Because 20 month old dd thinks that's what we should call the new baby when it arrives.

How is 15 yr old Sherbert getting on?

Hotchocolatemousse · 17/10/2023 06:38

Ds called dd carrot for the first three years of her life.

My toddler names everything Cupcake or Brioche. How about those OP?

Only if you can spell it correctly. It's "sherbet". People always get that wrong.

Although "sherbert" allows for Bertie I suppose!

When I was small my headteacher was called Herbert and my mother, who didn't like him, called him Sherbet.

Sherbet could work as a name.

God NO1 I hope this is a joke! A bit of a sherbert where I come from is someone with no ounce of common sense.

Mind you, ds1 wantes to call baby M. Just that, M. And he doesn't watch 007 either.

No - dont like it. Straight away I thought of Shergar - the race horse. Or one of those old fashioned sherbert fountains with the liquorice stick in the middle. Oooooh no, not for me

My brother named me. Thank God we have an eight year gap, and he wasn't cruel in his choice!

... but we were set on the name Banana and that's what we went for.

aDad · 05/02/2008 08:03

dd1 wanted dd2 to be called Raspberry or Strawberry

OrmIrian · 05/02/2008 07:53

Only with lemon as middle name.

Ice-T's younger siste is Iced Gem.

Whispa? How about snickers, I feel it's got a touch more class.

MrsMattie · 04/02/2008 23:25

Sherbert is cockney rhyming slang for a cab. So good name for a future taxi driver, then.

jasper · 04/02/2008 23:23

fantastic.
Made me hoot with laughter.

seeker · 04/02/2008 22:44

I think Whispa is a lovely name.

Or Texan for a boy.

Not at all Kitty.
Doesn't everyone let their toddler name the new baby?
