Hello all... I need some help. My DH and I have settled on calling our ds Legend Cougar or Cougar Legend. Which do you like better?

The only other option we will think of is Xander. Thanks for your help.

thanks for resurrecting - worth it just to read about the twins called Tiffety and Taffety

I met a four-year-old boy called Cougar a few years ago in the course of my work (health profesional), in Scotland. It's always stuck in my mind as being quite, um, bizarre. I think he had a little sister called somethign really dull in comparison, like Sarah

Stumbled across this last night and it gave me great pleasure. Today I had to register with Bounty (the things I'll do to be in with a chance of winning a metre high Andrex puppy!) and it insisted on knowing DD's name ... so Bounty now believes that she's called Cougar

Xander. I'm sorry but you made the other 2 up didn't you.

Wynter
a family with Weston and Colton and Jackson (guns?)
Berlyn
Angel (not pronounced the spanish way, just a girl called Angel)
Mowgli
Classye
Precious Stone (seriously, can you believe it?)

Twins called Tiffety and Taffety

Thank you anyway... this has been a real good giggle imo. great job OP.

Thanks for giving me an entertaining day! DH and I were in America and met someone called Randy Holiday and someone called Beau Hunter and also a kid called Richard Nixon and Mickey Rourke. We decided to have some fun and come up with worse and spring it on you lot. Don't hate me, just needed a good laugh this morning. Thanks!

i actually don't mind cougar in theory, as a middle name...maybe only revealed occasionally
which, on the whole, from me, isn't that great a sign
good lord, woman.....don't do it
(except maybe, as a middle name, to be revealed occasionally)
in theory
perhaps
errrrrrrrrrrrrr.............
yeah........
i'm off down the gym

girlsallaround · 31/07/2008 11:30

good thing she had a boy....
