A friend of mine from high school is having a girl.
The name they have picked out is Berklie Keragan.
WDYT??

In many parts of the English speaking world, the word 'berk' is an insult much like dork. To me, that name is like Dorklie. Keragen (spelled 'Kerrigan') is the name of the most famous bogan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogan) family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castle_%28film%29) in the world.

That name in Australia would make people laugh themselves to death. Indeed, I may have already ruptured something just now.

Berk is actually rhyming slang for something much more offensive. Berkely Hunt...

It's actually Berkshire (pronounced Barkshire, even though berk's as you would expect.) Hunt, but yeah, rhyming slang...
