Fabulous names

Mrsjayy · 21/06/2021 15:52

@VladmirsPoutine I can imagine how overfrothy that was !

@CovidCorvid

Now Lightening bolt I get. But you don't get a bolt of thunder do you...it's a clap of thunder, so not sure Thunder Bolt works.

But I quite like them all. Obviously only for his kids, not for normal people! :)

Thunderbolt and lightening Very, very frightening

Or the film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

And the fact that auto thingy recognises thunderbolt

It is a word, honest, it's the same thing as a lightening bolt, based in Indo-European mythology.

LittleDidSheKnow · 21/06/2021 16:55

Of course thunderbolt is a word! Confused

LittleDidSheKnow · 21/06/2021 16:56

Sorry, that face wasn't at you, @CuriousaboutSamphire but at those who think there's no such thing as a thunderbolt!

Oh and thanks for today's earworm.

My brain is watching my reflection in the chrome as I type 😀

He can call his kid whatever he wants.
It's Lightning when referring to a weather phenomenon.
Lightening is to make something paler/brighter.

Marguerite2000 · 21/06/2021 17:41

I like all these names. They sound cool and strong.
Posters who think kids are bullied for having unusual names are a bit behind the times.

Hellocatshome · 21/06/2021 17:45

Olympia Lightning Bolt is by far the best name I have ever heard in my life. Saint Leo and Thunder are fine but will never match their sister in the brilliant name stakes. They are perfectly fine names and if the want to change then when they are older they can people need to stop worrying what others are doing. Live and let live.

Mrsjayy · 21/06/2021 17:50

Olympia lighting is a bloody amazing name.

OverByYer · 21/06/2021 18:03

Olympia Lightning is going to be one cool girl

RosieLemonade · 21/06/2021 18:40

I have worked in primary for 10 years. Ks1 and Ks2. I have come across all sort of unusual names. The children could not care less. I've never even known it to be mentioned.

Janaih · 21/06/2021 18:50

If Usain bolt is your dad then you're automatically in the cool kid club.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 21/06/2021 18:56

Can someone help with a memory mystery...

I'm pretty sure at the last Olympics Usain Bolt had baby twins. As he only has three children, I'm presuming it was another medalist... But who?

Or am I imagining a sprinter winning two gold's, one for each twin?

Janaih · 21/06/2021 18:58

Mo farah?

Mo Farah has twin girls.
Ozanj · 21/06/2021 19:01

Lol all very Harry Potter esque. I love it

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 21/06/2021 19:02

That's it! Mo Farah!

Good luck to Usain and his partner. 3 little ones.

RowanAlong · 21/06/2021 19:31

Oh come on, he’s Usain Bolt, his kids will be speedy and cool too. They need cool and speedy names!

VladmirsPoutine · 21/06/2021 19:37

I think there's going to be another change in which names like 'Blaze' and 'Cannon' go out of fashion and we all start calling our dc 'Sharon' and 'Gertrude'. These things go in cycles but wrt Usain Bolt there's no way his kids were ever going to be called Robert James Bolt

DinosApple · 21/06/2021 19:42

I think the names are awesome. They're going to be some pretty cool kids.
But yes Olympia Lightning is by far the coolest name of the three.

MistySkiesAfterRain · 21/06/2021 21:19

I love them all.

GreenBiro · 21/06/2021 21:29

Nooo! I was hoping for a baby Nuttand as wellGrin

NeedToKnow101 · 21/06/2021 21:42

I love their names!
