with the Baby Names threads?
Just call your baby what you like when it is born ... and then people can get used to calling your baby Tooty Frooty Smith or whatever as it is a done deal ....

But please stop listing names like:

Dante
Hector
Edith (Does anyone remember "'Allo 'Allo")
Blaise
Milton
BAYARD??? WTF?

I can't stand it anymore ....

ghosty - I absolutely agree with you but sometimes find myself looking and posting my approval/disapproval

FrannyandZooey · 26/08/2008 08:22

LOL
you just listed most of my favourite baby names
(not personally Milton or Bayard but there you go)

Hecate · 26/08/2008 08:22

Yup. Hide 'em and shurrup

Personally, I rather like it when someone comes on and, in all seriousness, asks what we think of Alfonso Falafalafal

I hate these threads as well. I can never understand how someone who is so interested in such ridiculous unusual names also needs approval from a bunch of nutters anonymous women.

i love the baby name threads.
you could always hide the threads if they are making you sit rocking in the corner.

what about Mildew?, I think it's pretty.

Dante and Bayard were raising an eyebrow with me as well.

Just call 'em what you want, tell people after the baby is born and if they don't like it they'll just say "Ohhhhh...how unusual". Easy!
