Whaddyall think? Lovely alternative to Florence or is it bl00dy awful?

I don't absolutely hate it. I've heard worse. Penny is a possible nn.

Actually, I object more to the middle name, Harmony.

I've never heard front bottom refered to as a tuppence.

I am picturing a 1920's flapper girl, you know, charleston costume, feather in her head band, long cheroot in her very slim gloved hand.

I should hate it, but like some of you I don't.

She'll be worth twice as much as Penny though.

Tuppence was what my Mum called ladyparts when I was a kid. I think it must be a Northern thing (Manchester) as I've never heard it elsewhere

Oh thanks, chaos, I was wondering if I'd imagined it!

It's a bit close to tuppence ha'penny.

TotalChaos · 19/03/2008 16:20

exactly my thoughts talkingmongoose!

SquonkForgotHerEasterName · 19/03/2008 16:20

I want to dislike it.

But I do quite like it if I'm honest.

talkingmongoose · 19/03/2008 16:19

isn't it a fairly common euphemism for, a, erm, front bottom?

cluckyagain · 19/03/2008 16:17

I rather like it....and I'm quite surprised at myself for saying so!!
