An old friend in the US has named her baby daughter McCaa. The only reason I know it's a girl is because her middle name is Laura!

tattifer, I thought I had one but it's just gone down the pan.

Theres a few houses like that round here, Gazandra and Vinreen are my favourites.

Sounds like a cheap guest house. There's one called Janbri a few miles away from here - answers on a postcard.

A girl at my secondary school was called Davra. Her parents were called David and Rachael, so they put their names together to come up with a name for their daughter.

notso it no good I thought I could get another one in but it seems your on a (toilet) roll

...shuffles off knowing she's just taken it too far...

FAQinglovely I have a cousin called Candida and she too goes by the nickname Candy. Christ knows what her mum was thinking naming her that!

I also know a Calendula.

We also had Tia Maria at my place of work.

My cousin goes to school with a Chardonnaire - pronounced Chardonnay.

Everyone calls her Char

notsoteenagemum · 27/03/2009 20:57

A right loo-ser no doubt.

tattifer · 27/03/2009 20:55

Yes, and will probably grow up to be a shitty teenager who constantly takes the piss

MANATEEequineOHARA · 27/03/2009 20:53

Latrine??? Do you really!?!?!? Well that would be something else to associate you with!!!

Tattifer I have no idea what you could possibly be suggesting...

notsoteenagemum · 27/03/2009 20:53

Rofl I imagine her to be a little flushed looking!

tattifer · 27/03/2009 20:51

Latrine, I always that would make a lovely name. A pretty little doe-eyed girl...

notsoteenagemum · 27/03/2009 20:50

Oh good MANATEE because I always say Latrine

I know Tattifer H oodles better than Ian

tattifer · 27/03/2009 20:47

manatee really?

MANATEEequineOHARA · 27/03/2009 20:46

Oh and btw, the loo/toilet thing...I wasn't being serious...well, not completely!

MANATEEequineOHARA · 27/03/2009 20:45

Notso...do not fear, all Steps associations are forgotten!!!

tattifer · 27/03/2009 20:42

Ian? I can see why he changed it to something glamorous and exciting like, er, H

notsoteenagemum · 27/03/2009 20:41

sorry x posts!

Can you beleive his real name is Ian!!

notsoteenagemum · 27/03/2009 20:39

MANATEE please note my previous post, I don't want to be labelled forevermore as a mis-pronouncer of Aitch and lover of Steps.

runs off to use the loo in shame

tattifer · 27/03/2009 20:37

notso Nooo, it's me, I'm boring, ignore me, sorry....

Sidge · 27/03/2009 20:37

I know of a Tiger-Lily, Cartier, Dray, and Power.

I went to sixth form college with a guy called Kestrel - I believe his siblings were called Falcon and Peregrine.

MANATEEequineOHARA · 27/03/2009 20:36

Notso...I thought of Steps too, not because I like them in the SLIGHTEST way, but because I have always thought of them as idiots all the more by having someone in a band called 'H'.

notsoteenagemum · 27/03/2009 20:33

AHH! I see what you mean.
In my beautiful birthplace of Hull however Aitch is often said Haitch which is why I added it.

Am slightly now at my Steps reference.

MANATEEequineOHARA · 27/03/2009 20:32

Ugh, I hate it soooo much when people pronounce it haitch. YUK. That goes hand in hand with people who call a loo a toilet

tattifer · 27/03/2009 20:28

I was just referring fleetingly to the ironies of the pronunciation given the letter concerned aitch, spelt defiantly without an H in the front, so not Haitch... sigh and shakes head...no wonder I don't know anything about Steps...

tattifer · 27/03/2009 20:26

actually too old/boring/into Kate Rusby to know any of the names of Steps members, but if the cap fits...

...Capishia...
