wow!
DS's name was in Nbq's boy's list (that's twice it's been on a thread now!)
Hmmm hope it's not gonna get too popular

DD - mentioned only occasionally, always positively so far, as a beautiful but unusual/foreign version of a common name.

DS-mentioned occasionally - usually positive, sometimes 'too biblical'.

Yes, usually in the posh/ beautiful but not usable threads.

Alderney · 31/05/2008 08:41

I often see DD1's name as its a flower name...

Never ever seen DD2's name....but I think its wonderful for her..

poorbuthappy · 30/05/2008 12:13

My dd's name is mentioned very occasionally, but I have never seen my name mentioned! (Or I just don't read enough...)

PrimulaVeris · 30/05/2008 12:10

Nope - as they are far too boring and traditional to make the Big Time in baby names threads

Blandmum · 30/05/2008 12:05

ds's is often mentioned and is just about always liked.

dd's gets mentioned in the 'posh names' threads and is generally liked a lot

LOL. I'm so not posh!

DontCallMeBaby · 30/05/2008 11:55

Nope. Middle name gets a few mentions (positive ones, plus at least one mention on a "names that will never come back in" thread ).

Mine got a mention on the "non-girlie but not butch girls' names" thread earlier, that made a change.

nervousal · 30/05/2008 11:46

Don't think I've ever seen DDs name mentioned. Shes Kasia Louise - she's sorted for a country and western name if she ever decides to be that way inclined (Kasia Lou)

devonsmummy · 30/05/2008 11:44

DS's name was on someone's shortlist once.

Oh and when i posted to see if a name I liked was too similar to DS's, was told they sounded like pandas in a zoo!!

ggglimpopo · 30/05/2008 08:26

ds1's name comes up time and time again
Dd2's name comes up occasionally

My other childrens names never come up

RubySlippers · 30/05/2008 08:05

My DS's name has been mentioned

It is beyond the pale as it is unisex, could be a surname and is "chavvy"

OrmIrian · 30/05/2008 08:03

Two of them have been. Not the third though as far as I know.

Morethanmum · 30/05/2008 08:02

Never seen any of mine, but they aren't very common. Think ds2 was mentioned in a Scottish way once, as a bit less attractive than an alternative. Oh well. At least he is very attractive.

belgo · 30/05/2008 07:57

dd1 - sometimes mentioned as an unuasl name - rarely gets any strong reaction.

DD2 - never gets mentioned, being flemish/germanic.

BumperliciousNeedsToSleep · 30/05/2008 07:57

My DD's never is so I started a thread on it once because I wanted people to have the benefit of my good taste!

Funnily enough my DD's name is fairly unusual, but not weird, and universally liked.

berolina · 30/05/2008 07:56

ds1's name often comes up in a 'this is a nice, solid but quite popular name' way. ds2's never does - it's very unusual, particularly in the UK. If I did start a thread on it just to see, I expect I would get a few 'ooh, a bit poncy' replies.

kayzisexpecting · 30/05/2008 07:19

Mine was just a few days ago.

Most people liked it but a couple said it made them think of a fictional film character.

lillypie · 30/05/2008 07:16

My sons names are never mentioned,but my daughters name comes up a lot.

My best friends DS name comes up on every pouncy name thread

MrsJohnCusack · 30/05/2008 02:03

DD's name (or variant thereof) was the subject of a thread once, can't remember the general consensus, but as with anything, some liked itand some didn't. it's pretty unusual so we expect some digs anyway
DS's name coames up fairly frequently, is a good, solid, slightly old fashioned name which he share with the offspring of some very nice Mumsnetters

Weegiemum · 30/05/2008 01:44

No.

Not my dds anyway, as they both have lovely ordinary girls names that are never mentioned.

Ds occasionally as his is Irish.

Usually only mentioned if I mention them!

Gobbledigook · 29/05/2008 23:02

None of mine come up really because they are not unusual names. They are just classic names that lots of people use without wondering what people will think if shouted out in the supermarket!

used2bthin · 29/05/2008 23:00

DD's name is aways suggested when people ask for feisty/strong/firey names. She is quite a character but I think would hae been anyway! Her middle name has been suggested tonight too.

winestein · 29/05/2008 22:57

You really like my DS's name Boysarelike... I remember you saying it (in your Easter guise)
