GeoffWode, GREAT name

random · 12/06/2008 20:52

I quite like Video-Box

Ocado is a brilliant suggestion! perfect brother to Jago (I like that name though).

It's only when you put them together that they don't work. I mean you couldn't have a Morrison and a Gregg, but there are worse places to look for inspiration than the high street!

Debenhams instead of Deborah!???

Ryman instead of Ryan?

Instead of Ratner, what about Mappin?

I really wasn't expecting that. But am pleased for all the happy people across the top of the link with their freshly dilated vaginas. They do look pleased.

There was a girl named Ikea.

If I have a girl I'm going to call her Amielle

I think that's a pretty name, n'est pas?

I'm liking waitrose - Wait for short, would suit my DD

PuppyMonkey · 12/06/2008 15:22

Monsoon would be nice for a girl.

Jigsaw for a boy.
