I'd appreciate it if someone could enlighten me,and perhaps provide a few examples,as I keep seeing it mentioned on this board.

Funny I think of mumsnet names as traditional and popular names like

Jack Owen Daniel

or
Lily Emily Jessica

Thankfully (for me, obviously not for mumsnet) I'm a commoner when it comes to names. Seem to only like really popular names. How terrible of me Wink

Isn't it weird that even with all the thought that goes into choosing a name these days you are always influenced by what's popular or 'edgy' even if you try really hard to avoid trends.

I mean two Serens and two Xanders! Pretty funny.

In the past month (IRL, not online) I've had four friends / acquaintances give birth. Two girls called Seren and two boys called Xander. Mumsnet names.

Oops, I think I got a bit ambushed by pregnancy hormones yesterday! Blush

Still think your logic is wrong though, badgerina. If I've interpreted it too strictly, then you should explain how you actually meant it.

F'Ann-Jo

Shouldacouldawoulda · 12/07/2012 23:16

K'ordeeleighah-KrispeeKreme is top of my list.

Badgerina · 12/07/2012 23:03

Krispy Kreme Kardashian.

PrettyInDecadence · 12/07/2012 19:22

I'm surprised that Kordelia wasn't the next Kardashian name of choice :o

happyhorse · 12/07/2012 19:06

Inigo
Xanthe

Lolalollipop · 12/07/2012 19:00

Oh pleeeaaasssseee somebody have a Kordelia!!!! I can see mnetters squirming in their thrones! Grin

Oh totally agree with SteamingNit

Someone needs to explain what the big deal is with the name Kelly. I lived overseas for years so I may have missed any negative connotations to the name. I have a cousin called Kelly (the only Kelly I have ever met) and have often thought her name was kind of classic in a breezy 70's sort of way. Like Kirsty Smile but obviously according to posts on MN I've missed something Confused

Anything that provokes the response "LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT -
OH NO I'VE WET MY PANTS"

Badgerina · 12/07/2012 15:40

Also, my logic doesn't suck. But your interpretation of it does Smile

Badgerina · 12/07/2012 15:38

okwithK (nice name change by the way) I have no chip on my shoulder because I AM middle class.

You're clearly a lot crosser about this than I am Hmm

ExitPursuedByABear · 12/07/2012 15:29

Each to their own.

GnocchiNineDoors · 12/07/2012 15:20

Of course, Kitty!

I once read a thread debating whether to go for the name Calypso. Thats another MN name.

TheOriginalSteamingNit · 12/07/2012 15:14

And Kate and Kitty!

GnocchiNineDoors · 12/07/2012 15:11

Surely Kit totally screws up the K thing....its a mn name if ever I saw one.

PurplePidjin · 12/07/2012 14:57
