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.

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.

Aquamarine1029 · 14/06/2023 00:09

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