not allow anything with mum, mummy, mama, dad, dadda, gramps etc because they annoy the crap out of me for being too twee.

also anything with random numbers at the end because they are pointless.

TIA

PlumBumMum · 29/09/2009 19:55

I completely forget there is mum in my name, I'm very far from twee though

I actually wanted buttonmoon as my username but it was gone, but I've never seen it on here

hormonesnomore · 29/09/2009 19:53

I'd really like to see a list of names that have been already taken so I don't accidentally choose one very similar & risk offending someone. Is it possible, because I don't know where to find it.

RustyBear · 29/09/2009 19:52

But the only time anyone's said they like my name was when I was AttilaTheMum...

And lots of my favourite names have been 'mum/dad' names - lulumama, MamaG, Mamazon, BamdOfMothers, UnquietDad, ABeteDad, spookymadmummy etc

gothicmama · 29/09/2009 19:51

for scottishmummy and others of a similar ilk

peggotty · 29/09/2009 19:46

Scottishmummy, your name is strangely at odds with your posting style anyway.

broguemum · 29/09/2009 19:44

OK, I'll remain a mum. But my name also has a literary angle to it.... aaargh, the dilema.

all us mamas.mums and mummy's need to stand together no exceptions no sychophantic bumlicky exceptions

Northernlurker · 29/09/2009 19:41

Mummydoit is wonderful and witty! Don't you dare name change
Other names such as mumtogorgeouslittlelambkin may be vile and vomit inducing but at least they are memorable and show a loving heart.

Personally I think we should ban all 'literary' names as they are exclusionist. Take that Eccentrica! Ha!

If you start on rhinos or trinitys I'm gonna open a can of whoop ass!

gothicmama · 29/09/2009 19:39

MummyDoIt · 29/09/2009 19:36

Thank you mwff. But I'm not MN Royalty so I guess the name has to go .

So, all you 'mummy name' haters. If you're banning my name, I challenge you to find me something wonderful and witty.

broguemum · 29/09/2009 19:35

So would it be OK if I became mroguebum?

scottishmummy · 29/09/2009 19:32

the spoonerisms are the funniest

Pluginbaby · 29/09/2009 19:32
