People names, or Adult names, or Man names or Woman names. Or KickAss lawyer names. Or Binman names. Or Teacher names. (oh god yes, teacher names."Miss Miss Miss - is your name REALLY TrixieBelle? REALLY, Miss?")

This might make people pause before they call their children names that only work for babies.

seeker - you are DULL

so get a job down the registry office and refuse to register any names you disapprove of.

you spend a lot of time on baby names threads, always saying the same thing. aren't you bored yet?

I have always felt that I was born to do some great work for the benefit of humanity....at last I have found it. I will not cease from mental strife (not shall my word sleep in my hand) until every child in the country is given a name that they can speak with pride, and which will never cause them to kick the bedcovers with embarrassment at 2 in the morning when they are 15!

apparently seeker is the boss of these threads
why is it your 'work' to ensure mnetters give their children names that you approve of?

lastboxoftampons · 04/02/2009 17:04

Perhaps seeker should set up shop as a professional baby namer she does seem to think that she's the only person with enough scruples to name a child.

It takes all kinds I say! let them name their children what they want!

MN not NM

Frasersmum123 · 04/02/2009 17:01

Oh Dizzy can we play a guessing game?

According to NM, DS1 is too common and I shouldnt have used DD's name because I am not Irish

dizzydixies · 04/02/2009 16:16

we according to MN I have given DD1 a name thats too common/overused
DD2 a name thats chav and sounds like a prostitute and
DD3 a boys name

non of which bothers me as they all suit them, it was my choice, they are my kids and thats that

FairLadyRantALot · 04/02/2009 14:41

well, es is Sven, ms is Yannic (he was the one where my fil said abot it being an Eskimo name...it isn't btw ) and ys is Flynn, which is decidely normal, I'd say....however, his name is often misspelled and stuff

annasmami · 04/02/2009 14:35

I think the point is that we (luckily) all have different tastes and a name someone finds chavvy/posh/weird, someone else may love. We also all come from different backgrounds/cultures/countries, so all have different associations.

I wonder whether we should have this Topic at all...?

Woooozle100 · 04/02/2009 14:25

cool. Dyou have a child called nanook?

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 04/02/2009 14:24

Go on, Fair Lady - what are they? I cannot bring to mind any eskimo names at all!

FairLadyRantALot · 04/02/2009 14:09

well...to me my Kids names are normal, but other people have described them as weird/hippy/eskimo names
