I know they're popular, common etc but i'm a sucker for a pretty, conventional name...

(And DD's school isn't posh - just a local primary.)

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 06/04/2011 00:52

4 models go/went to DD's school and DD went for a casting - so they are 'real' peole not models, or at least quite a lot of them are.

DD's name isn't mentioned.

Why

Hmm
LynetteScavo · 05/04/2011 21:27

Yes, the real people were real people, if posh real people.

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 05/04/2011 21:27

Well, dd2's name AND the name I wanted to call her (and dp vetoed) appear frequently in this thread! I'm about as far from MC Boden as possible though, I think. :)

I love Isolde
Harriet
Elinor
Isobel

I must be boring!

LynetteScavo · 05/04/2011 21:26

Boden are obviously now using models, rather than friends as models, hence the Courtney/Kaylee thing.

I will have to point this out to my friend should she ever be pg again, as she tends to name her children using the Boden catalogue.

NotaMopsa · 05/04/2011 21:23

I don't think any of that particular list are middle class

Awww i used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the 'real' people models in Boden SO MUCH MORE FUN ( Johnnie you kill joy !)

There seem to have been loads of them in the very MC, 4x4 driving, Boden-clad kindergarten my boys attend(ed). We just stand out like a sore thumb Grin

...current catalogue seems a bit more of an eclectic mix than usual!

Oh dear you've got both of dd's names here and I was being (most unfairly since since they'd invited her to their party) a right snob yesterday

MardyBra · 04/04/2011 16:18

I think you've got most of DD's year group there (apart from DD)
