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? :))

Cuppa is a nice nickname actually! Hmm. It is growing on me.

It's on all the stuff, register, pegs, message boxes...
Cupcake Jones (but not Jones).

I did feel it would be too gossipy / sneering to ask the staff. I don't think I could keep the incredulity out of my tone of voice. Blush

Maybe I'll try to spot the parent, and start a conversation.

I wouldnt like my name to be Cupcake. What sort of NN would you have? Cup? Cuppy? Cuppa? Cakey-Cake? Baby Cake? Confused

squoosh · 10/07/2012 15:47

Definitely her name and not a term of endearment?

How dare you sneer at my daughter's name on here Angry

(just kidding, it's not me!)

Oh for goodness sake.

What next a lemon drizzle, or fairy cake?

I don't know. I'm just thinking "Surely that isnt on her birth certificate" but people are mad aren't they? So maybe it is!

And it probably isn't on the birth certificate.
But, it is still just silly.

I'm kinda like......hmm that's unique

Then the other part of me is saying....... That's got to be the pregnancy hormones

Pretty name for a little girl. But a woman?

StellaAndFries · 10/07/2012 15:38

Maybe her mum was a strawberry shortcake fan when she was a child :)

LittleWaveyLines · 10/07/2012 15:37
