Hello all, me and the hubby have been talking about what to name our third child, my dds are called Evangelica and Greta; but we want the third baby to have a more unique name.. lol. For a girl we have considered something like India or Samantha, and a boys to be something like Timmy or lil' something ( all the kids love lil' pump so I think it would be appropriate)
Please tell me all your wonderful stories and let me know what you think. Lol xxxxx

LOLZ at Lil Fucker.

Timmy, India and Samantha are not at all unusual, let alone unique. Dated maybe, but not unusual.

How about Lil'Fucker? It's the English version of Lil'Focker which is from a film and everything.

Evangelica, Greta and Lil'Fucker sounds like the ideal family to be honest. Definite Waitrose-shoppers.

Please don't call ur child lil anything . that is horrific, it's laughable when celebrities do it but mortifying for a 'norm' to do it !

Battleax · 12/12/2017 11:06

What's the point in asking if you are joking?

It's a good question manic.

Why do people put these weird cryptic tongue in cheek baby name threads up?
I can never work out if they’ve got a terrible sense of humour and are trying to be funny, or are trying to be goody but missing the mark.
Perhaps we should develop a stock answer. Something like:
‘You seem to have posted a non serious bizarre post on baby names. We suggest you:
1 Get a life
2 If struggling with 1, then aim to develop a better sense of humour that will mean your threads are actually amusing
3 if struggling with 1 and 2, please log on to netmums, where you will find supportive hubs, no matter what drivel you post

Choccyhobnob · 12/12/2017 09:08

I'm absolutely PRAYING it's tongue in cheek as it's just bloody ridiculous

manicinsomniac · 12/12/2017 08:56

Oh. I didn't read it as tongue in cheek, Battleax

I don't pick up on tone in writing very easily. That's annoying. What's the point in asking if you are joking?

Battleax · 12/12/2017 00:23

That's a lot of energy you're expending on a tongue in cheek enquiry manic Shock

manicinsomniac · 12/12/2017 00:21

I think Evangelica (and probably Greta too) is far more unique that Samantha and India. Samantha is perhaps fairly unusual for a child now, though it was very popular in the 80s and 90s. I've never heard the name Evangelica before in fact.

Along the same kind of lines, how about:
Adrielle, Alyona, Amberley, Arianne, Averil, Alexandrina, Andromeda, Amabelle, Bernadette, Benjamina, Cressida, Coraline, Clarice, Christabel, Delphi, Desdemona, Danika, Eugenie, Electra, Elisaveta, Fionnhuala, Fenella, Fabienne, Fabia, Frederika, Giovanna, Graciella, Henriette, Hannelie, Isadora, Imelda, Ivanka, Jessamine, Jerica, Josephina, Jonquil, Jacinta, Jolita, Katinka, Karensa, Karizma, Leonie, Lavinia, Lavender, Leandra, Mariella, Mirabelle, Melisande, Nerilly, Neriah, Octavia, Prunella, Phyllida, Rosina, Robina, Ramona, Rosabelle, Seraphina, Samaris, Samara, Samya, Tamika, Tansy, Taryn, Thalia, Ulrika, Vashti, Veda, Xanthippe, Zeryn

Boys - Confused Tiny Tim perhaps?!

I'm not really sure where you're going with the whole 'Lil thing. It's not something I've ever seen before. Presumably it means 'little' and is used in the same way some Americans use Jr?
I'd avoid Lil'Timmy because you will get people like me being facetious over Tiny Tim.
I don't like the idea at all but if you had to, then how about something one syabble so it kind of bends and becomes one name: Lil'Bob, Lil' James, Lil'John, Lil'Mark.

Like Timmy:
Tommy, Titus, Tod,

Interesting username. Is that like corned beef thighs?

@IJustGotHitByADeer you beat me to Balonz 👊

IVflytrap · 11/12/2017 21:42

If you like the meaning of lil' and you like Timothy, how about Tiny Tim? It sounds more British than lil' pump.

There's also lil' mechanism for a boy (l'mech for short) and lil' device for a girl. Alternatively for a more modern take, instead of using lil', how about lol?

PhuntSox · 11/12/2017 20:55

Unique or retro? Unique means its the only one, so a made up name.

If retro then Timmy is perfect, I also suggest Susan and Richard.

Evangelica, Greta and Cleopatra-Mae.

A) Samantha & India are not unique - although India is a lovely name

B) Lil' are you kidding?! I doubt you would be allowed to even register a baby with a name like that to be honest. You do realise that Lil'Wayne etc. Are rappers and those are their stage names?! Not the names they were given by their parents??

Think of the child explaining that name all their life. Sad
