Totally outing myself but I have to share...

A little girl has joined DD's nursery.
Her name is CUPCAKE.

I suppose it is nicer than Fishfinger, or Potato.

(Oh. If the mum is a Mumsnetter: Hello mum of Cupcake!
So...
... cough...
...Are you going to the summer fair on Saturday? :))

How unique!

How......sweet

I don't know whether to do or !

Maybe her mum was a strawberry shortcake fan when she was a child :)

I'm kinda like......hmm that's unique

Then the other part of me is saying....... That's got to be the pregnancy hormones

Pretty name for a little girl. But a woman?

And it probably isn't on the birth certificate.
But, it is still just silly.

Cupcake.

I don't know. I'm just thinking "Surely that isnt on her birth certificate" but people are mad aren't they? So maybe it is!

Oh for goodness sake.

What next a lemon drizzle, or fairy cake?

How dare you sneer at my daughter's name on here

(just kidding, it's not me!)

Definitely her name and not a term of endearment?

I wouldnt like my name to be Cupcake. What sort of NN would you have? Cup? Cuppy? Cuppa? Cakey-Cake? Baby Cake?

It's on all the stuff, register, pegs, message boxes...
Cupcake Jones (but not Jones).

I did feel it would be too gossipy / sneering to ask the staff. I don't think I could keep the incredulity out of my tone of voice.

Maybe I'll try to spot the parent, and start a conversation.

Cuppa is a nice nickname actually! Hmm. It is growing on me.

I hope she doesnt become diabetic.

I likes it. I want to be called cupcake. CALL ME CUPCAKE!!

Oh my.

It doesn't really pass the high court judge test, does it.

We should start a new thread for sibling names

Muffin
Doughnut
Tart
Brownie

Vol-au-vent would have been more edgy

It has to be a nickname. Isn't it? Poor child. Surname Baker?

Maybe its just a nickname that all her family and friends call her. Her proper name could be Charlotte Elizabeth.

Tch, how un-zetigeisty.

Cupcakes are so 2010. The child should be called Le Macaron or Whoopie Pie at the very least. Oh wait, does that make me sound very 2011?

Brilliant!

If I have any more, i'm going to go for chip, rich fruit, pecan pie or krispy kreme

2012 got to be chocopop! Butterfly bun or french fany would be fun.

Amazed at how polite everyones being!
