I'm on my iPhone so can't do the linky thing properly, but I promise it's worth a copy and paste. Grin

Thyme and tide wait for no man though! Not set on a middle name, did think coriander/cardamom patricia has a lovely flow to it.

I quite like Thyme.

pikesy1 · 27/10/2012 11:04

Have you chosen a middle name, OP?

DorsetKnob · 27/10/2012 10:39

Cumin
Fennel
Cinnamon
Mustard

OscarPistoriusGirlfriend · 27/10/2012 10:18

This is a piss take isn't it?

Cardamon, really?

What about tumeric?

R4 · 27/10/2012 10:14

Haven't seen the archers

You don't say!! I would never have guessed. PMSL

DorsetKnob · 27/10/2012 10:10

Thanks for cheering me up OP and OP's DH.

ABitWoozy · 27/10/2012 10:04

I was convinced there was a sleb baby called Coriander already but looks like one baby had a lucky escape here

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 27/10/2012 09:57

Corinna?

Frontpaw · 27/10/2012 09:54

Nigella flowers are pretty enough. The Lawson connection is enough for me not to sew any. Annoying woman.

squoosh · 27/10/2012 09:51

Nigella?

I mean it's awful but it's a name and it's a black onion seed.

Frontpaw · 27/10/2012 09:50

You do hear Saffron though... Never Tumeric, Garam Masala or Garlic (equally fine ingredients)

Any thoughts on cardamom? Been telling DH about comments on here and he suggested that as alternative

Great spice, nice herb, awful name.

My first thought was of the spice so you could try Cumin, Caraway, Ginger, Black Mustard....Grin

DorsetKnob · 27/10/2012 09:10

math thanks for that I was wondering what this herb was that all the american cooking programmes used that looked like coriander.

No not good and please don't call your baby after a fishy dip (taramasalata)!

VintageRainBoots · 27/10/2012 06:30

Coriander? No. It's beyond horrible (no offence).

Re: Chardonnay, Honey, Peaches, Brandy (or Brandi).

nooka · 27/10/2012 05:45

Don't call your child a came that you think personally you'd get 'used to'! Choose a name that you think would be great to have.

Picking a name because it's 'exotic' makes me think of Frogmella and Spudulika. Not great.
