Which middle name though, and do you think it's a bit weird to have with older DD Hermione?

Middle names:

Kitty
Betsie

my kids are called Sven, Yannic and Flynn...you make your own mind up if those are "normal", lol

my dd2 has an unusually-spelled name, it's italian. if you don't know what it is, or don't speak italian, you might mispronounce it, but once you've heard it once you wouldn't forget as it's the same as an english name. (i'm not telling, but basically i have no objection to a flowery wank-name. )

the reason i think that oneone is a terrible name is that no matter how many times i look at it, those letters read as oneone. i once got sent an email with loads of jumbled up letters and it read fine, because it appears that the human eye sorts these things out. that's what's happening with oneone.

Out of interest, do my most vehement opposers have DC with fairly regular names or not?

AitchTwoOh · 24/05/2009 23:20

it's completely dissimilar. utterly and totally. oneone is an affliction.

mind you, winona's still a fairly stupid name and i think she's a habitual thief who's addicted to painkillers. but yes apart from that she's done well.

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 24/05/2009 23:18

Winona Ryder has done ok - not that dissimilar

AitchTwoOh · 24/05/2009 23:13

i'm all for an unusual name, truly, but i genuinely thought that you were talking about pressing ahead with changing your mobile phone company. it's really awful, please don't name your child oneone. cos that's what everyone's reading, even if it's pronounced differently.

hobbgoblin · 24/05/2009 22:26

I really like Maude and my eldest DD suggested Alexandra.

I quite like Ruth too but the Ruth I know was a seriously feisty Irish girl and it just makes me think of her too much!

I wish Bellatrix wasn't so HP associated.
