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??

Chaos is an awesome name! It would suit my DS to a tee.

He came home from Reception talking about his new friend Garage. Turned out to be Gareth. But Gin at nursery really was called Gin! (She's Chinese).

Pancake is a daft name that parents think will be so cute but they forget that cute little children have to grow up.

Panka.

DD has a friend called Hatchimal, who everyone else calls Fatima.

Love the idea of a little Pancake.

Sibling Maple-Syrup?

I’d guess it’s a pet name, no harm if she likes it.

Keith is an awful name! It needs to die out along with Barry.

Ds has a best friend in reception called Three Horn. When I pushed a bit more he said it was short for Three Horned...

Turned out it was Rehan - luckily his mum became a good friend and recognised that ds adored his friend rather than being malicious about his name but ds didn’t even believe her that the name was Rehan not Three Horn.

DD was sure her friend was called Paignton like the seaside resort. It was Peyton.

Patrick?

DGS (age 7 with intermittent hearing problems) said there was a boy in his class called Lucy and explained that his parents didn't know if he was a boy or a girl when he was born (!). The boy is called Lewis and has always been a boy.

I think Keith and similar names are making a bit of a comeback because they want they’re dc to be named after their dgf

Wow!

This thread has made me really laugh. DS has a nursery teacher called Hisibah. It confused me for months. Elizabeth. She’s called Elizabeth.

Try and guess how many times I got my godson to tell me his reception class teacher's name before my friend told me it was actually Mrs Foottit

Am loving Orson being referred to as Awesome

I'm feeling my age (60) now. To me, Keith and Peter are perfectly ordinary names. Pancake is not!

DD was about 3 when she kept talking about Awesome Vinegar, 'that man who's something about football'.

She meant Arsene Wenger

My DD came home from dance saying she'd made 2 friends called Esha. Given I hadn't ever met any at that point in my life I thought it highly unlikely both had the same name in the same small (20) class. But turns out 1 was Esha and one was Nesha so to be fair they're pretty identical in sound!

But Pancake I did hear Tuppence at soft play once.

When dd was in year 7 she had a Keith and a Barry in her year.

My son had a friend called Lemonade but disappointingly she turned out to be called Renee.

I was looking at a list of teenagers' middle names the other day and it was wall to wall Margarets, Annes, Alans and Johns. I asked them and they were named after grandparents.

Keith is an awful name! It needs to die out along with Barry.
Aww, that's so unfair. Poor Bazzer.

This thread has made me LOL

I really like Keith as a name not shocked at Pancake but I wouldn't have done it.

I hope the baby Paul mentioned earlier has a brother called Barry so they can be known as the Chuckle Brothers.

Dd had a friend called elephant at nursery. He moved to school a year before her, on the first day she started school she dashed excitedly up to him shouting elephant, elephant. Unfortunately for dd, he was a big lad and it didn’t go down well.

Dd and Elliot can at least laugh about it 6 years on 😁
