Little girl at my daughters school called Trulie I think it's lovely really suits her but I do like quirky names

alotoftutus · 25/10/2022 20:20

I sing Truly Scrumptious as soon as I hear it I'm afraid. Could Trudy be an option?

PinkSyCo · 25/10/2022 19:42

It’s a truly awful and pretentious name. 😬

When I was little, I couldn't believe that my parents had watched Sleeping Beauty as children.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will still appeal.

It's not just the film though, it's a stage musical which has been touring in the UK in the last few years and has amateur rights available, including for a newly released junior version. I'm choreographing our lower school production of it right now so all our children know the song.

It's not an unpleasant sounding name, I don't think. But I would avoid it for the Truly Scrumptious link.

The film was made in 1968

I know what year it was released in because I've heard of Google.
I was asking if pp was teaching recently. I'm not sure how popular the film is with today's children.

Sounds like Julie! I would immediately assume that they were trying to say Julie.

Was this recently? I've never heard of "truly scrumptious" and I'm not young.

I’ve taught a Truly and the scrumptious part was used almost daily. I can only imagine how bloody tedious it was for her.

Truly Scrumptious. Poor kid.

Enko · 23/10/2022 23:15

I like it. But I do think scrumptious when I first hear it.

It's pretty though.

Theskyisfallingdown · 23/10/2022 15:45

Is your other kid called blossomstar by any chance?

CruelworldKindwords · 23/10/2022 11:25

I love it. It's a beautiful name.

Isn't that a handbag company?

Otillie is an actual name, albeit French.

Truly is a random adverb.

Not comparable.

Indeed, that's why the joke works.

What’s your DD1’s name @blossomstar

Kanaloa · 22/10/2022 01:05

A name is just a word anyway, why are there rules on what can and can't be a name?

Because otherwise we’d have kids named Box and Chacha-Slide and Truly. However you twist it people in the UK generally don’t name their children random English words.

Truly what?

Hi, this is Truly
Truly what?
My daughter.
She's truly your daughter?
No she's Truly and she's my daughter.
What??

Trudy is nice.

😂

I love that you’d never be able to introduce her without sounding like you’d just kidnapped her. ‘This is Truly my daughter. She’s my daughter… Truly. Honestly I promise she’s mine.’

Luredbyapomegranate · 22/10/2022 01:00

Dear god no.

It’s as bad as story. It’s is incredibly low rent.

Truly RIDICULOUS!!

Tbf MN has been obsessed with the name Utterly recently.

Sorry I mean, Ottilie.
