List updated 5/1/11!
It’s been decided that the sheer volume of offensively named offspring necessitates its own dedicated page. So here it is. Please submit your suggestions! The original blog entry about the bogan’s love of ridiculous child names can be found here.
Caution: The next person to recount “Le-a” or “Abcde” as a bogan baby name will be shot.

Any and all names that are lifted from celebrities – i.e. Brooklyn, Romeo & Cruise.
I heard a man calling his son the other day, “Exavier, Exavier! Come here, Exavier!” I was very tempted to inform him that the correct pronunciation of his son’s name was “Zavier”, but I restrained.
People have started spelling the name Xzaviar, as they like the X sound of it. I personally use X-av-i-er when saying the name for my child, as that’s how I wanted it pronounced. I also know plenty of people who leave the X silent.
Your spelling is correct, therefore you are not a bogan. the X is pronounced as Z.
Or as a J by french speakers
NOPE not ever
The x is not silent in Xavier but it is pronounced as a soft ‘h’ in the Spanish name Javier.
Kylie, before you get too smug, its you who is the total philistine and has no clue how to pronounce the name. That man’s pronunciation is no worse than your own
Xavier is a French name and has never been pronounced Zavier. It is pronounced
Zah -vyeh
zahv-ye
ismaybe a better orthography
Jesse, before you get too smug, IT’S you who is clueless. There is a sense you googled your responses with your lack of basic grammar. You can avoid this by ensuring that next time you append “contractions and their appropriate usage” to your list of research.
If I had fraternal boy/girl twins I would name them Epoch and Era. Just saying.
Wise decision. He’d probably wanna smash ‘ya.
Wow. I guess Yankee-Doodle Rednecks aren’t the only ones who fell for this stupid naming trend. The stupidity is world wide!
nenamatahari WTF
Just joking, but what a bogan name for an unfortunate child from Franga.
What about KVIIIlyn. I sh#t you not. It’s Kaitlyn. the VIII being the roman numeral for 8 K8lyn Kaitlyn. Death penalty for that one
Why have I not seen a Renesmee yet?
I will cry when I do.
News article on “creatively” spelt names. Clearly penned by a bogan. http://m.theage.com.au/executive-style/management/is-your-misspelt-name-a-career-killer-20140831-10ar4d.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=NC&eid=socialn%3Atwi-13omn1680-edtrl-other%3Annn-17%2F02%2F2014-edtrs_socialshare-all-nnn-nnn-vars-o
Imohjen (Imogen)
Tighe (Ty?)
Tighe is an Irish traditional name and is pronounced Tige, like in tiger.
I know a Tygrr. My cousin Stephann’s oldest son.
Krishon, Eduanya, Stephann, Eduanya has 3 kids, Menorah, Kyrah, and Rene. Stephann has two, Tygrr and Cyrus.
‘Tighe’ is an old Catholic surname – a rich local Catholic school has one of its Girls Houses with that name.
A neighbour called their daughter “Siobhan”. Nothing wrong with that as such. Problem is, the parents can’t pronounce it correctly and call her “Shobin”…
Siobhan is pro uncles like sha-von.
Autocorrect changed that. Not pro uncles. Pronounced.
I’d like to think most of the sneering posts here are ‘kidding’.
But they aren’t. Where do you think names come from: Officially Approved Dictionaries of Names? Or the shelves of Upmarket Department Stores?
Language is largely made by ordinary folk (just think how African-American jazz/blues/rap was looked down upon, then a generation later infused middle-class culture).
I’m not saying the whackier names here will all survive. But some will, and the language will be richer… My name is ‘Graeme’. Did the language police decree in Elizabethan times that it had to be ‘Graham’ or ‘Grahame’? My daughter is ‘Madeleine’. Should she be ‘Magdalene’?
Graeme,
I don’t know about the rest of the posters here, but some names parents give to their kids nowadays would disqualify them from getting a job outside Coles or Woolies. (casual)
Olddavey, I think your parents should have been disqualified from having kids. being intolerant to the point of discrimianting people from their name is seriously stupid. you need to remenber that a large portion of Australians were not born in Australia and have different background and may name their kids after names from their country.
People short minded will make fun of others rather than trying to know people…
Sure, you do have a point, I noticed that some names on the above list have clearly been stolen by bogans from other cultures. This site is a bit of fun, don’t take it too seriously. Bogans do have a habit of creating new strange names that often look misspelled, or seem to be named after something they value. Some of these names may endure over time and be used by others, but a majority of them simply will not last because they are just too cheesy for words. With some names, you can clearly tell what the parents were thinking when they named their child, and it would be safe to assume that there are no cultural origins for names such as Princ’ess, Holden, Jack Daniel, Rocket, Stealth Wolfe, Ricca-Donna, Tiffany Diamond… and the list goes on. In all honesty, would you give your child one of those names?
Nice!
the name Ashlee was around way before the likes of Ashlee Simpson the singer existed.I am pleased she didn’t name her kid Bart given it was a son.
A girl in my class
DeeCee
One of my friends are Konnah. Johnson is a first name for a kid in my class
Cori.
I’m Paula but some nuf nufs spell it poorlah. Shannon- Shernan
Moesha (pronounced mo-ee-sha)
Goel for Joel wtf
Jaycee, Kaydee, Jay Dee.
I don’t know why you have listed the name Elodie. Elodie is a classic French name. In French it is spelt with an accent over the ‘E’. It is certainly not a bogan name in Europe. Jody
Maybe not a Bogan name in Europe, but the Bogan who thought of it would have probably been pissed when filling in the naming document and couldn’t remember what an M looked like.
Am I the only person that reads Élodir as L O D A? Ell-O-Dee-A.
Élodie
I agree. There are many old/traditional names from other cultures listed here. And since when is Boadicea a bogan name? It’s a Latinized version of Boudica – the ancient warrior queen of a British tribe who battled the Roman Empire. There’s even a famous statue of her in London!
Very sad to see ‘Royal’ on this list of bogan names. It is an old gaelic/scottish name meaning ‘red’ and was the name of my much loved grandfather who was born in 1912. This name definitely does not belong on this list and should be taken off 😦
Same. My great uncle was Royal.
Not sure about Scottish, but the Irish/Gaelic for Red is Rua
Jadzia should not be on this list, Jadzia was awesome
Jadzia Dax.
I live in a VERY bogan area regrettably and I know of a woman named Cherokee. There is also a Brody, Brock, and my son’s kindy teacher refers to herself officially as Miss Shazza. Name badge and all!
Brock, meaning Badger, comes form the Old English Brocc.
Kerosene ( care-os-any)
What about Nickolas? k instead of H, my poor sons mum to blame…and surname dolly for a boy?
Russians, Greeks, Macedonians and others from the Balkans often spell the name with a ‘k’ when they translate the name from the Cyrillic into the Roman alphabet.
Your name is a measurement plus a province. Why so smug?
How dare you call people bogans because they choose unusual names
olga ya velry bogan na ofencey
Misspelt names you mean. Or surnames used as first names. It’s the dumbness, not the weirdness.
I work with a Jordyn-Ann
Max, by your surname I guess you’re a cobbler, right?
I bet there is someone that has named their children King, Queen, Empress, Emperor, Prince, I have met a Princess, Duke, Duchess, Earl, Countess or Contessa. One should stay away from titles. My daughter is Cecily. As a joke we call her Princecily. And an old friend of mine worked with a “Precious”. I went to pick him up for a work and he says “Precious is such a b#%}>!” I respond, “is she black?” He said, “yes. How did you know?”
‘Shynyng-Starr
….always with one vowel, one hyphen and one apostrophe.
My wife is in a due date baby group on FB and the most popular name among the mothers to be is Khaleesi from GoT. Though some are suggesting taking a made up name to an even more original level by misspelling it Caleesie.
The funniest thing about that is Khaleesi is a title, not a name. However I doubt that they were paying that much attention.
I bet there is someone that has named their children King, Queen, Empress, Emperor, Prince, I have met a Princess, Duke, Duchess, Earl, Countess or Contessa. One should stay away from titles. My daughter is Cecily. As a joke we call her Princecily. And an old friend of mine worked with a “Precious”. I went to pick him up for a work and he says “Precious is such a b#%}>!” I respond, “is she black?” He said, “yes. How did you know?”
the name reminds me of the calici virus whitch kills rabbits.
DeeTeeDee would be a good name, too, if we need more vermin-killing names.
Did you not mean DeeDeeTee? DTD i beleive is a web code markup language tag. Just saying.
My daughter’s friend called her baby son Kyce. Kyce??!!?
Ebola is about to become a popular bogan girl’s name.
The more sensitive of the breed will use the more effete Evola.
I work with some interesting children’s names , the most memorable being Kaos (those parents were asking for trouble) and T’shaye L’nay (and he was a boy)!
I knew a DJ Kaos. An actual disc jockey. His real name was Bobby.
Analiyah
Vagina (pronounced Vajnia)
Yeah
At least the name “Kitty” would be more discrete.
Arion
Pronounced ar-ee-on
Poor bastard has light hair and blue eyes
I have 2 students from Pakistan called Aryan. It is a name that means ‘noble’.
Deal with it.
Especially because you are named after a god yourself so you should know better
“Untermensch” would be a more appropriate name for your students.
You’ve missed an absolute howler. The bogan parents who saw a nice name when down at Bunnings and named their daughter Keh-ross-enn-ee – spelt Kerosene.
& shazza
Kree for short.
Shar-vorn (Siobhan) also spelled as Shavaughan
aaliviah
Hi my name is Shannalise i don’t know what my name means
Probably a variant of shana or Shawna or shauna or any version of that name and Lise is a diminutive of Elizabeth or Elisabeth.
It means she “shannalises”.
Lara and her latest squeeze didn’t disappoint us with their sprog – Rocket Zot.
Way to go Lara, sure fire way to have your kid bullied at school.
who knows in years to come parents don’t often think of the consequences.I do not think much of it now but our family car and my mother shares it’s name with one time neighbours actress alin sumarwata and both are definetly not bogan sounding names.
Boys in my daughters playgroup – Ryott and Onyx. I’m Irish, and love listening to other nationalities struggle with our traditional names. My cousin in Sinead (shin-aid), and some American relatives were calling her Sin-e-add, as they had only seen it written down. My husband is an Australian (with Irish parents) called Sean (Shaun). His sister is Una (oo-nah). They were called See-Ann and (to this day) You-nah growing up.
Ireland is where boganism originates.
Right so, my niece was born yesterday, and they named her Bliss.
I don’t get why some of these names are bogan, just because they are not John, Mary or James. My sons name is Saxon, and in no way is that bogan, not quite sure why it there but anyways whatever.
It is bogan.
Saxon was a race of people. Where do you think the term Anglo-Saxon came from?
Yes im well aware who the saxons are and that the anglo-saxons comprised on that german tribe and british descendents. The name Saxon also means swordman.
Misspelling is the big give away.
I went to school with a ‘Sunny Sky Golden Morgan-Black’. He liked to be called ‘Joe’.
‘Bilyndah Jaiydhe’ is another personal favourite I have encountered.
I also knew an ‘Oshun’, although her parents were admittedly more hippy/feral than bogan. I think they were into naychah.
I went to school with ‘Sunny Sky Golden Morgan-Black’. He liked to be called ‘Joe’.
Bilyndah Jaiydhe’ is another personal favourite I have encountered more recently.
I also knew a girl called ‘Oshun’, although her parents were more hippy/feral than bogan. I think they liked naycha.
How about a girl I went to school with the kids were:
Noah Ocean
Willow Joy
Ivy Lily
Ahem, ZANDALEE.
Joylene
Leonie
Deonie
Fruity Lexia
Leonie is from France, it means lioness or strong woman. Feminine version of Leo or Leon.
Sage?
Sage advice.
But it can also be hippy.
I think you need to check whether something is actually a “normal” (ie traditional) name from another culture, before writing it off as “bogan”. Raphaelle is just the normal French feminine version of Raphael, and Milan is a very common name in Slavic countries. Sure, you could mock bogans for pinching “exotic” names from other countries, but you can’t always tell what someone’s cultural background is.
I’m not going to defend Dijon and Chardonnay, however…
For those who came in late, it is the parents that are being laughed at not the kids.
ICB on Kerosene.
If I have a son he will be called Theodolite.
Thalidomide
Johmike, A+ bogan name from upper middle class family
Girl’s name Melena (also the name of bloody stools associated with possibly cancer).
Ashlee Simpson has a son called Bronx.I knew he is all grown up now but can you imagine naming your kid after one of the worse parts of a city
Lots of Melenas Melinas Maleenas… etc.
every name is bogan. Yours is and deserves to be drowned. There, everybody has copped a serve. fk you later 🙂
“Willow” should be added
I have known a few people named Willow. The most memorable was a girl I was friends with in school. She was one of three children. Their names were Noah Ocean, Willow Joy, and Ivy Lily. Last name? Wheat. Not so much bogan as hippie.
That should be considered as child abuse
Mir’cle
Nyshelle
And I would just like to point out, much to my chagrin and disappointment, that however the parent intends the child’s name to be pronounced is correct. My name is Arielle. Airy-L not REL or Airy-ul. On the other hand my daughter’s name is Cecily, like sess-il-E. Yet people still pronounce it Siss-il-E or seess-eel-E. Ugh. If I was aiming for those I would have done sicily, cicely, or cecely.
A lot of people are going for khaleesi. Someday I will cry when I meet the first person that named their daughter renesmee. I dislike the whole Kayden, Jayden, Hayden fiasco going on. Who really wants their kids to be one of a million Emmas or Abigails, I personally am okay with uncommon names, but don’t just take a perfectly good name and tinker with the spelling until you end up with alixzandre.
i work with an alice and she stands out.not too many of them.i would never dare sing to her who the fuck is alice lol.
Pajama… Pah-zha-may.
And shame on anyone naming their child Charnel. Anyone besides me know what a charnel-house is?
I have some rellies (that I don’t actually know) who named their daughter after the ship that a common ancestor travelled on; problem is that I’m convinced they misread the name “Galacia” as “Salacia” and named the girl beginning with the S. I don’t think that’s a very nice thing to call your daughter!
Came across a great bogan name today……”Jessiikarh”.
So elegant.
Jessiikarh!?! wtf!
Love this bogan bugger up, “Xzavier”!
When I questioned the spelling, the mother told me, “I wanted to put the “X” in Xavier”.
I pointed out to her that the “X” is pronounced as a “Z” in Xavier. She hesitated, then asked, pronouncing the “X”, as an “X”, “What about Saint Xavier?”. I replied that the “X” in Xavier has never been pronounced as an “X”. With a horrified, and sheepish look on her face, she simply said, “Oh”, and had nothing more to say. Clearly, it pays to check pronunciation before trying to “jazz up” traditional names, lest people realise you’re a bogan by your name, before they’ve even met you.
Zxathian
How is that pronounced?
saw a notice in a community paper recently for a nice Jewish girl whose middle name is St. Clair. With the dots.
I know a man whose middle name is “T” just the letter T.
Yes, “Ice T”
Yiddish is a major source of boganism. “Bethel”, “Jasson”, “Josh”.

My sister is a nurse in Brisbane – and they keep a little diary at the nurses’ station and enter the most “unusual” names that have been handed out to poor innocent souls.
She reckons the best one yet is “Car-ian”.
Now… that didn’t seem that bad – then she told me that the parents pronounced the little girls name “Cardashian”.
Some of the names aren’t bad, just badly spelled or poor choice for your kid. Calcypher was from Howl’s Moving Castle which is a sign that some bogans do appreciate more than ciggy butts and broken Corona bottles. Boadicea is a cool name though and I 100% support that as a name because she was a bad motherfucker who gave the Romans hell up until they captured her.
that’s hilarious but kind of neat
How about AYMEE??? 😱
I’m very surprised and confused by your inclusion of the name, “Elodie”.
It is spelt in the conventional (Fr.) way.
thankyou so much I found the most beautiful name for my two twins named Tequila-sunshine and Acid
Soon, “FAQ” will be a bogan name. Yes, all in capitals.
My niece’s name is Briella Margarette……..so ashamed!
What about the name “Its like yeah” or “Oh derr”. So quintessentially bogan.
You left out Beryl, and worse; Berylene.
Jaykob
Jakob
Tyrone
Daisy
Haydee
Brooke
Hitler
Ralph
Clint
Dick
And more are bogan
I reached the bottom!
