I saw this online and it made me think (and laugh)

Names that arent names but sound like pretty names if they didnt mean what they meant..

Felony for a girl
Clarity for a girl
Gilette for a boy
Mouse i feel is girly 😂
Laundry def a girl
Tragedy
Cyst 😂😂😂

Any others?

Orally is beautiful 😭

I met someone who said her name was Orally. At least that is what it sounded like. It was actually spelt Aurelie. She was from France.

Juicer - boy

I'm loving some of these! Imagine the christenings! 😀😁

I still maintain that the best ever Mumsnet baby name suggestion has to be Hugoslavia. Or Balonz.

I know Canasta is a card game but I always think it sounds like a nasty vaginal type of disease.

Serendipity is my fantasy baby girl name. I blame Neighbours in the 80s/90s who had a character called it. I love it
