Heard today:-

Spring-rose

At the doctors the other day was deliah-rose. Thought it was a misspell for Delilah but then maybe it's Delia?

And the when I worked in a nursery there was a little boy called deneil. Not too bad you say, till you knew his older brother was called Neil Hmm

India, Paris ands Brooklyn are all names so I suppose Mozambique isn't that strange a choice.

Chattycatty · 21/11/2015 12:51

I heard a woman yelling Mozambique today in a supermarket.

ToddlerTantrums · 21/11/2015 10:10

I know a Cookie and in the paper last week a Kash.

I could have called mine Wednesday in homage to my favourite family: Addams.

It turned out it was a boy born on a Thursday. It's not the same thing at all.

MamaLazarou · 20/11/2015 16:59

Amelie? Seriously? It's in the top 50 most popular names in the UK.

TesticleOfObjectivity · 20/11/2015 13:06

Mine was born on a Monday so I couldn't really call her Wednesday after that could I... Monday just doesn't have the same ring. Grin

UptownFunk00 · 20/11/2015 11:54

I know a Legeon but it's pronounced Legion.

Junior and Senior (don't believe they know each other).

Just remembered that Aurelia was Julius Caesar's mother.

I was in the changing room at the gym and heard someone calling her daughter Arriety. Must have been a Borrowers fan.

MrsEdinburgh · 19/11/2015 22:43

Was born.

MrsEdinburgh · 19/11/2015 22:42

Lancelottie was when I lived in the Midlands about 5 yrs ago.

Test I did briefly consider Thursday for DD1 as that was the day she wasbornn.

Honeybeam · 19/11/2015 18:38

I have worked in a school where there was a Merry and a Merrie in one class. I thought it was very strange.
