The Eddie Stobart Method (for girls)

I have struck upon a rich seam indeed.

Struggling to find the perfect name for your daughter?

Torn between traditional or unusual?

Tearing your hair out on the mn baby name threads?

Use the Eddie Sobart Method.

Get in car.

Drive on motorway.

Come alongside Eddie Stobart lorry.

Read name of lorry on front (R) hand corner (just in front of drivers door, near the bumper).

There you go.

You cannot back out when you have seen your name. The method is all about chance and living on the edge.

For those of you who do not drive, or are not living in the UK, or do not like motorways, or trucks, I have come up with the variant MN Eddie Stobart Method.

Helpful mners will post on this here thread the name they have just spotted on their most recent journey.

To get the ball rolling I give you

Shona

My FIL might like those actually.......

frazzledoldbag34 · 27/08/2008 23:46

oh how hilarious! I particularly like the boxer shorts and the oven gloves
tee hee

sinkingfast · 27/08/2008 23:45

That's DH's Christmas present sorted - thanks for that

NorbertDentressangle · 27/08/2008 23:43

Going off on a bit of a tangent here (googling for sausage names) but take a look at the British Sausage Week merchandise -doesn't it look a little...erm...dodgy? Especially the tea towel and tie (scroll down)

sinkingfast · 27/08/2008 23:40

Lulubai, we do solemnly swear we won't tell a soul

ScummyMummy · 27/08/2008 23:38

You do see that we all need to know, surely?

frazzledoldbag34 · 27/08/2008 23:37

ooh yes lulubai, do that. We won't tell anyone........

frazzledoldbag34 · 27/08/2008 23:37

Kangeroo and Tomato would be a bit of a mouthful for a small child to say. Perhaps not.
I think Lucifer could be a possibility though?
Am def going to bed now.
Too silly for words.

ScummyMummy · 27/08/2008 23:36

could you tell us then delete, lulubai?

sinkingfast · 27/08/2008 23:34

Buck?

Lincoln?

Cumberland?

The Bristol Sausage Shop sells a sausage called "Lucifer"?

frazzledoldbag34 · 27/08/2008 23:34

Or maybe they shortened it and called him 'Chip'?
This is going to bug me.

ScummyMummy · 27/08/2008 23:33

sorry norbert... forgot myself and went outwith the uk

Can't be Toulouse either then and that's actually quite a nice artistlike sausagey name.

frazzledoldbag34 · 27/08/2008 23:32

Ugh, just been googling for sausages (yes, well my DH is out and I can't be bothered walking upstairs to bed) and I've just found (and I'm not kidding)
'Kangeroo and Tomato' sausages!!!!

Oh my, who would buy such a thing?

No others that could be remotely used for a baby name tho. Must be Cumberland I reckon.

(or I did see another type called Scrumpy Jack and Pork sausages - maybe they just had those and called him Jack?) Not quite so remarkable but much kinder than 'Chipolata'.

shopping lists propery female, functional, useful etc...
lists relating to modes of transport kept for private amusement....
terminally male.
But you might convince me they are functional, if kept ONLY for the purposes of baby naming.
Then (grudgingly) acceptable for laydeeez

Does the real Eddie know about this thread?

NorbertDentressangle · 27/08/2008 23:27

lolololol @ Saveloy

ScummyMummy · 27/08/2008 23:26

ace thread,

is the sausage kid called Cumberland? Banger? Walls? Mergez? Chorizo? Link? Lorne?

NorbertDentressangle · 27/08/2008 23:24

The sausage child is worrying me too.

All I can think of is:

Lincolnshire

Cocktail

Gloucester Old Spot

(I hope not, for the poor childs sake)

frazzledoldbag34 · 27/08/2008 23:19

He must be called 'Cumberland'???
(sorry, am worrying now about the sausage child)

Couldn't possibly be 'Chipolata" could it?
or 'Pork' [giggles like a small child] or worse 'Pork and Beef"????

or 'Banger'? Surely that would be cruel????
'Saveloy' is my only other suggestion (just been on Wikipedia but no other remotely sensible suggestions)
Sorry very silly , must go to bed

Anyway Eddie Stobart lorries rock.
