Plum

[hobbgoblin]

Bear in mind I am 12 days overdue and about to leave for my induction in the next couple of hours. I WILL defend fiercely.

I may also be a bit in labour so criticise at your peril. You hear that soupy?!

[FlappyTheBat]

Victoria?

[HolyGuacamole]

Hmmmmm. Not sure hobbgoblin. Where I come from, plum can be a bit of an insult - to say someone is a plum is to say they are silly or daft......

No offense though

Good luck with the birth!!!

[BonsoirAnna]

Plum is a nickname for Victoria.

[PlumBumMum]

Of course I think its a superb name

[Mintyy]

I quite like it. But, really, only if you are very very posh.

(good luck btw! )

[MovingOutOfBlighty]

Good luck with the baby.

But fgs please make Plum short for something. It is a cute nickname or shortening but your dear LO is going to grow up to be 50 one day and unless you want her to stride about all day in Joules clothing, braying at her horses I think it is a very odd name.

[Overmydeadbody]

I think as a nickname it is fine.

As a real name it would be a bit cruel. What if she grows up to be rather short and dumpy? It would be too cruel.

[cheesesarnie]

i love it

[VinegarTits]

God no, are you delarious?

Good luck with the birth

[Astrophe]

nup. It doesn't sound namey, in the way that some nouns can. And rhymes far to easily with bum, which wont be a good thing.

[shonaspurtle]

Call her Victoria and use Plum for a nickname.

Plum is used to mean daft round here as well - "you plum" (not you)

[Marthasmama]

When I was at school, plum was another name for testicle. Ahhh, look at baby Bollock.

[Deemented]

You've been watching too much Balamory, haven't you?

[hobbgoblin]

I could re-visit Velvet from another thread of mine and combine?

[ExpositionDesMains]

A Velvet Plum is definitely a bollock.

Plum round these here parts is a fool/somebody a bit silly.

Victoria Plum rocks though.

[hobbgoblin]

SoH, is it really? Woudl Plum Velvet avoid the association?

Plum is bollock, Velvet is fanjo related. What is wrong with me and the genitalia fixation I wonder..?

I could do Victoria Plum, but is a bit waaaaaaay out possible.

[Tinker]

I quite like it As a word, it's lovely. In late, overdue pregnancy I toyed with Cherry (as a middle name ) again.

[MovingOutOfBlighty]

I think Plum is simply a 'shortening' for Victoria.
Depends on whether you like Victoria.
I have a long name that I am not that keen on for my DD so I could have the shortened version but the long one as back up just incase she hated it one day.

[abitclueless]

I like it. Good luck

[ExpositionDesMains]

I do like it acksherly. I know two Cherrys in rl Tinker, one has a sister named Brandy.

My only reservation is that 'Plum' to me means fool.

Know of a baby Japonica born recently. That would fit your genitalia fixation when abbreviated.

[MamaLazarou]

Awful, awful, awful, for so many reasons.

[Thunderduck]

It's awful.

[suwoo]

I actually really like it. It is very posh though.

Good luck

[SouthMum]

No, never. Plum = bollock.
