My mum picked me up the next day and said something along the lines of "omg have you been shagging a hippie"

Patchouli has greasy hair and patchwork clothes with bits of mirror in.

CountessDracula · 24/06/2008 23:09

zippitippitoes · 20/06/2008 12:44

jumpingbeans · 20/06/2008 12:37

Not a lo's name, but reminds me of cheesecloth shirts,velvet loom trousers long flowing hair,ohhhhh just slipped back to 1970 sorry

According to Wikidpedia, musk is derived from a gland situated between a deer's stomach and its genitals.

The musk gland in crocodiles is apparently situated in the cloaca (bottom).

Wikipedia also states that the word 'musk' comes from the Sanscrit and means 'testicle'

Anyone named 'Musk' here?

OneLieIn · 20/06/2008 12:28

Stinky oil or an impulse body spray, sorry...

PrimulaVeris · 20/06/2008 12:27

Good name for armpit or crotch spray

Comerscroft · 20/06/2008 12:23

MaryAnne----

'Musky' for a boy? 'Lusty' perhaps?

greenelizabeth · 20/06/2008 11:55

God no. It just reminds me of 1989 when I used to think the BOdy Shop was aspirational. 5th Form, saving up for aloe vero roll on. NO NO NO.

LuLuBai · 20/06/2008 10:04

No definitely not. Even if you have hippy heritage it't taking it too far. I like MAS's Juniper suggestion. If you must go for a hippy-trippy vibe then perhaps Saffron (although I wouldn't personally), Savannah, India or Uma

MaryAnnSingleton · 20/06/2008 10:01

Musky for a boy - remember Deputy Dawg anyone /

nappyaddict · 20/06/2008 10:01

MaryAnnSingleton · 20/06/2008 09:58
