Or-AY-lee-a

Annunziata · 10/07/2012 14:52

Sophie Plum? Do you think that's a mother's maiden name or did someone actually call their child Plum?

ShirleyKnot · 10/07/2012 14:51

How does one pronounce Aurelia? That is a pretty looking name.

BorisJohnsonsHair · 10/07/2012 14:51

Have I got this right? The Americans are taking the piss out of our choices of names?? Oh dear, oh dear .........

usualsuspect · 10/07/2012 14:50

I wanted to be called Georgina when I was a girl or Toni, I had a mate called Toni I loved her name.

squoosh · 10/07/2012 14:50

Elmo.

Hmmm, wonder what themed cards/presents/books he'll be receiving for aeons to come.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:49

Georgiana is a beautiful name. You would have to be v posh to cvarry it off though.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:48

Maris Piper!

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:48

Willoughby and Barnabas
You can imagine the mother cooing across the leafy playground 'will-eeeeeee, barn-eeeeee'

usualsuspect · 10/07/2012 14:48

I like Maris , as long as the surname isn't Piper.

PrettyInDecadence · 10/07/2012 14:48

I know a Leopold, the poor boy has 4 middle names as well!

usualsuspect · 10/07/2012 14:47

Percy? poor little sod.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:47

I know someone who was called Stella Maris (as in star of the sea).

I don;t know if that is pretty or ridiculous.

ShirleyKnot · 10/07/2012 14:44

Look they called their baby MARIS as in MARIS CRANE.

I wouldn't put anything past them.

usualsuspect · 10/07/2012 14:43

I expect the telegraph lot pronounce it Lou-ie though Grin

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:42

But there SHOULD be a full stop there shirl, use your loaf.

Thank god you said Louis, usual, if you admitted you named some poor innocent baby Leopold I would have been horrified.

usualsuspect · 10/07/2012 14:40

Yep, louis pronounce lou-is, which is the wrong way to pronounce it according to the baby name mafia experts of MN.

ShirleyKnot · 10/07/2012 14:38

No, there isn't a full stop.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:36

Usual is it Louis?

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:36

Oh yeah.....

Mind you you're a spanner as well - there is a full stop between John and Clea.

So NER.

ShirleyKnot · 10/07/2012 14:35

DS means BOY GOML you spanner

I think I know.

It's definitely Wilbur.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:34

It's not Katinka is it? Wink I guess Mae

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/07/2012 14:33

It's not Katinka is it? Wink I guess Mae

usualsuspect · 10/07/2012 14:31

My DSs name is listed there on your post getorf, can you guess which one it is?

Clue, It's the least ridiculous one. Grin

ShirleyKnot · 10/07/2012 14:30

What does:

"Christabel Maris Tessa Crossley, a sister for John
Clea Helen Marie, a sister for Alexander and Theodore"

mean?

Have they called one of the children John Clea Helen Marie?
