What is the name of my DS nursery friend?

[littlemissmoomoo]

DS is 2 nearly 3. His speach is (usually) very articulate. He has never really had "baby talk"

He has been talking about his new friend at nursery. He loves playing with her. He wants her to come for tea. That's great. Except he says her name is Pancake. Which obviously cannot be the case. So what is her name??

Haha! No idea, OP. I've tossed a few names around on my head but none of them sound plausible for a preschooler! I think the nursery staff would be your best bet.

*in my head. Must have had pancakes on the brain

I've been racking my brain but have no idea. Can you ask at nursery?

Is she Indian ? Maybe her name is Parteet?

He is adament it is pancake. We had them for lunch today and he said "Pancakes! Like my friend!"

I did wonder if she was Indian but she's got "long yellow hair"

Pancake it is then😂😂 now trying to think if I can get away making pancakes for dinner!!!

No clue!

I remember a similar thread from years ago in chat.

Annika maybe, something like that. Pancake is pretty cute though

Pankaya? It means lotus (sanskrit origin)
Pankita - it means one who is liberal (also sanskrit)

Maybe she is actually called Pancake. You only have to read some.threads on here to know that parents name their children all sorts of things.

I have the same issue! My DS tells me he played with his friend Sticker all day. No idea who this is, I've gone through all the kids in his class and nothing comes close to this! He gets really cross with me because I don't know who he's talking about lol.

Anneka?

My son when he started school had a ‘Collie’ in his class whom I later discovered was Macauley!

Maybe she's chosen that nickname for herself.

Do you think she could be an imaginary friend? Could be interesting at nursery pick up

I know of a little boy named Cricket. Can this be real? I don't know.

Ask the staff?

I think you'll have to ask the staff, yes.
If they don't have the first idea then you'll have to get your little boy to show you who he means!

Pandora? Tuesday?

Well... you'll never believe this... but the name really is Pancake!!!! Seriously. I went through his nursery newsletters.

This is all I can do without including other surnames or the school name.

Although I think I'd prefer Pancake to Keith

I'm basically hanging round for when you find out the answer Usually nurseries have the kids names somewhere, on their pegs or something, can you try and look?

My DS used to love playing with his best friend "Santa". Took me bloody ages to figure out it was 'Xander'!

No way, that's a very free flow name. My son was friends with Leather, I asked her her name, she said Leather. I asked her mum, Olivia.

Ha ha! I quite like it. Maybe she has another real name and has been Pancake since a baby so has Pancake as 'Preferred Name'. I do know another little girl like that.
My husband is known, and has always been known, by a normal man's name related to a famous character. That name doesn't appear anywhere on his birth certificate. Sounds strange but it's not when you know the full story which could be too outing so I can't tell you.

Pancake.

PANCAKE.

I’m more shocked at Keith!!

That’s your son isn’t it?
