Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Hi *not keen on fish* ,i get a mixed reaction to be honest,i find young people tend to like it,also men seem to always comment on what a "cool" name it is.

All of your names go. Also know boys called Josh/Joshua with brothers called Dominic, Oliver, Jacob, Charlie, Sam, Joseph.

I don't get this business of siblings names having to "go together". They are individuals in their own right, their names don't need to match!

don't think I am - lol.

I used Alexander as a middle name - not because I especially liked it but because I wanted a vowel name, and ds1 is Andrew.
Isn't naming children a funny thing!

Chasingsquirrels - are you me?? (Look at my post of 10:04:44) grin

I used Jake as a middle name for DS2 in the end.
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Tue 30-Jun-09 15:17:53
Actually, with my Josh I wanted Jacob/Jake - but didn't want two J names and they are quite similar sounding.
So we have a Toby - hence my original post.
Not sure I actually like the name Toby as a fav, but Josh chose it and I only had a girls name anyway, and after a few days it stuck.
He wouldn't be anyone else now!

But what would without being too predictable e.g. Jack?

To post a message you need a valid mumsnet nickname and password. If you have forgotten your nickname, click here for a reminder. If you are not yet a member of mumsnet, you can join here.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]

For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]
For a I have nothing to say on this matter face, , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
