Unusual isn't it? I love Chenille jumpers. They're so soft. It's a nice sound too.

My aunt lived next to a girl called Precious Hymen. I kid you not. That was when she decided that she had to move out.

I shouldn't know this, but it was actually 'Sable Colby'.

Carpet? lol at that being somebody's favourite word. Makes a change from wood floors throughout though.

I used to work with a guy, whose surname was Silk funnily enough, seguing nicely into this convo, anyway he was going to have children called Alpine and Milano.

I told him they sounded like loo cleaners. I wonder if there's a little Milano Silk out there. I doubt it, because looking back on it that was such an unlikely conversation to be having with a heterosexual man.

I had a friend at university who swore she was going to have 3 children called Wireless, Carpet and Vladivostok because they were her favourite words!

How about Lycra for a middle name?

themoon66 · 08/04/2009 18:57

Makes me think of The Colebys. Crystal Carrington, Sable Coleby.

lol poly esther

you cannot call a child Chenille

it's just crazy talk

leaa · 08/04/2009 18:51

Chenille means caterpillar in French! That child better never visit France, ever!

seeker · 08/04/2009 18:41

Terylene - then she can call herself Terry if she doesn't like having such an unusual name.

Polly Esther is inspired

loo roll though!! I can see where you're coming from. How's it different from Scarlet. I like Juliet and Valerie so if you jumble up those sounds 'velvet'. But somehow, no. I just see a loo seat and a bum.

Polly Esther my favourite

DarrellRivers · 08/04/2009 18:28

Seriously, I think quite like Velvet

Somebody 'famous' has a daughter called Velvet. I think it is Suzy Godson. She has written some annoying articles about something that annoyed me intensely. Can't remember what though.

And before you all murder me, I'm not in the UK, so I'd eat my socks if the Mum read this.
