Just got back from the park where we met a child called Tiara. Obviously I can't vouch for the spelling but thought all you expectant mummies would be dying to add that one to your lists...

One of the ladies who was in hospital at the same time I was having ds called her baby girl Sissy-Sparkle. No kidding. She was in the room next to me and we got talking, I asked what she's called her and I really didn't know what to say! I think I said something along the lines of 'ooo how pretty'

I worked for a pre-school activity company where I got to hear a huge variety of interesting names. We had a very international (and quite posh) clientele so many names were just unusual because they were foreign. However, there was a family living in Islington whose eldest child was called something really very normal and middle class but his younger sibling was called Disney...

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:54

hee hee, They were well ahead of their time those wombles. They were talking about recycling as early as 1969. Plus, I used to live quite near wimbledon..... Hence MadameCholet. I also do far too much cooking.

harpomarx · 09/04/2008 22:48

not that i am obsessed or anything, but have just googled you to uncover reason for popularity of said name.

now I see... had forgotten all about her

kittywise · 09/04/2008 22:47

I've taught: a Calico-blue
A Hobie ( always reminded me of hobo)
Emanuel
Antasia (known as Tassy)

There are many, many others

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:42

Zhivago! oh my God. Dramatic, trendy, yooneek.. I like it more than I should.

harpomarx · 09/04/2008 22:42

how very dare she take your name!

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:41

Only because somebody who never posts has beaten me to the name MadameCholet!

So I log on one day and there is a Madame Cholet and a MadameCh0let as well, it will be abs0lute cha0s!

harpomarx · 09/04/2008 22:36

liking your thinking re the extra 'b's MadameCh0let (ps why is there an 0 in your name?)

I heard someone call their ds across the park the other day 'Zhivago, come here...'

sadly he didn't look like a big beardy Russian.

My dad was always a fan of Chlamydia as a name. SUCH a lucky escape.

Rumour has it there is a girl called Snow White living near me.
