If they have a boy next time round they can call him Leaf Leif

Petal Blossom MLP

awful. Petal isn't a flower name at all, like the others. makes me think of a puppy or a horse.

MrsHarry · 04/04/2009 22:36

Petal is the piglet in 'Big Barn Farm' (CBeebies) It is a cute piglet name.....

"...nobody bats an eyelid now when they read about Fifi, Peaches and Pixie...."

  • I'm sorry, but when you read what their full names are - oh, and there's Tiger Heavenly Lily Whatever as well, they sound pretty silly to me and I DO bat both my eyelids actually..

I just don't get
'They'll never be a lawyer/prime minister/ managing director with a name like that' comments.

What????
and
Why???

Isn't there a barrister or even perhaps judge called Cupcake Brown?

It IS a My Little Pony name.

Good lord.

lunamoon2 · 04/04/2009 21:49

It goes with the other "flowery" type names they have chosen.
Not my personal choice but not too bad considering.

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 21:01

Nancy, looking at the ther girls and the parents...I doubt Petal will look anything but gorgeous....

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 20:59

Duncan Jones is Zowie Bowie....I never new that....
well, he was Duncan Zowie Bowie I suppose...

Nancy66 · 04/04/2009 20:53

I've heard worse celeb names. But it's one of those names where you have to look the part to carry it off - what if she ends up being built like a brickie?

melissa75 · 04/04/2009 20:05

it is such a terrible name...the poor child, imagine when she gets to school, she will be torn apart with a name like that. Kids will use ANY excuse to pick on another, and with this name they do not even need an excuse!

louisejohnson87 · 04/04/2009 19:30

I think that Celebrity Big Brothers take on the celeb names was awesome and so true!!!

Where the "celeb couple" got those baby dolls and called them

Table
Fork
Spoon
etc

I do feel really sorry for these poor kids! Do you think getting famous ACTUALLY destroys all commonsense??

Numberfour · 04/04/2009 18:51

makes me wonder what goes on in these slebs heads, naming their offspring as they do. i reckon it is abusive and making it all the more likely that the little ones will be teased at school.

stupid tw*ts

Littlepurpleprincess · 04/04/2009 18:17

I am now try to convince DP to go for the name Esme if we ever have a girl.

nooka · 04/04/2009 18:02

Some of those parents were complete druggies as well as hippies though. I love the way that Zowie Bowie is now Duncan Jones The George Foreman ones are rather sad. They must have all envied Natalie, who has the only normal name out of the 10 of them.

As for "Tu Morrow" that I think is just cruel. Some of those middle names must have been "for a laugh" - Rainbow (bad enough) Joan of Arc

Poor kids

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 16:41

ah well Audio Science or Moon Unit...lol...

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 16:39

Audio Silence??? are you kiddding me???

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 16:32

Celebrity Kids names....

louisejohnson87 · 04/04/2009 16:29

It is a rather strange name, however I work in an old peoples care home and one of our residents was an 90 year old woman called Queeny Joy Rainbow!!!

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 16:25

helsbels...considering those you mention, the poor Kid got a lucky escape......
I do think Ivy or Lily would have gone better with Daisy and Poppy

helsbels4 · 04/04/2009 15:53

As much as anything, I don't think that Petal Oliver rolls off the tongue very easily. Am also surprised that they went for a flower part as opposed to an actual flower. Tulip, Bluebell, Lily, Buttercup () would all have sounded better imo!

belgo · 04/04/2009 13:41

There are so many other nature names Holly, Heather, Lily, Ivy, Iris, Violet, that are pretty and girly but not quite so silly.
