Made-up name

OK, I don't want to give the actual name that I am thinking of (for a baby of either sex - due to be born in 2 weeks - eek!) but here is the formula/ problems:

Rhymes with two different names, one of each sex, so doesn't have an 'odd' ring to it.

Is not an actual name but is a word with positive associations - not a very long word BTW

Is not slang for anything nor the name of anything odd (as far as I can see from extensive google searches) - except for being the name of one (innocuous enough) body part in another language e.g. (but not) Japanese for elbow

I like the sound of it, I am sure that some friends will think it's an odd choice or even odd to make up a name but I don't like very popular names and this would have meaning for me.

What do you think - mad or brilliant?!

this thread is now much much more amusing now the op has stropped off left it....

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 22:49

Just the last three letters.

pixipie151 · 26/06/2012 22:48

Is it Rumplestiltskin?!

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 22:44

I think we are some kind of MNHQ Matrix type experiment.

ExitPursuedByABear · 26/06/2012 22:42

I can't remember what was in the deleted posts, but I am pretty damn sure I did not read anything on here that broke the guidelines.

MNHQ - Why the deletions? Please?

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 22:41

Our love child could be Binn Liner.

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 22:36

Spammer I think yo're onto something

Binn for a boy. Brabantia for a girl

spammertime · 26/06/2012 22:34

Is Ted Rogers another clue? Is the name actually Binn?

I love this thread now

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 22:27

Ted Rogers You is legend

LynetteScavo · 26/06/2012 20:17

Why did MN agree to delete those posts.

Does the OP work at MN towers? Hmm

WifiNappies · 26/06/2012 20:12

Lurking - Kinn rhymes with Finn and there is a type of fish called Finney Haddock I think

I believe the OP was Ted Rogers

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 19:54

Yeah, I can't understand the deletions either

I'm sure the OP could've taken it on the chin

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 19:15

Well, I do wish the OP all the best with that.

I can see why she'd want a pleasing name for either a boy or a girl. But maybe it's sometimes best to wait.

But I still don't understand the deletions. It was only a bit of fun, which I thought the OP was initiating with her 'Quiz.' Ah well.

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 19:01

She's not going to answer she's got a 2 week labour to go through yet!

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 19:01

Maybe the OP didn't report the posts. Maybe someone at MNHQ has a ickle babba called Kinn.

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:55

"Exotic" is entirely relative, as I think we have proved here :)

SunshineOutdoors · 26/06/2012 18:55

reported?

I didn't think the harsher posts were that bad considering the annoyingness of the thread. And op seemed ok with it all when she was replying and giving clues.

It was obvious we needed to know the name! Grin

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 18:54

It also means chin in Dutch

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:52

Just a question, but if Kinn means cheek in Norwegian, does it also mean arse cheek?

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:51

Bum.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/06/2012 18:48

Feck! Arse! Girls!
In case anyone wonders, I haven't lost the plot just checking what can get me deleted. Smile

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/06/2012 18:47

Drink!

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:47

oops in

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:46

Kinn also means "chin" in German

And is case anyone is asking my opinion, it's barking....

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 26/06/2012 18:28

Also my post was deleted asking a question I still want answered...

How is Moy close to Kinn? Confused not asking rudely I'm sure there is a correlation I don't get but not 'getting' these little things really grinds my gears.
