WanderingTrolley · 15/05/2008 23:08

Oh yes.
How unusual.

Peaseblossom? And then if you have a boy, why not go for Snout?

BreeVanderCampLGJ · 15/05/2008 23:09

I truly hope you are joking.

My mother is right, there should be a law against parents saddling their children with names that are best an affectation and at worst 100% pure self indulgence.

BreeVanderCampLGJ · 15/05/2008 23:10

Locust

Centipede

Pondskater

Slug

Snail

Carpet Beetle.

Call her Cock for short.
Important to break down gender stereotypes and all that.

Really really don't like Moth, but there again, I have a bad phobia about small flying things like, err... moths......... so it doesn't conjure up good images for me.

Quite like Carpet Beetle... I think that's really quite appropriate.... Less common than Rug Rat............

woodlouse (woody for short) for a boy...

PosieParker · 15/05/2008 23:14

Moth is a nocturnal thing, not really associated with anything positive, so no I don't like it.

Amapoleon · 15/05/2008 23:14

I'm getting fed up of these silly name threads.

DefinitelyNotMARINAWheeler · 15/05/2008 23:15

Witchety Grub

BreeVanderCampLGJ · 15/05/2008 23:15

If you are not impressed by Cockroach try this ............

Cockchafer Grub

Spidermama · 15/05/2008 23:15

I would steet you away from Moth because she might get called Moth the Goth or Frothy Moth.

How about Cockchafer?
