just came across a child i thought was named Christian. nice name thinks i.

until i seer the spelling.

Krisjan.

what an unusual spelling i think, maybe it is some regional spelling and the parents are foreign or something. so i ask mum where the name comes from.

"oh its from my husband kris and myself Janet. we made it up" all proud like.

I worked for a company that the Chairman (and previous MD) named after his son.

It's still around today .

My very first boyfriend's house was named (by his parents) after him and his sister.

It was called Garline.

They thought it was lovely.

Needless to say, it didn't last.

My dd would be Lira or Raysa.

Krisjan is how Christian is pronounced in Denmark; I suppose some Danes may spell it that way though I've never seen it.

I used to like Nic Kirshew in the 80's...

ihearthuckabees · 01/04/2009 13:50

Matsty or Kirshew anyone?

ceebie · 01/04/2009 13:42

Hmm. Maybe I should name this baby Clob. Or Raire?

Righteo. Names for this child and next sorted.

angelene · 01/04/2009 13:40

I would have a Stutie!

Sarim has nice middle-eastern vibe to it...

Maybe there is something in this name-splicing after all!

EyeballsintheSky · 01/04/2009 13:25

DD would be Sarim.

IwishIwereonthebeach · 01/04/2009 13:23

Jamie-Lynn I believe.

BigusBumus · 01/04/2009 13:19

KingRoloEgg · 01/04/2009 13:19

Ah, Casa Bevron! Loved Brookie back in the days of Ron 'Dicko' Dixon.

troutpout · 01/04/2009 13:15

i heard a carlisa the other day

Shambolic · 01/04/2009 13:05

Avles pronounced Ah-vlay is so much nicer though. It has a continental ring to it.

Chav is a bit gutteral and abrupt for my liking.

Maybe Chavelle and chav for short?

Simplysally · 01/04/2009 13:03

Didn't some pop "star" name his son Rayn after himself? .

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 01/04/2009 12:55

so if Charles and Avril call their son CHAV that would be ok?

Lizzylou · 01/04/2009 12:52

Aaaah, Malandra
Wonder what she's up to now?

Shambolic · 01/04/2009 12:52

Where would name splicing get you lot?

Here chez shambles, DD would have been called Jalen, which I think has a nice ring to it...

Fimbo · 01/04/2009 12:51

Dh's is Viodav
