ Nordic name 'Lund' in India and Pakistan. People calling themselves Mr, Mrs or Ms  Lund can create a sensation.  

On You Tube, videos on 'Lund University' excite much hilarity in desis. Juvenile, but even I can't restrain a few laughs at the thought of graduating from Lund University.

Similarly the Indian name 'Dixit', wherever English is spoken. Pronounced 'Dickshit'.

What is Lund?

a cock

So if Taipan was an academic, he'd be head of Lund Uni.

As Lardy says - it means cock.

There’s a bit of a nuance. Every culture probably has many synonyms for the penis. Just think of one of the more genially obscene, hilarious versions in yours, and you’ll came to an approximation of Lund as it sounds to us.

Not a cricket celebrity baby, but since the place needs traffic this month, Kate Middling has given birth to a new prince.

Think the name will be anything but wacky celebrity type name; it will more likely be some outmoded one like Arthur or Albert.

A recent wacky addition to names was one member of that ghastly reality tv family who named her daughter True. Of course a sibling has daughters North and Chicago West.

I question whether this joint ever needs traffic quite THAT badly.....

I'm sure Horrie is wetting the baby's head.

I reckon they'll go with Edward to Philip.

As for the Ks, so the cousins are True North?

Yes, and Kim K put the ass in compass.

Not much difference between these two click bait families.

Might make a bet on the entitled brats name.

‘Wallis’ is at long odds.

Sportsbet lists "Arthur" as the shortest price (3.00) name. Li'l Arty, ay?

Well I don't think it will be Edward because of his great uncle. Phillip may be too Greek for a first name. Albert maybe after great grandma's dad? There's probably a committee of the House of Lords meeting at this mo discussing it.

As he's unlikely ever to be King maybe they can afford to go a bit modern.

That'd be after the 'entitled brat' (cheers h) played by Dudley Moore in the film of the same name, of course....

The new boy is to be called Mohammud, apparently.

. or Ranjit .... Nigel?

L.A.C. Cambridge

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named their new baby son Louis Arthur Charles.

"The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge," Kensington Palace said."

---------------------------------------

So it's Li'l Prince Louey then.

horrie probably hopes he goes the way of his namesake Lord Mountbatten.

Louis the Fry.
