have met one, DS called her Frisbee the whole time.

Frontdoorstep · 10/12/2013 18:53

Sounds like frisbee, sounds like something said by someone with a speech impediment, I'm not even sure how you pronounce it anyway, please tell me?

NomDeClavier · 10/12/2013 17:51

Iphigenie? Nn Ginny. My DH won't let me have it.

scaevola · 10/12/2013 17:18

If you like Thisbe, what about Mopsa?

FrumiousBandersnatch · 10/12/2013 17:14

It's lovely as long as you're not in London. 'Fizzbee' is not so pretty.

Congratulations!

I know a Thisbe and it is gorgeous! Don't think the mum regrets it at all, often gets comments on how pretty it is.

Actually Phoebe would go very nicely with your other two names. :)

Charis? Hermione? Esmeralda? Beatrix? Persephone?

ChicksyBurtVonnugget · 10/12/2013 16:22

Congratulations! Let us know what you decide, or if you want any more suggestions!

Thumbnutstwitchingonanopenfire · 10/12/2013 16:21

Oh, what had you come up with so far? And what does she look like then?

ChicksyBurtVonnugget · 10/12/2013 16:21

The story is just treated so crudely by the mechanicals in msnd that it feels like a comedy name. Circe and phoebe have a similar feel without seeming a joke name.

Nup.
She's arrived and none of them suit her.

The ones I like DP doesn't and the ones he likes I don't. Sad

Immediately made me think Frisbee.

I thought you'd decided on names :)

Too much like Frisbee for my liking. Nah.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 10/12/2013 16:12

You know she's going to be called Frisbee, right?

PandaG · 10/12/2013 16:12

Makes me think of Bottom et al in Midsummer Night's. Couldn't take it seriously. Sorry

Thumbnutstwitchingonanopenfire · 10/12/2013 16:12

Also, not if your surname is Wall. Or if you already have a Pyramus.

louloutheshamed · 10/12/2013 16:10

i have taught too many hilarious lessons to y8 boys pretending to stab themselves screaming 'die Thisbe die' to take it seriously I'm afraid!

Thumbnutstwitchingonanopenfire · 10/12/2013 16:08

S'all right. :) So long as you don't spell it Thizbe (yes I do know someone whose name is Thizbe)
