I have just had a baby and one of the babies in the ward with me was called Aladdin. Hideous! Another was called Jayzee - needless to say both mothers were teenagers trying to go for a different name.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

How funny - I have been reading Aladdin to DS this week and wondered to myself if anyone would call their son this. Better than Badroulbadou, his princess my DS says princess badoobedo.

Aladdin is a genuine, traditional Arabic name - I know quite a few guys called this. at you in your judgey pants. Tell us what you named your baby and see how you feel when we all go

clumsymumluckybaby · 24/01/2011 23:05

what did you call yours then?

WilheminaAteHer · 24/01/2011 23:04

Something like Aurelious.

What did Elle McP call hers? (nosey)

Hey, unfair comment against teenaged mums. I know several who've chosen lovely names for their kids. I can also think of adults we all know of who have decidedly not: Gwyn and Chris, Katie and Peter, Elle McP. Need I say more?

TheMonster · 24/01/2011 22:28

NO NO NO.

10/10.

QueenLaQueefer · 24/01/2011 22:28

Isn't it an actual Arab name?

ChippingInSmellyCheeseFreak · 24/01/2011 22:24

I'm beginning to think a list of permitted names isn't such a bad idea after all!

AmazingBouncingFerret · 24/01/2011 22:23

I quite like it. Laddie for short. Very Lost Boys.
