This thread turned horrible pretty quickly.

stretch · 08/07/2012 21:18

Ahem...enough with the Sarah bashing! Sarah means 'princess' doncha know Wink

MrsRhettButler · 08/07/2012 21:18

The first underaged girl I knew to get pg was called Rachel, what's your point?

A name means NOTHING! Wtf the Kizzie I know is married with three dc and just finishing Uni (I can't remember her course but its a 'clever' one)

usualsuspect · 08/07/2012 21:18

I know, MN has gone to the dogs, calling children trailer trash is never ever acceptable.

usualsuspect · 08/07/2012 21:17

I know a Charlotte that got pregnant at 15

stretch · 08/07/2012 21:16

Good god. Calling people, and kids, 'trailer trash'! WTF is this site coming to? Time was, people would make a nasty comment (chav/pikey etc) and be rightly rounded on, now lots are agreeing!

OP, tell your friend to name the baby whatever she pleases, just to think about the suitability as she grows, toddler/teen/adult/pensioner.

SugarBatty · 08/07/2012 21:16

You see, sarah equals teen pregnant slut! Who would have thought?

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 08/07/2012 21:14

Yes the first girl at my school to get pregnant was called Sarah.

Pretty silly though to think her name had any bearing on it.

usualsuspect · 08/07/2012 21:13

I know a Kizzy , shes at university now

SugarBatty · 08/07/2012 21:13

Hmmm I went to school with a sarah who was pregnant at 13. Hth

JammySplodger · 08/07/2012 21:13

I quite like Lily-May. Not quite so sure about the others in your op, I'm afraid. Will try and think of some more.

SugarBatty · 08/07/2012 21:12

Suggest khia-rose or tia-rose? The real world is not as snobby as mumsnet and that's where the child will be growing up thank god! Please don't tell her you hate her name choices, its likely she will choose them anyway. She will then know for a fact you hate her childs name. Children end up suiting their names most of the time anyway however strange they seem at first.

MrsRhettButler · 08/07/2012 21:12

Not that I think her choices are that bad, not keen on Jean though and think if she juggles the pairings they could sound nicer. Kizzi jean doesn't go but kizzi may is nice or kizzi leigh

UnnamedFemaleProtagonist · 08/07/2012 21:11

I went to secondary school with a Kizzy in the 80's. She was the first underage girl I knew who got pregnant. HTH.

MrsRhettButler · 08/07/2012 21:04

Mumsy you admited yourself that you mouth wtaf everytime you see her name but yet you are saying how sad it is that everyone judges when hearing her name. Which you do yourself. Why not stop judging?

I HATE mumsnet on threads like these.

Op, you asked for suggestions to give to her, Lila is lovely :)

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 08/07/2012 21:02

Calling kids trailer trash is really twatty!

Lily-may is a pretty common name, you might not like it (I don't either) but its hardly going to ruin someone's life.

MayaAngelCool · 08/07/2012 21:00

Aaargh, I meant ! It was also a jokey reference to the earlier mentioned twins. Grin

MayaAngelCool · 08/07/2012 20:59

OP, I love your choice of names. But your friend's? Good god. > But hell, why stop at a hyphen - why not add an apostrophe too?

For a middle name she could go for Yoo'nique/ U'neeq/ E'weneek/ Eew'nii'q. The possibilities are endless. It's a very popular name in the USA, ironically! Grin

Bunbaker · 08/07/2012 20:58

"The names are not that bloody bad at all!"

This is a wind up, right? Those names would really be considered trailer trash round here.

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 08/07/2012 20:56

I don't think this thread is a true representation of real life. The names are not that bloody bad at all!

wigglesrock · 08/07/2012 20:54

Nope, I don't judge babies to be "trashy" - wtf - on their names or funny enough on anything! and I don't judge a womans intelligence on what she calls her child.

usualsuspect · 08/07/2012 20:52

AS i said , only twats will judge and who gives a shit what they think.

Bunbaker · 08/07/2012 20:51

You are right wiggles, but unfortunately the responses on here will probably mirror what people in RL will think of the names anyway.

wigglesrock · 08/07/2012 20:49

Fuck this thread is horrible and I love baby names. Ps if you're not taking the piss and I have my doubts, here's hoping your friend doesn't use Mumsnet. You sound lovely and wanting to share your sneering at your friends name choices - even nicer.

VolAuVent · 08/07/2012 20:46

Lily May (without the hyphen)
