Barking mad.

Just sounds like An Enemy.

No, please don't

Barking (sorry!)
I agree it can be difficult for some to pronounce so a nick name would be inevitable.

HelenRosie · 30/10/2010 20:02

Go for it then, as long as you both like it who cares what anyone else thinks?

I like flowers, my husband likes sea creatures. I thought it could be the perfect compromise Grin

I'd only heard of sea anemone but upon googling discovered that it is also the name of a flower. I guess a flower name could be pretty, the sea creature less so.

Mad!

It's one of those words that a number of people have difficulty pronouncing. Fine because not a word one needs to use often, but as a name - no way.

Mad!
