How many times has your name been mentioned in the baby names topic?
I searched mine, it was twice, both times to be called a 70's name and that's it.

I am suprised - 59 times over 32 threads! Didn't read them all though so not sure why they appear or wwther good/bad.

Heffagooday · 02/06/2008 15:29

97 times! Surprised it's not more tbh.

EachPeachPearMum · 02/06/2008 14:13

My name is 'unusual but not pocey' apparently... according to a recent thread!

ChicaLovesBranstonPickle · 02/06/2008 10:17

11 times!

I think it's thought of as 70s/80s name, and it proabably isn't due for a comeback for another few years. But I like it!

schneebly · 02/06/2008 10:16

I think I must have the same name and same spelling as you TigerFeet

BlueDragonfly · 02/06/2008 10:16

there was a hun with a username v similar to my rl name though

BlueDragonfly · 02/06/2008 10:14

mine? none

MrsJohnCusack · 02/06/2008 10:09

55

BellaBear · 02/06/2008 10:00

but also used as a nickname for lots of longer names.

  1. It was dreadfully unpopular when I was born (an old woman's name apparently everyone told my mum) and now ensconsed in the top ten.
DaDaDa · 02/06/2008 09:54

Three times. Twice as a laughably uncool '70's name ready for a comeback and once as as a laughably inappropriate name that a woman had been given.

SoupKitchen · 02/06/2008 09:32

14, threads in baby names with my name in them since January.
Unusual because it has never really gone away iykwim

TigerFeet · 02/06/2008 09:17

117 + 75 + 62 + 12 = lots

TigerFeet · 02/06/2008 09:11

117 times using the same spelling that I use

But I can think of 3 other accepted spellings

So will be back in a sec with an update...

CantSleepWontSleep · 02/06/2008 09:06

Spelled the way mine is, twice that wasn't by me.

puppydavies · 31/05/2008 20:17

97 times, is soooo topten no-one bothers to ask for opinions i reckon.

wilbur · 31/05/2008 20:16

Rather more than I expected as I don't know any small girls with my name at all. Not one. Maybe I'm just about to stage a massive comeback.

Lazylou · 31/05/2008 20:12

My name does appear but as a preference for Clara in most cases. It's never been mentioned on its own before unless I have written DD's first and second name in which case it will be there

ja9 · 31/05/2008 20:11

3 times - and 2 of them for unpleasant reasons

i blame it all on a well known tv character about the same age as me - she ruined my name!

rolledhedgehog · 31/05/2008 20:07

12 times but most of those were in the context of surnames.

minniedot · 31/05/2008 20:06

My name? Never!

minniedot · 31/05/2008 20:05

My name? Never!

Squirdle · 31/05/2008 18:49

Rebekah is 14 (but 2 of those were what I wrote 10 minutes ago) and Rebecca is 95.

QueenMeabhOfConnaught · 31/05/2008 18:41

Mine is 0.

hunkermunker · 31/05/2008 18:33

Nope.

I did a search in the Baby Names topic and read the number at the top

And no, nor do half the other MNers in my address book - loads of us!
