Well it’s memorable!
Suggest Margaret Pink as an alternative!

I'm guessing they're doing the "tell everyone a ridiculous name so they stop asking and don't criticise the real name" thing.

Other names on the shortlist :
Lily Pink
Violet Pink
Rose Pink

I don’t think they’re thinking this through very well.

Cerys?

That is just pink pink really.
Although I suppose middle names are rarely used.

Pink is the surname. Which is totally outing now I realise. But they think Cerise would be sweet purely because of the surname.
