YDI for not being named after pizza
Shirley Temple?

this is stupid. not an fml.
Kilkenny
favourite is British favorite is American
Stupid Americans. Favourite is British. Favorite is American.
You're an idiot. Did you not consider that the OP is English, and therefore spells it with a 'u' (making it correct)?
british people write it like that
Favorite is not misspelled, it depends on where you live. Some countries people are taught to use the letter U in some words. Such as favourite, colour, honour.
the op is from the uk, so how can some miss spell favourite, which is the correct English.
Bawls? Rockstar? welchs 100% juice? 2% milk? monster?
56- Shut up. Just because one person, who happens to be American, is ignorant, doesn't mean we all are. So stop stereotyping.
Then you should apologise to the OP for accusing him/her of spelling stuff wrong.
is your name Harvey wallbanger?
jack daniels? sam adams?
Creme isn't English, it's just the French word for cream
#41 OP didn't spell Favorite wrong. There's a difference between American and British English. In American English, it's "Favorite" and in British English it's "Favourite"
I don't know, I'm American and I believe a majority of our population is ignorant to the rest of the world. just saying. case in point, the doumb ass that corrected the op's spelling.
CAN WE PLEASE, for the love of all that is good in the world; 1) Acknowledge that people in different parts of the world spell things differently. 2) Realise that people also make typos. 3) Read previous post before saying the same thing as dozens of other people. 4) Google first, then post. 5) Accept that there are stupid people everywhere, not just in America and that you can't judge an entire country by Internet user comments anyway. I have a friend who named her kid Jack Daniel. I died a little on the inside when I found out.
I saw someone in the paper who named her child Tia Maria =[ The mother was about 15 >
Elusive? You mean British people are hard to comprehend and define? Or that we evade pursuit a lot?
I'm fairly certain that's not what elusive means.
jack? damn anti flood!!!
Umm.. So? I might name my daughter "island" after the long island iced tea and she better not complain!!
I would, if I was called Island. How about giving kids real names?
I know someone who named his son Alexander Keith.
he wrote in uk english...different to usa english
sex on the beach
******?
not all Americans r stupid u ignorant bitch.
Thats how the spell it in europe. Like colour. same thing.
I bet it's "brandy"
from UK, so they spelled it their way.
137- his use of elusive is right. if British people elude a conversation, they escape notice in a conversation. about the argument: it's all because of Nancy. OP- FYL hard buddy. who names their kid after a drink??
#41 that's the British way to spell favorite. Who's the retard now?
i'm srry is this supposed to be an FML?
breast milk
41 you are a closed minded bigot who ****** up and is now trying to cover for it by exposing your racist tendancies, and is now looking even stupider - not all Americans are stupid, but it's people like you who perpetuate the stereotype, and it's unfair on the rest of the fine American people here (especially Jessie :)) oh, and your photo makes you look like a tryhard ****** oh, and Australians also spell it colour :) have a nice day, douche
Brandy
amen , 119
In the UK we spell favourite with a u. We also spell realise without a z, and pronounce lieutenant differently. Isn't life fascinating?
134 what about us Aussies?
192- calling someone a bigot AND a ****** in the same comment is a bit counterproductive. Also, "stupider" is not a word. Anywho OP, what exactly is in an "Anonymous?" PS, how do people in the UK pronounce lieutenant?
dum-dum 41. the brits spell it differently. like, Color and Colour.
41 that's how you spell it in like Canada and uk
in normal language "center" is spelt centre
That's how they spell it in the UK dumbass.... OP hopefully it's a good name!
British spelling of favorite, totally acceptable.
it's how English people spell it. the proper way, might I add... dumb American.
#126 looks life a fag anyways
Be happy your dad's favorite drinks isn't Bawls
Favorite can be spelled as "favourite" in the UK. Duh.
i have a cousin named Bud lol...
41: In Canada, we spell favourite with a "U" after the "O" It is proper Canadian English. We also spell "Colour" in the same manner
#153 my sons name is Evan Williams. so is that not a real name because it is also a brand of whiskey?
WE GET IT! BRITISH SPELLING IS DIFFERENT FROM AMERICAN SPELLING! STOP SAYING IT FFS!!1!
dick head 'favorite' is actually spelt 'favourite' in australia and probably a few other countries, google it next time coz now you look like a stupid ******
I'm with #90, Harvey Wallbanger was the first thing to come into my head.
no, actually, that's the British/Canadian way to spell it. just saying.
Not just English people, Aussie's use u in lots of words too, I just found out today, apparently we spell it, 'realise' instead of 'realize' stupid iPhone teching me to spell wrong for my country :P I found out when my boss was correcting the spelling on my resignation... fail and is your name Beer? :D
78- translation: I speak american English not English (being as technicaly it is their language) so all in all yes you were right your not an english teacher!!!!!!! jk :P
lol it would be funny if his name was beer and btw Kobe Bryant was named after Kobe streak, so don't feel too bad :)
124- lol sry but my kid would probably be lemonade :P oh and why hasn't anyone caught on 2 this in soviet Russia you are not named after drink drink is named after you!!!!
Bailey?

I wanted to reply to the post that said "Shirley temple" and had to scroll down a million pages because you idiots are arguing over something as stupid as spelling ! :( BOOO!!!!
you morons, her name is margaritta.
vodka? wiskey? virgin magarita!!!???
heineken?! ohh yum. haha, or mike? for mikes hard lemonade... :p
"Favourite" is correct in both Canada and the UK. I know because I'm Canadian and a huge stickler when it comes to grammar and spelling :p
awww means he loves you enough to name you after his favorite drink your probably the favorite child also to be named after something so special to him ;) cheer up OP could have been worse
haaaaaa
cum??
Thanks for the tea, it was a lovely party...
her name is probably captain Morgan.
41- u fool they isn't American so their is a 'u' in favourite
Not to be the science teacher or anything, but the world revolves around the moon, not America.
actually, america misspelled favourite. I'm an Australian, and we use British English. And we are right.
So is the name Blatz or Cosmo?
334, i think you'll find the earth goes round the sun, not the moon - you are definitely not a science teacher!
121- picture ftw, tool is epic I think your name is "orange drink"?
105 I love you. jäger rocks!!!
124- that is awesome. anyways... sex on the beach?
people shut the **** up we get it's how ******* Brits, Aussies, and Canadians spell. and proper yea right. every country has a right and wrong way of spelling. at certain places in America it is considered wrong to spell words like realize as realise and color as colour. now ******* end it. also not all Americans are dumb but we are smart enough to go to the dentist when our teeth look messed up...
Wow 350, you claim not all Americans are dumb and then go on to insult the entire UK. Most Americans are smart, so I'm guessing you're the exception that proves the rule? The teeth comment is a little reductive. Maybe you can defend your country without insulting another one? Also I feel obligated to point out that due to the free dental and orthodontic care which is provided to low income individuals, most people have completely healthy teeth.
bailey?
they spelt it the British way. the proper way.
No his name is Semen Duh!
favo(u)rite can be spelt 2 different ways, moron.
Not to be the Geography teacher, but... not really. That's how they spell it in UK.
no. being a Canadian website the op spelled it right. the word "favourite" is spelled lime that in canada
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
favourite is also used in Canada. fyi.
334 and IF: I lol'ed
Jack daniels is that you?
or goose....grey goose

#13 ^ EPIC WIN
Favourite and favorite are pronounced the same way :P
41- talking about "English" teachers, "favourite" is how ur supposed to spell it, but Americans suck
manhattan? that wouldn't be a terrible name
Actually, that is a correct spelling. A lot of words are spelled differently in the States.
the fml is from united kingdom...
kool aid?
no, that's your moms.
#8 = WIN.
Well that's lovely my mum found my. Razors that I haven't used for a month and she thinks I'm still doing it and she's annoying me and now she's thoroughly cleaning my room searching for razors
41, thats how you spell it in Canada .
ur all retarded ppl trying to sound intelligent can we all agree on that?
America is quickly becoming the world's stupidest country. I can't remember where I heard that, though...
I'm confused by your lack of punctuation.... and the order of your words...
That's the English spelling of it
I bet your name is NeuroGasm.
Jack Daniels?
Favourite is also Canadian
Capri Sun is that you?

I was going to say OP's name was "Colt40"! hah racist joke (: btw #41 favourite is English(country)
WTF kinda name is grey goose?
In England there's a brewery called Harvey's. That's what our family dog was called- Harvey! I wouldn't be surprised if someone else preferred Harvey's beer too.
a damn good one if there is fifty shades of her
Guinness?
jäger!!!! ketel? heineken? 1800?
Juicy Juice. definitely.
Actually OP was named after the drink (Used Condom)... Coincidently that is also how OP came to be in this world as well.
Jack Daniels!!!!!
**** ?
unless it's a really stupid name. I know a girl that was named after her dad's favorite wrestler Dusty Rodes.
Poor gal..
My brother's friend was named Six because the last name of the family was Packobush or something spelt like that
I would hate to be named after a wrestler but dusty isnt a horrible name especially for a girl. I on the other hand was named after a guy with the surname of Banger. Yea.. I'm serious
Martin?
or gin
It could also be Mary, as in a bloody Mary
@11 are we naming Lost characters now?
Jack Daniels?
CoconutJuice?
Keywords
Bloody Mary!! Brandy Alexander? Are you asian? Mai Tai? Dr. Pepper? Tom Collins? Jolly Rancher? Jolly Roger? Tell me now!!! I'm all shaken!!! Not stirred...
Could be a good thing, depends on the drink.
