Did anybody see Tuppence Harmony in the UK birth announcements yesterday?

[MadameCh0let]

Whaddyall think? Lovely alternative to Florence or is it bl00dy awful?

I don't absolutely hate it. I've heard worse. Penny is a possible nn.

Actually, I object more to the middle name, Harmony.

[cluckyagain]

I rather like it....and I'm quite surprised at myself for saying so!!

[talkingmongoose]

isn't it a fairly common euphemism for, a, erm, front bottom?

[SquonkForgotHerEasterName]

I want to dislike it.

But I do quite like it if I'm honest.

[TotalChaos]

exactly my thoughts talkingmongoose!

[WanderingTrolley]

It's a bit close to tuppence ha'penny.

[WanderingTrolley]

She will have self esteem ishoos because she is damn near worthless.

2p.

I ask you.

Silly name.

[talkingmongoose]

Oh thanks, chaos, I was wondering if I'd imagined it!

[NomDePlume]

Tuppence was what my Mum called ladyparts when I was a kid. I think it must be a Northern thing (Manchester) as I've never heard it elsewhere

[MadameCh0let]

I've never heard front bottom refered to as a tuppence.

I am picturing a 1920's flapper girl, you know, charleston costume, feather in her head band, long cheroot in her very slim gloved hand.

I should hate it, but like some of you I don't.

She'll be worth twice as much as Penny though.

[stanleysmother]

Tuppence is definitely a northern name for the fanoir!

[beansprout]

I was brought up in London, and my fanjo was called a ha'penny. So much for London Weighting!!

a child I looked after had tuppence as their family word for poo

[VictorianPASqualor]

Tuppence will work in a bird sanctuary a la Mary Poppins.

[WanderingTrolley]

I rather fear she will be a strumpet.

[BettySpaghetti]

We came across a girl called Tuppence -some days later DD (after talking to a friend who obviously enlightened her, as its not a term we use) giggled and said "but Tuppence is what your front bum is called"

I also know of a woman called Harmony.

Of the two names I definitely prefer Harmony.

[BroccoliSpears]

I would love the name if it weren't a euphamism.

[peachygirl]

My fanjo was known as a tuppence too. (midlands term)

[Heated]

Wasn't there an Agatha Christie husband & wife investigating duo called Tuppence and Tommy Beresford? She had the brains.

[expatinscotland]

For real? Tuppence?

I sang in a choir with a girl called Harmony once. She was lovely. Her parents were 1970s hippies and the name suited her well.

[Disenchanted]

Its a fanny, a harmonious fanny.

Bad name.
