Mumsnet Talk

I wanted something meaningful to when my dc was conceived, do you think absinthe is suitable for a girl or a boy?

Yes, a wonderful choice for either gender. My dd is called Cinammon Aftershock. Congratulations and please let us know when little Absinthe is born.

My next dd will be called Sambucca.

see sambuca is nice for a girl but not great for a boy. Cinammon aftershock sounds likre a stripper name, you aren't really serious are you?

I have a Mojito and a Margarita. Margy for short as we weren't keen on Rita. Thought it was a little old fashioned.

margy and mo, I like that.

I've always been keen on Special Brew, lovely name.

Absinthe is a good choice. Abbie for short.
Or Sin.

I should have called DD Bloody Mary.

My two are WEst Coast Cooler Classic and West Coast cooler Rose

What about Perry?! Some stuffy people migth think it was short for Peregrine, but only the op would know it was an alcoholic drink. Clever huh?

Lovely. I have a Gewurtztramminer and a Rioja-Reserva myself

My twins are WooWoo and Cosmopolitan. Problem is, people assume Cosmo is a boy and that we're really posh.

course, it all sounds a little "chardonnay" for the new year.

Amurula is much more classy, or Bourbon (for a boy)

(but then they might think you'd named it after a (but not that one) and that would just be silly....

mine's ginette

I have a hankering after Bailey (if boy) or Tia Maria (if girl)

I swear to all things MN and holy that I know someone called Kaluha

mine would have to be called Smice or something equally classy!!!

Oh kaluha is nice (actually could just fancy a glass), adult or child?

Cherry B (and brother Perry). Both little duvels...

Kaluha & milk...mmmmmm

she'll be in her 20s now, a friend of my younger cousin

she was called this because her parents had been drinking it the night she was conceived - fortunately for her it wasn't mad dog 2020 or special brew

When i was little I called my doll Tia Maria (seriously) because I thought it sounded beeyooootiful. honestly. couldn't work out why my parents thought it was so funny.

I had a pony called Tico after what my mum was always drinking, I thought it was such a nice word. Still think Absinthe is a good name though. or how about Absolute?

actually DH was desperate to call dd1 Appletina, she was "made in Jamaica" after all.

my spanish cousins SIL is Maria so my spanish neice calls her Tia Maria you weren't that daft after all BellaBear!!
