What?

OP posts:

And such similar posting styles. One wonders how you feel about the name Madilyn OP?

Hate him not having a name

Don't like either but it would hsvd to be Kai

Yeah, but I do want Angel in there too - maybe I can use 2 middle names

I guess it is!

Kai has become familiar because of the Rooneys. Ronan is less overused. Perhaps Ronan teamed with a more Hawaiian name would be better?

I think two very similar names on the same board, on the same day counts as a coincidence? That's when I use 'a small world' when I come across a coincidence Smile

When someone uses the phrase small world, it usually means that they met someone they know in a place that would be strange to see them or whatever, but that's probs just me :)

Costacoffeeplease · 01/12/2015 23:56

I'm not implying anything - I've just remarked that it's a small world Confused

Not sure Kalani suits him, thanks for the suggestion though!

Kai is the Maori word for food and in common usage all over New Zealand. Once you don't live here you'll be fine. What about "Kalani"?, that's a Hawaiian name I heard recently.

You're implying it's a small world...

OP posts:
Costacoffeeplease · 01/12/2015 23:54

Of course it doesn't, silly, who said it did?

AwfulBeryl · 01/12/2015 23:54

Holy shit. You're kidding right ?

OliviaGrey · 01/12/2015 23:53

Which thread? Also, just because they may have the same last name/son has Grey as middle name doesn't mean I have a clue who they are?

OP posts:
Costacoffeeplease · 01/12/2015 23:52

Nothing cryptic - I've already said, there was a name thread earlier by someone who already had a son called Oliver Grey - such a coincidence to now have a thread by Olivia Grey, it's a small world

AwfulBeryl · 01/12/2015 23:50

Dunno, I don't get it either. You may as well come out and say it instead of leaving not so cryptic clues.

What's with this small work lark?

OP posts:
Strokethefurrywall · 01/12/2015 23:47

Yes my thoughts exactly Costacoffeeplease

Such a small small world...

cakedup · 01/12/2015 23:47

Oh I'm a bit Sad to hear the response to Kai.

DS' name is often shortened to Kai (but spelt differently). DS is 10 so it was before Wayne Rooney went and spoilt it!

I think both are lovely OP but I obviously Kai has sentimental value for me!

OliviaGrey · 01/12/2015 23:45

I kinda feel like Angel should be the first name and then Ronan or Kai in the middle

OP posts:
AyeAmarok · 01/12/2015 23:43

Ronan Angel Grey is the best from what you've given.

AwfulBeryl · 01/12/2015 23:40

What's with the conspiracy theories ?
