I'm sorry neither of those are names except for the roller skate shoe type thing.

Dennis Healey. Mike Yarwood. "Silly Billy".

cox · 12/07/2008 09:57

Did somebody suggest HIckey instead?! Ha ha. They're similar.

sweetkitty · 12/07/2008 09:55

Sorry not my cup of tetley

EyeballsintheSky · 12/07/2008 09:51

So that's a no then?

EOM · 12/07/2008 09:25

Yuck. Don't inflict that on a child.

Hecate · 12/07/2008 09:22

Don't like it.

imo, it's likely to be the sibling of Tiffany, Chardonay and Romeo. It just gives me that mental image. iyswim.

Oblomov · 12/07/2008 09:07

Solo, I know its called a hickey. But I thought it was also called a Healey.

tegan · 12/07/2008 09:06

I love Healey for a girl would it be ok to pinch it if dc3 is a girl?

Oblomov · 12/07/2008 09:05

Solo, I know its called a hickey. But I thought it was also called a Healey.

struwellpeter · 11/07/2008 23:59

I know a Heli, which is apparently a scandinavian name and pronounced to rhyme with jelly. Not that that necessarily recommends it.

janeashersbookofspacecakes · 11/07/2008 23:51

No, doesn't look or sound attractive.

Blu · 11/07/2008 23:51

Nope. Bluntly - awful.

And I actually quite like 'unfeminine' sounding names for girls.

But I just don't think Healy sounds good.

And the other version sounds like Haile as in Selassie, and will cause endless spelling and pronounciation problems.

solo · 11/07/2008 23:06

Oblomov, that's a hickey ...now that would be a cool name!

bluefox · 11/07/2008 21:32

Not a proper name - made up - sounds stupid.

Oblomov · 11/07/2008 21:13

Isn't a healey like a bad name for a love bite.
Anyway. It is vile.
Any other silly names you have come up with, or is it just that one ?

sunshineonarainyday · 11/07/2008 20:52

Sorry, I don't like it at all!

PestoMonster · 11/07/2008 20:48
