To think that a woman the other day had given her DC incredibly poncy names?

[onmyhols]

Artemis and Montgomery.

One or the other but both together was a bit much I thought.

Apologies if you are an MNer and you read this.

Of course I haven't. Why would I? I grew up in North London. There was a Tiger in my brother's class

I shagged a Tristan many moons ago,he wasn't posh.

Name name though.

Awful freecyclers, dreadful ear-piercers, wedding gift nerve and ghastly children's names. No cliche left unturned on Mumsnet today

And a Gandalf

Tristan! Not a poncey name surely?

Araminta definitely (although I confess to liking it) but the only reference to that name I have ever heard is from Tristan and Isolde.

Well I've learned something new. Next you'll be telling me Alfie and Jade are posh too.

TondelayoSchwarzkopf, you forgot awful tesco check out staff and dreadful dogs

Hey, but no-one saw anyone give their 3 month old a gregg's sausage roll on the bus. So there's hope yet.

Poncy names? Yes. But if she can afford the school fees, so what?

Actually I like poncy names, but can't afford the school fees, so have stuck with names in the top 100 so they don't get beaten up at the state comp.

Might be a 'you are disgusting for breastfeeding on the bus/in the cafe thread' later .theres still time

mn cliches and stock phrases are mn lifeblood

so do you have to be a ponce to have poncy names?

i knew an aramis, is that poncy? or just a muskateer?

btw rnb you and your dc are beeyootiful

oh and tristan is sooo not poncy round here

SM I wouldn't have it any other way

love a good mn cliché i do,adds frisson to thread

ned doesnt travel well.scotland ned=plooky bawbag. posh down sarf ned=mc chatterati

heard in Waitrose a few days ago, 'Oh Arabella, absolutely not! The pasta must be organic. Where is Hugo? No, the Walker's crisps are dreadful. The Burt's Devon ones, please...'

So flame me. Yes, I laughed judged.

Err Walkers FTW ...I hope you put her Straight

ilovemydog

That was me.

I hate walkers,cheap shit crisps with hardly any in the packet.

We only have organic pasta.Shoot me!

Didn't have those names though.

posh crisps?surely an oxymoron

See, thing is, I just wanted to shout: 'You are talking out loud!

They are my children-How dare you start a thread mocking them!
And don't think I don't know who you are
