Someone just told me this was on their shortlist. I love it, I want it...

Can't can I?

I like Cordy Roy for a boy or Calico for a girl, myself.

MakemineaGandT · 24/06/2009 21:22

no way. It is awful. And as for Velvet Love - poor girl. Hope she has a sense of humour as she's going to need it....

Is it velcro, sobloodystupid?

janeite · 24/06/2009 21:19

Is it mad-name-competition night or something?

Am quite liking Wincy-E'ete for a girl. And Ray-On for a boy.

nevergoogledragonbutter · 24/06/2009 21:17

perhaps NFQ.
are you in Devon?

squeaver · 24/06/2009 20:08

Toilet roll

hullygully · 24/06/2009 20:05

How about Sateen?

girlandboy · 24/06/2009 20:03

Toilet paper I'm afraid.

And of course "tipping the velvet"

Please don't.

So porno ... are you serious?!

LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 24/06/2009 19:48

Be prepared for a life time of teasing

nevergoogledragonbutter · 24/06/2009 19:48

I also know a 4 year old Velvet.
It's a bit out there, but has grown on me.

There is a girl in ds's class called Chantilly - as in Lace.

stubbyfingers · 24/06/2009 19:35

Velvet Love?

nooooooo!

piscesmoon · 24/06/2009 19:35

I wouldn't call it a name-like calling a DC satin or taffeta.

CornishKK · 24/06/2009 19:33

I loved the book National Velvet, not the name though, makes me think of Kleenex Velvet, soft, soft, soft.

sobloodystupid · 24/06/2009 19:33

nah early riser, not velour . but similarish

sweetnitanitro · 24/06/2009 19:32

It sounds like a porn star name, sorry.

Thunderduck · 24/06/2009 19:31

No. It's quite ridiculous.

Nylon is rather nice though, or Gore-tex for a boy.

yes velvet brown

TabithaTwitchet · 24/06/2009 19:24

Isn't it the name of the girl in National Velvet? (Or is it the horse's name?)

seeker · 24/06/2009 19:23

Candlewick? Nice Dickensian type name for a boy?
