Reminds me of the 70's. I like people not afraid to be thought stupid. Who cares if a total stranger has given her child hippy names? Peace and love people and cheer up.

That poor child!

What happens if they ever have any boys? Will they still go for cutesy flower names, or completely the opposite way: Pestilence, Famine ...

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 03/04/2009 12:03

trying a bit hard there....slightly completely somewhat over the top

it does sound like a my little pony.

i know a grown up petal. it's not a good name.

and i love nature names usually.

aren't the sibling poppy and something else flowery.

it's all getting a bit 'keeping up appearances' with rose, hyacinth etc

That's just dreadful! Has she given birth to a care bear or a daughter (who will one day be an adult)?!

notsoteenagemum · 03/04/2009 11:04

Petal is ok and Blossom is ok it's the Rainbow that makes it all a bit My Little Pony.
It's got a bit of a 'scraping the barrel for cute flowery names' feel.

Perhaps their other girls were allowed to chose "a name each" for the new baby. Petal I can just about come to grips with, but Blossom and Rainbow!!!!!

Brave!

Good Luck to her though - I quite like those Olivers
