Mumsnet Talk

DD is 3.7 and has been playing mummies today. Apparently she has 2 babies.

The boy is called Egg-in-a-cup and the girl is called Ice-cream-in-a-cone.

The poor dears will be bullied mercilessly. And clearly they'll be held back by these names, I mean they're hardly the names of a doctor or a lawyer.

AIBU?

After saying 'Egginacup' to myself a few times I've actually decided that I like it.



'Icecreaminacone' may never catch on though......

It's fine, all you have to do is persuade her to translate them into something fashionable, like Japanese or Pitjantjatjara when they reach school age. Then everyone will just say 'Oh, how original'

God, no wonder you're embarrassed. Egginacup is SUCH a chav name and Icecreaminacone...pff. She'll never be taken seriously.

My dd had twins- Lucy and Boggly.

Dd's doll is called Hazlenut. I rather like it!

YABU she has a good theme going on there. May I suggest her inserting an 'organic' before her surname,

It could have been worse - Fried egg bap and Jammy Dodger

DS3's bear is called EddyTeddySnuffleBug.

Both names would be so much better with some creative spelling. How about Aig'eena-Kaap and Ai'skreem-eena'koan? She could then shorten both to Ai.

Ai Ai, come over here!

Doesn't it look pretty? Egg in a cup.

You think you have problems; my nephew (3) wanted me to call my daughter 'hard' :/

Egg-in-a-cup makes me think he'd be a tad smelly
Ice-cream-in-a cone... urm... people would assume you're cold before talking to you!

You have my sympathies

Vermicious, I like it!

Oops, it copied beautifully in Thai script, but MN is obviously very conventional.

When I was young, we had a paper boy called fizzbalong foostie jam roll. His nickname was fizz

I used to teach an egg-in-a-cup and ice-cream-in-a-cone they were horrendous.

I feel for you.

When I was expecting ds, dd1 (about 20 months at this convo) decided that "Bagpuss" was a nice name for a baby (this is 11 years ago!).

Funny enough he brought her a bagpuss toy when he was born. But we preferred "Aidan" for our ds!

Beautiful! I was allowed to choose my brother's middle name and it's Matthew. After Matthew Corbett as my parents couldn't ring themselves to agree with Sooty.

Btw egg in a cup is my favourite breakfast. Great choice JPD's dd!

Florries please tell me that's true.

My friend says she knows someone whose daughter's name is pronounced Egg-in-a-Cup. But it's spelled Le-a.

DD's daughters have very sensible names (Ella and Sophie). Her sons are Pineapple and Porcupine.

DS is proud daddy to Cuddly-Blue-Eyes. Classy huh.

lets hope she does not leave them face down in the bath like ds does...

My daughter was into old lady chic way before its time.

Her favourite doll (who still is in her bed now she is 17) is Peggy.

Lower division dolls were called Iris and Phyllis.

Well, my 3.5 year old's baby girl doll is called Roger. Poor thing.

I asked her if they baby was now a boy - no it is definitely a girl - just named Roger.

my sis had a teddy called Keith
