Velveteen - cool, cruel or just mental

A friend of a friend is slightly obsessed with the name Velveteen for a girl.

I can't figure out what I think about it - on one hand the name Velvet does seem kinda boho and pretty but on the other it's reminisant of a stripper. Grin

Whats your opinion on it?

Pregnancy hormones have much to answer for.

Indeed. And bleeeeee!

Hmm. Cheese. Soft loo roll. Getting sentimental over rabbits. Velly rhymes with Smelly, Jelly and Belly. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Isn't that the name of a cream cheese in the States??Hmm

Habbibu · 03/09/2010 21:12

What's that American fake cheese? Velveeta? That's what comes to mine first. And then it's a bit like calling a child acrylic, or Polyester - basically not the real stuff.
