When my mum was younger she had a boyfriend called Joseph. Her name is Mary and she said the sniggers and jokes were one of the reasons they broke up.

Don't do it. Please

Adam is a lovely name... But no, you can't.... It is too silly, sorry.

Perhaps Aaron? Or Eben? Or Evan?

AnaisB · 14/10/2011 16:15

no - sorry!

Do I have to say it?

MamaLazarou · 14/10/2011 14:53

Sorry, no.

No, if I met an Evie and Adam, I might start giggling inappropriately.

FessaEst · 12/10/2011 23:34

Nope!

MelinaM · 12/10/2011 23:31

Absolutely not! No, no and no again!

Adam is lovely, but not with Evie as a siblingSmile

Aw I sympathise greatly, I have a ds 7 who is called Adam and desperately wanted to call my dd Evie but as soon as I mentioned it to anyone they burst out laughing so decided against it. We did find another name we loved tho. Adam is a fabulous name tho

Sorry, not a good idea.

How about Aaron, Aidan, Daniel, Abraham (Abe), Eli, Liam?

No don't do it.

Both lovely names but I don't think you can do them together really...sorry!

StetsonsAreCool · 12/10/2011 22:24

No. Sorry.
