Vital question. Grandmothers interfering!

[L4j4eva]

Which would you say is the most auspicious name? Wretched grandmothers interfering.

Mowgli, montezuma or mungo?

And how many guide parents is usual. I can't decide and dh is a wet fish in all these things.

Mowgli? Really?

Blimwy your taste needs reining in a bit.

My mum made a face at stella , greta & phoebe. I still love them. She'd have got used to them i guess.

Mungo (sniff)

Are you trying to choose one to tell them you're using to freak them out or get them to stop making suggestions or something? Because any of the above would be fine.

Mowgli was the original choice, stick with it! These provincial types will never understand!

(Secret handshake)

But if you go with mowgli there is a danger he could repeatedly make the same mistakes.
Why not look into the numerology around the names?

dear god, poor child.

Mowgli. Classic.

Is this a joke thread? Because those are surely joke names, apart from Mungo if you're Scotish. Montezuma? Really? Have you never heard of Montezuma's Revenge?

Mowgli, go for it. Neil and Chris love it. And could you get up for the odd night feed?

I prefer Baloo......

montezuma. As in montezuma's revenge, aka the shits?

Go with that one. That's the best one. That'll really shut them up

They'll be so relieved when you reveal the real name that they won't say a word.

If it's good enough for Chris then it's got to be Mowgli

I thought of
"In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find ...."

dum de dum de dumty dum, dumpy dumpety dum!

Though I must say I quite like Mungo! Though would I want my next grandson to be called this, well I am not sure. ??

Please don't call your child any of those names

I went to Uni with a Mungo. Also had a mate nicknamed Monty Zoomer, so I think Mowgli..

I don't think she is.

Judging by the grandparent interference part of her post, I think these names are what she's telling the grandparents the child will be named, to wind them up.

I get the reference!

What's been happening this week? Have had visitors and a poorly DS so haven't heard a single one!

Oh, and I think Mowgli too.

Ha love them all! Certainly too urban for the villagers to 'get'

another one here who thinks of in the summertime
High court judge rule, people! Put Mowgli as a middle name. How about Kim? No pronounciation squabbles and a Kipling ref.
Kim Mowgli
maybe we'll get an update from OP through other channels shortly?

You need to make sure you are pronouncing Mowgli correctly; it should rhyme with Cow.

Toadsrevisited. it's been a very exciting week in Ambridge. You can catch up over here.

Leonie L4j4eva, what does James your DP say? I second the suggestion that you look into the numerology of the name, btw. You may find that James your DP is a 5, though, as your DMIL has suggested, so maybe don't take that too seriously.

L4J I think you've been outed. There was a suspicious sniff up thread that sounds awfully like your step mums hay fever.

Thinking of you but I think you need to disappear for a bit or they'll all be here.

Remember if it's good enough for the pet shop boys......
