...Cedar or Cameo.

Whether it's a boy or a girl

Now that's two of the most unusual names I've heard for a while. Whaddya think?

Is it me, or was that Cameo video extremly camp?

Actually, I don't think the name Cedar is too bad.

How is Cedar any different from Hazel or Fern?

Did Cameo do that one about 'we don't have to take our clothes off, to have a good time, oh yeah' or was that someone else.

That was both a catchy tune, and an important message.

Mind you, didn't Cameo also have diamonds on his codpiece. Sorry, its a thought that suddenly grabbed me

Solitaire · 31/03/2008 21:32

To return to the original thread. What you have to consider is what a Cedar or a Cameo are going to face at school. No not pretty. Even worse a sulky teenage Cedar or Cameo

I actually like Cedar.
But i like nature names.
I can't help it.

Beauregard · 31/03/2008 21:30

Ahh i see now yes Cameo

"Word up"

Me too Solitaire, I remember the red codpiece!

I just smiled and said "oh, how unusual"

Boco · 31/03/2008 21:21

That's just what I thought! Word up!

Solitaire · 31/03/2008 21:19

All I can think of when I hear Cameo is a man in the mid eighties wearing a leather codpiece.
All together now..... 'word up, its what they say'
