Did you come up with a fake name to give to the nosey parkers who wouldn't stop asking about the name?

My cousin went with Dave and Damien

Fanjita and Juan

My friend who I haven't seen for years keeps texting literally every week "name yet?"
Not "how are you?" Or anything.
Nosy fucker

I'd just go for really popular as then they won't feel the need to discuss is further - Oliver and Ava or something

If it's a girl I'm going to call her Princess and if it's a boy then I'm torn between Nigel and Brian.

Or Harthacnut but pronounce it Halfacunt.

Alphonso and Gonzo.

We told people we were thinking Thor, went down surprisingly well actually! We didn't use it although I do call DS it sometimes when he is playing with his toy hammer Smile

ICJump · 22/03/2017 04:59

We did. Well DS1 came up with a name and we just used it.

Yes, for the boy we picked a joke name that rhymed with the surname (think Ray McKay) and for the girl, I kept repeating names of TV personalities my Nan hated. It was only my mum and Nan who nagged about it though and was always good natured. Smile

When asked if we had names in mind, we just said, 'yes we do'.

End of conversation.

"We haven't decided on a name yet...when we finally meet him/ her, we'll know what suits him/ her best"

No possible answer to that Wink

No, we just said "you'll find out after the baby's born"

Be careful though I do know someone who picked a silly name for their baby as a joke. They referred to the bump as they name for so many weeks that they got used to it and it became the child's real name... Confused

Gerald and Geraldine.

They stopped asking after DC1. Grin

If you're going to give fake names, it would be much more fun to claim your dc was (to be?) called Balthazar or Dogberry...
