Just heard this on the radio, and remembered that when I was pg with DD1 DH wanted to put this on the list along with Anna-Molly (incubus song)

Do you think you could get away with Enola? Or does it bring up the song plus the atom bomb?

I knew I was right when I said that to DH, glad it wasnt put on the list is there any other names like this?

He still loves Anna -Molly (anamoly) theres no way you could call a child this but he thinks its cool. I will not let him call the next one this.

Disease.

Sounds like a disease to me. Quite an ugly name anyway IMO.

First thoughts: Manics song Enola/Alone, followed by Gay, followed by bomb.

Bomb here too, sorry.

Bomb here too - and gay's not great for the playground either.

Beamur · 20/09/2011 13:30

I would think of the bomb too, plus Enola sounds a lot like Ebola - also not nice! Sorry.

It immediately makes me think of the bomber,and that's a horrible thing to have associated with one's name.
It's not a nice name even without that connotation imho.

First thing I though of was the song & atom bomb. But I'm 'of an age'.
