A little girl has joined DD's nursery.
Her name is CUPCAKE.

I suppose it is nicer than Fishfinger, or Potato.

(Oh. If the mum is a Mumsnetter: Hello mum of Cupcake!
So...
... cough...
...Are you going to the summer fair on Saturday? :))

But all children born this year whose parents want to follow the cake related theme need to pick either Soreen or Eccles. Less frivolous than cupcake. I agree, I am so not frivolous Smile

The world's gone mad!! Grin

sillybeardy I laughed at your last post! excellent!

I knew of a woman that apparently called her Dd Doily. You know! the paper things you put cupcakes on! maybe Doily is Cupcakes mum?! Hmm

It is probably a nickname.

When DBro was 5 he insisted on being called James. It was on his handwriting book, coat peg, letters, probably register too, for the whole year of school. He then reverted back to his usual name.

There were quite a few children in my class at school who were of Asian origin and had 'home' names i.e. their birth certificate name, and 'school' names.

Pashmina! I suppose it sounds like it should be a name. Umm, maybe. Pretty funny though.

It's like that Alicia Douvall person who named her daughter Papaya Coco Piri-piri. Sounds more like a shopping list than a baby.

marge2 · 13/07/2012 13:02

I think you should call SS - that's just cruel!

areyoutheregoditsmemargaret · 13/07/2012 12:59

There's a girl in dds' Brownies called Pashmina

Clarella · 12/07/2012 20:32

I taught a Terrine 9 years ago. I always imagined green spam when I wrote her name. Oh and an Ikea. Guess what you could see from the playground?!!

Janoschi · 12/07/2012 20:10

I grew up with a little boy called Muffin.

squoosh · 11/07/2012 10:35

Ah yes sherbert Cupcake Brown! I've heard of her, she had a book out didn't she? That must be where the inspiration came from.

I wonder if the book was about overcoming a name like Cupcake.

Showmethemhappyfeet · 11/07/2012 10:30

Whoops just burst out laughing at my desk in work. 'she'll be eaten alive' hahahaGrin

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 11/07/2012 09:13

Wow Cupcake Brown had an interesting life

SherbetDibDab · 11/07/2012 07:25

You're all wrong, Cupcakes can become lawyers

Badgerina · 11/07/2012 07:15

I hope she doesn't develop a weight problem or an eating disorder.

Jux · 10/07/2012 18:45

I knew someone called Egg (a long time ago).

TheMightyMojoceratops · 10/07/2012 16:29

Surely the sibling name must be Bunting? Bunty as nn? Lovely! Grin

EldritchCleavage · 10/07/2012 16:28

What about her twin siblings, Bara and Brith?

squoosh · 10/07/2012 16:27

Oh Barm is pretty whattodo. Well not pretty exactly, more ugly I suppose. But you'd trust a woman called Barm. She'd be stout and efficient. The sort of person who'd re-tile her own roof, just for fun.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 10/07/2012 16:25

Could be worse, coulda been Mooncupcake Grin.

FootballFriendSays · 10/07/2012 16:24

Back later, my Flapjack and Linseed need feeding.

mumnosbest · 10/07/2012 16:23

Can you imagine at a party "cupcake?"
At school "who likes cupcakes?"
Later on in life could get a name for herself "whos had the cupcak?"

LegoAcupuncture · 10/07/2012 16:23

DS3 is starting school in September with a little (white, broad Geordie) girl called Cherish.

lisaro · 10/07/2012 16:23

And our new baby, Krispy Kreme.

CoffeeGoneColdAgain · 10/07/2012 16:22

:o Thats brilliant! Although I prefer CakePop, then the nickname could be Pops or poppy haha!
