Wanted: girls name. Must be fabulous.

Why am I pregnant again ffs? Stupid Catholic upbringing. My body will an unsalvageable wreck and we will be living in penury for the next two decades.

Anyway. Need a girls name. I am utterly devoid of inspiration, being interested only in grab bags of Skips and having naps.

Already have an Agnes and an Enid. Surname Stephens.

Dislike: frilliness; 'ah' endings; 'classic' names.

Like: fabulous names. I was keen on Ramona the last go-round, but think I might have lost my love for it.

Any suggestions?

So you mix things up on other threads to preserve your anonymity and then on this thread cheerfully tell us your surname and the names of your two daughters? Grin

I stand by what I said - some absolutely fugly names going on here

In fairness to Reusit I did wonder if OP was on a wind up, having names like Agnes and Enid but advising us nothing too N London

^^indeed

oP, I bet you wish there was a 'hide poster' option. Wink I just don't understand posters like Reuset who seem so desperate to upset others. It's trolling at its most basic. This is a baby names thread ffs!

OP, you should definitely completely 100% ignore.

Anyway, back to names.

Ester is a good suggestion by a PP or is it too many 'E's
Or
Dawn
Diane
Holly
Joanne. 'Jo'
Beth
Fern
Jill
Lynne
Susan.
Nell - this would go really well with Enid and Agnes. 'Jo'
Beth
Fern
Jill
Lynne
Susan.
Nell - this would go really well with Enid and Agnes

Oh Lord, have some of you nothing better to do than bicker with strangers online?

LondonRocks · 26/05/2015 08:24
Hmm
MitziKinsky · 26/05/2015 08:19

reuset , you have been repeatedly rude to the OP, stamped your French with Irish heritage foot, that you are speaking out against outmoded, sexist comments with out explaining giving a reasoned argument or explanation.

Is French Catholic different from Roman Catholic? Has the pope advised married women it's OK to use contraception? I'm definitely missing something here.

Actually I don't care, reuset, and I don't think anyone else on this thread does either, were just laughing at you repeatedly trying to get the last word in. Grin

Jane.

Helen- "shortened" to Nell.

I was also wondering what North London is if Agnes and Enid aren't!

But definitlely go for Nell. It's perfect.

Or close your eyes and stick a pin in a Chalet School book, and use whatever you stab. Unless it's Matey or Empidocles.

Annabannbobanna · 26/05/2015 05:59

Ha ha ha ha! I just love how you are saying so many of the suggestions are just 'too North London' and you have an Enid and an Agnes. Ha ha ha!

It's ambiguous, CheerfulYank, but the narrator is definitely unhinged so my money's on it being her that killed everyone. Deliciously creepy to be sure - it's fab.

Resuit, there is no reason on earth why I would make any of what I've posted in this user name up. For what purpose? It's none of it sexy or even interesting.

Please check the talk guidelines about troll hunting. If you're so confident that I'm on some elaborate inexplicable wind-up then report the threat. Otherwise, let it go, let it gooooo. (Just a little joke to lighten the mood. A reference to a film that I like to watch with my DS DD DDog err... family. Grin )

I think I'm done with engaging with you on this, in any case. Though tbf, what else is a woman to do with 5:30 am pregnancy heartburn than argue with someone on MN about whether it exists or not? It beats watching the shopping channels I suppose.

I never got Sister Maude! Did she kill everyone?

I do love it though. Deliciously creepy.

Not rtft but suggesting

Muriel

Dorothy

Esther - nice but would ideally like to avoid another E initial for practical reasons (unless it's amazing, in which case they can sort out their own squabbles about post)

Irene too similar to Enid?

Edna - Too close to Enid

I doubt she made all that up.

Arsenic · 26/05/2015 03:00

No Enid??

But OP rejected multiple names because they were too like Enid.

Starsmum75 · 26/05/2015 02:55

or what about Grace.
Agnes
Enid

Grace

I change details of my kids sexes and ages in threads. It makes sense to do that especially when you have so many stalkerish weirdos online mentioning no names I think loads of people do it.
