After lurking on the current baby name threads, I was reminded of this this morning. DH met a colleague last week who was talking about his baby daughter.

Colleague is called Richard
His wife is called Michelle

Their new baby - Richelle

It is made up isn't it?

I knew a little girl called Jaminda after her parents James and Linda. Love 'Danger' Mrs D; I can think of a few more: Trouble, Mischief, Disaster...

MrsD, sorry but that's HILARIOUS if we ever have another son I am definitely doing that!!!

DH has a colleague that gave his son the middle name 'danger', just so he can say when he is older 'danger is my middle name'

oh ar$e there are actual baby Richelles then

apologies to all MummyToRichelles lurking

I don't think that the problem is that it is made up

I think the problem is that is sounds like a worthy yet boring biscuit in the rich tea / malted milk tradition.

Quite popular in the States Custy!

yummylittlelapin · 29/01/2008 08:27

Yes

But then all names are made up at some point!
