Page 5 | Ok. So Duckie is a no. What about Spike?

Title says it all really. Duckie is out. Second favourite is Spike. I also really like Dot and Dusty.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Wilder? Hunter? Rocky? Butch? All solid options.

Dusty bin - 321

Gotta be Sharptooth for a boy or Treestar for a girl.

CheekyHobson · 04/10/2024 22:15

I can’t work out whether this baby is meant to be a boy or a girl. Surely Spike and Dot are not interchangeable.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately saw the connection. 🦖🦕🦖🦕

I’m so sorry but all the names are pets names. Please dont cqll your child that. They will be bullied

Name changed for this OP as would be outing. I have a little girl called Dusty and she bloody rocks her name. Thankfully the real world isn't like mumsnet. Absolutely nobody cares about her name, and if they're commenting behind my back, I couldn't give a shit. She's beautiful, smart and strong and she's the most wonderful Dusty girl the world has ever seen!!!

I love the name Dusty.

I've got a Dottie and two other daughters with unusual names that mumsnet people would probably roll their eyes at, but funnily enough they sometimes appear on the threads of "names I wanted to use but wasn't brave enough" !

MumonabikeE5 · 04/10/2024 22:11

There’s a Dusty in our neighbourhood I think it’s pretty good.

MumChp · 04/10/2024 22:10

Dot. Yes.
The rest no.

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 04/10/2024 22:10

Well, Spike Milligan was a clever and funny man. If you're a fan of his, go for it.

menopausalmare · 04/10/2024 22:10

No, again.

The vampire is hotter!

No disagreement from me there. I'm currently on S6 on a rewatch

imnotwhoyouthinkiam · 04/10/2024 22:09

DCs dad wanted to call DS1 Spike. DS (20) told me he's very pleased I said no.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 04/10/2024 22:05

Think I had a hamster called Spike once!!!

ScottBakula · 04/10/2024 22:05

@tulip8 See pic I posted at 21.48 😵‍💫 . He still gives me the colliewobbles

SocksShmocks · 04/10/2024 22:05

I like Spike. Not keen on Duckie but have you considered Birdie?

Literally love, buy yourself some chickens or some guinea pigs and name them at will, until you get all of this out of your system.

😂

CavalierApproach · 04/10/2024 22:05

Dusty Springfield is a cool association to have, but I’m not sure people in younger generations to come will really know of her
