Lazy-Heffalump

[SlightlySuperiorPeasant]

For a DD?

Pros:

• descriptive
  
• accurate
  
• unique
  
• relieves my feelings of intense fed-upness
  

Cons:

• chavtastic hyphen, but that's easily solved
  

Thoughts please? Baby due last Saturday.

[WheresMyCow]

I like it, but maybe perhaps better as a nickname

[Naghoul]

I think that's your problem right there.

You need a slippy slidey name Slithery.

Something like Louge.

[SlightlySuperiorPeasant]

AFAIK Slithery is already taken. I don't like common names.

[Hedwig3]

Great name but there are loads around already.

Nice names always become really common.

Could use it for a boy, though, to be quirky.

[hgrin]

[scentednappyhag]

I think you should spell it Lay-zeigh though, if you want to be really unique. Who wants their child to be one of five Lazys in a class at school?!

[InkleWinkle]

Sorry, I'm not sure if that's a boy's name or a girl's?

If its a girl's you could shorten to Heffa?

[Snowflakepie]

Liking your thoughts there. May I offer Grumpychops-fartypants, which we should have named DD as it suits her so perfectly now but only came to us after she was registered with a boring old top 10 name.

[littlebubbalove]

I love it!! But wouldnt your DD get teased at school? Because of winnie the poo and Heffalump?? I dont know its your call xx

[squoosh]

What about Psnot-Oooze? (the p is silent)

[SlightlySuperiorPeasant]

We did looked at the Winnie the Poo connection and considered Wurzel for a while as it's less well known but Heffalump has such a special meaning for us we don't want to lose it.

Good points on the spelling, thanks for all the inputs.

How about:

Lei-Zi Heffalump

or does Lay-Z Heffalump look better? I like the Jay-Z connection too.

[SlightlySuperiorPeasant]

Snowflake how old is your DD? If she's under 1 you can still change it very easily.

Thanks for the suggestion squoosh but I think adding silent letters is setting DD up for a lifetime of misery having to correct people all the time.

[Dogsmom]

I like it but couldn't use it as it'd cause confusion with the post if she had the same name as my husband.

[SlightlySuperiorPeasant]

:o

[thegreylady]

Lay-Z sounds like an armchair.I would make it Leah-Zee so she can shorten it if she wants to.Heffalump good mn though...nn Effie.

[Kittykatmacbill]

Just plain brilliant [hgrin] you should definitely call by only that name until she is at least 40

[mimmymouse]

Like it! We're a week overdue. Our current favourite name: Tardy.

[amck5700]

pity it's not a boy and you could have had Leight-un.

[EarnestDullard]

Ooh greylady, I like Effie but wasn't keen on Euphemia. Didn't think of Heffalump. Hmm, DH is going to register her birth next week..

[HorridHeffalumpsWickedWoozles]

IMO Heffalump is a wonderful name [hwink]

May I also suggest Hurry-the Jeff Up, or perhaps Gettout Before Ipulluout.

Seriously considered similar variants for my two extremely tardy DDs as we approached 43 weeks.

Hope you get some activity soon :)

[SlightlySuperiorPeasant]

Tardy! You are an absolute genius. What a lovely, beautiful name! Timeless, classic, elegant. Love, love, love it. Can I steal it?

[AntsMarching]

May I point out that Jefa (pronounced Heffa) in Spanish means boss. I think your dd has proven that to be true, so it is a very apt name

[Heifer]

like it, but surely it should be

Lazee-Heifer-Lump

double hyphen not so chavtastic

[GurlwiththeFrothyCurl]

Or you could go with the new trend of using random apostrophes:

L'Z H'Fa L'mp

[hgrin]

[mathanxiety]

The hyphen has to go.

[mimmymouse]

Slightlysuperior: Tardy is all yours! Still waiting here too....
