Mine haven't been. Not sure what that means.

Ds's name appears to be shorthand for the kind of name that used to be posh, then was out of fashion and was unusual, and now is common as muck - George. I still love it so I don't care.

I never, never, never see my name discussed positively, negatively, or at all. Very odd, it is not that unusual, and not at all hideous.

dd's name is generally described as pretty but overused (top 10)

scorpio1 · 29/05/2008 21:37

No, never

hatwoman step away from the baby naming thread, slowly.........slowly..........good girl

hatwoman · 29/05/2008 21:37

as far as I know neither has ever been mentioned

hatwoman · 29/05/2008 21:36

hat wonders whether to start a thread about her dd's names....never thought of doing that before. not sure whether I want to or not...

dizzydixies · 29/05/2008 21:35

pmsl all we need now is VS and naming thread is complete

scorpio what a load of arse, I hope you don't take that comment seriously

scorpio1 · 29/05/2008 21:34

My ds1 hasn't really
ds2 yes
dd - ALOT. some argue its not a name name just a shortening.

charliecat · 29/05/2008 21:33

never

SK waves to hatrick and dizzy

ChippyMinton · 29/05/2008 21:32

all mentioned and all given the MN stamp of approval...and all chosen by DH so I can't take the credit

Dd's doesn't really get mentioned (except by me!) on the baby name threads, but long before the baby names topic there was a well known MNer who was considering using her name for her dd2, and lots of opinions were given then. Most people seemed to like/love it, but a handful (of largely well known MNers) thought it was too 'horsey'.

4andnotout · 29/05/2008 21:25

dd1-Olivia-Mae lots of olivia's but Mae is mega chavvy apparently
dd2 & dd3 never mentioned

Mine has but not often - majority view is very favourable but significant minority consider it poncey. Variation on my own name has just been greeted warmly, wwile husband's name is so dull I doubt it'll ever be mentioned.

Pen74 · 29/05/2008 21:08

DS1's is mentioned a fair bit. Mostly positive but some seem to despise it.

DS2's is occasionally mentioned. Gets a good response but was described by one as the middle-class Kevin of the 90s, which made me smile.

My top names for 'the next one' are rarely mentioned.

PuppyDogTails · 29/05/2008 21:06

Mine has been to mixed reception

micci25 · 29/05/2008 21:05

dd1's name has never mentioned and im fairly sure that it wont be dp thought that it was a made up name when i met him! its not. just uncommon now. every who meets her says what a lovely name apart from dp's nephew who asked why she has a boys name!!!

dd2s name is quite common but i dont think that i have ever heard it on here.

Wallace · 29/05/2008 21:05

my ds1's is mentioned in posh threads, or "what a stupid name to call your baby" thread

dd's - never

ds2's - quite commonly recommended

GreenElizabeth · 29/05/2008 21:01
