Baby names!!

28 replies

SwagMumYourDumb · 10/09/2020 18:39

Hello, just wanted to know what everyone thought of these names! I'm expecting a little boy soon and have 2 names in mind. I just cant decide!!?! I quite like Ferdinand, but babatundae just catches my eye. The Dh likes these names, what's everyone else's opinions? Any suggestions would be appreciated! xx

In my experience you’re better off keeping names to yourself until baby arrives and you tell people that the baby is called “name”.
Otherwise there will always be people telling you they don’t like the name, whereas if you tell them when the baby is already here, they will rarely be so rude as to tell you they don’t like it.

Thank you for your advice! Do you have any name suggestions? Some that could fit both Ferdinand and babatundae? My first child is names Soy Suisse(his middle name) I'm not sure what names would match with him for his brother? Any suggestions please. xxx

This sounds like a wind up.

How about Prawn Dumpling as a name?

Sometimes a username gives away the fact that a thread is a wind up Confused

I think Bean goes nicely with your older ds name, nice and simpleGrin

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 11/09/2020 01:59

Balonz is timeless and goes with any surname.

Ilen · 11/09/2020 02:03

What about incorporating a grammar error in the name? It’ll be unique as a five-legged cat, I promise you.

I prefer mange tout, perhaps with Peckham as a middle name ?

I dont find it very funny @CloverHilla for calling my DS a soy bean!!! His first name is Soya, we call him Soy as a nickname! If you have any name suggestions for the little one that's on it's way, it would be appreciated

Eeek. This didn't take off the way you wanted did it OP?!

Has some naughty person been telling you how HILARIOUS you are

Ishihtzuknot · 11/09/2020 16:45

How about ketchup or mayonnaise to go with his brother soya sauce

NancysNutterButterCookies · 11/09/2020 17:10

@Ishihtzuknot

Ha. Ha. Very funny. You've made my DS very upset!!

Wishimaywishimight · 11/09/2020 17:58

How about John? It's a bit out there I know...

NancysNutterButterCookies · 11/09/2020 18:04

@Wishimaywishimight

Omg I love that name!! John Ferdinand for deffo!
Thank you very much!

Pogmella · 11/09/2020 18:05

Balonz or Smuffkin are on our list. Smuffkin is DH’s name for my private area so we think would be really romantic for a little girl x

CloverHilla · 11/09/2020 18:47

Name change fail @SwagMumYourDumb @NancysNutterButterCookies?????

Time waster...get a life Hmm

MrsWhites · 11/09/2020 19:04

How bored do you have to be to spend your time making up stuff like this! Genuinely interested, I can’t imagine anyone with an actual life finding something like this funny!

missmouse101 · 11/09/2020 19:07

If you are intending to say you are in your username, you need to write you're. The apostrophe indicates the missing letter. It looks utterly ridiculous the way you have written it.

YourDumb what?

YourDumb thread?

YourDumb user name?
