In saying twin girls called Chummy and Bonnie is a big no?

[KateUpton]

This is all light hearted, because of course I wouldn't repeat this to my friend, but I can't help but bloody feel for her girls!

No word of a lie, the girls are going to be called Chummy and Bonnie! AIBU to say these names are a bit.. Something?

[Oysterbabe]

Chummy?!

[KateUpton]

Oyster yes, she insists its a 'down to earth' name

[SaucyJack]

Are you about to dripfeed that they're Labradors?

[KateUpton]

They're twin HOMO SAPIEN girls

[OldBloodCallsToOldBlood]

SaucyJack, I came on this thread to say those names sound like dog food brands.

[OTheHugeManatee]

Is Chummy short for something? Cholmondelina perhaps?

[GinIsABreakfastFood]

Is your friend aware she's having daughters and not puppies?!

[KateUpton]

Afraid not, they're full names. I made the mistake of asking what they're short for, and I won't say what look I got in return

[Watto1]

I'm afraid that Miranda Hart and the Blue Peter dog spring to mind.

[janethegirl2]

I agree, nice names for labradors

[chantico]

I thought dog food brands too.

Is there any possibility you misheard? Especially the pedigree Chummy?

[YerTiz]

Chummy - wasn't that Miranda harts character in call the midwife?

[janethegirl2]

The only Bonnie I know is a golden retriever, and I know no Chummys

[MrsH1989]

I could get on board with Bonnie but Chummy? I have heard some equally bad names recently such as Bunty, Sunbeam and a friend who said she would call her son roast (if she ever had one). WTAF?

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Human girls called Chummy and Bonnie?!

Poor Chummy. At least she's got a support system from day one. She'll need it.

What are the parents like? Will Bonnie and Chummy have a good pedigree?

Ba-doom-tish.

[KateUpton]

I didn't mishear, and what's more, I know it's spelt like that because any posts about the twins includes their names [santa]

[Moonriver1]

Chummy is ridic. So Chummy from Call the Midwife, is it a pet name or a shortened/nick name? Sorry to be thick.

[janethegirl2]

Spit roast

[KateUpton]

MrsH lets hope her son isn't born on a Sunday

[VoldysGoneMouldy]

Chummy is ridiculous.

[MrsBobDylan]

Bonnie is cute, but Chummy...heavens!

[mrsleomcgary]

Bonnie isnt THAT unusual here in Scotland - it's not common but it wouldnt make anyone go ! But chummy sounds like a posh labrador,and the two together are bloody awful!

[YerTiz]

Moonriver it was a nickname, real name Camilla!
