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? :))

maybe she has another name on her bc but is known as cupcake, my ds2 is oscar reuben but for ages got called fruitcake, he still does sometimes and i dont even like fruitcake, nasty stuff filled with dead flies! Grin

Barm

CurrySpice · 10/07/2012 16:21

Is it hyphenated? Cup-Cake

lisaro · 10/07/2012 16:21

As I said to my sons Jaffa-cake and hob-nob.....

IMeMine · 10/07/2012 16:21

Bloody hell! That is even worse than apple.

lisaro · 10/07/2012 16:20

Why would anyone look at their perfect beautiful new child and think 'I'm going to condemn you to a life of ridicule and embarrassment'?

littlemissbroody26 · 10/07/2012 16:19

crumpet... mmmm now im hungry!

WifiNappies · 10/07/2012 16:19

Maybe it's like this lady
Not her real name but her siblings always called her it and it 'became' her name. Even the BBC call her Piggy Shock

FootballFriendSays · 10/07/2012 16:18

Batty. Yes, would work.

Soreen is quite Danish sounding.

Needs a brother called cookie or crumpet

squoosh · 10/07/2012 16:17

Ah it's a child who was born at the height of cupcake ridiculousness!

Perfectly fine then. Yep.

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.

NorbertDentressangle · 10/07/2012 16:16

I prefer Battenberg as a sibling name TBH

squoosh · 10/07/2012 16:14

Soreen is more recession sounding

FootballFriendSays · 10/07/2012 16:14

FFS the greedy noughties.

FootballFriendSays · 10/07/2012 16:14

Oxford Reading Tree were ahead of their time. They had a Chip.

How about a more recession name, in tune with the times. Cupcakes just make her sound a child of the greedy nighties.

mumnosbest · 10/07/2012 16:13

2012 got to be chocopop! Butterfly bun or french fany would be fun.

Amazed at how polite everyones being!

whattodoo · 10/07/2012 16:10

Brilliant!

If I have any more, i'm going to go for chip, rich fruit, pecan pie or krispy kreme

squoosh · 10/07/2012 16:07

Tch, how un-zetigeisty.

Cupcakes are so 2010. The child should be called Le Macaron or Whoopie Pie at the very least. Oh wait, does that make me sound very 2011?

rainonmyparade · 10/07/2012 16:04

Maybe its just a nickname that all her family and friends call her. Her proper name could be Charlotte Elizabeth.

Frontpaw · 10/07/2012 16:04

It has to be a nickname. Isn't it? Poor child. Surname Baker?

FootballFriendSays · 10/07/2012 16:04

Vol-au-vent would have been more edgy

BoysBoysBoysAndMe · 10/07/2012 16:02

We should start a new thread for sibling names

Muffin
Doughnut
Tart Blush
Brownie

PropositionJoe · 10/07/2012 16:02

It doesn't really pass the high court judge test, does it.

lurkingaround · 10/07/2012 16:01

Oh my.
