oh dont need phonics to get snigger out of that mouthful
really?is that the name
and no one said eh hen theres a wee problemo

apparently not

What? Issac as opposed to Isaac - so is it pronounced i-saac with the I said like inside??

Well, I thought of Ella for a girl, but we would then be sending cards to people saying "Love from CRS, Mr CRS and Salmonella". These things need thought! Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Delphine is lovely. I stand corrected on Adele and Ferdinand!

no pronounced i suck

yes im juvenile i sniggered
heads up for that

- I'm not getting the Issac thing ...... obviously!

CRS - I was named after a dead relative who meant a lot to my parents - but that doesn't mean I can't hate my name. It does have the virtue of being unusual - but not in a good way. I soooo wanted to be a Susan/Fiona/Margaret/Isabelle/Maureen - and I don't even particularly like any of those names!! But they were normal IYSWIM??

Ahh - OK!!

some on e will gine you head up on it
cant cock it up once pointed out
its a mouthful alright

are you sara salmotrutta???

I meant - I've got a bit of a crap name too! I was sympathising! I'm sure you can guess the sensible name my son ended up with instead of Aloysious or Sebastian, or Jocelyn...

And Isaac Cox has to be as bad as Mike Hunt, surely??

I like Tristian & Seraphina, but would only ever given them as middle names.
I went to school with a Zeus (girl!) & a Thor. A woman in House of Fraser the other day was shouting at Venus for not behaving.

I don't know if this is snobbery, but I find it less strange/more understandable when the Huntinly-De Witts call their child Thaddius Tarquin the 3rd, compared to when a chav calls their kid Lambrini Chelsea Mercerdes

No - I like Sarah/Sara. They are not ugly names! The are just old good solid names. My name makes me shudder.
I actually remember telling my Mum I hated it - she was quite upset
My Dad would have been even more upset - but I have never told him I hated it.

Oh dear Salmotrutta! I am imagining Dorcas or Gertrude! At least it meant something to your parents and had thought and love behind it? Mine is just naff.

Oh God - I'm so dim naive - I just got the Isaac Cox thing!!!!

I just sent you a message, salmotrutta, explaining how bad MY name is!!

I know CRS - there was a lot of love behind it, and I hate that I hate it..... if that makes sense?
The relative was rather special (bright, beautiful, witty and well-beloved) so I feel I can't complain. Bit pointless anyway
And ........ it has smoothed the way in some respects. I don't get mixed up with others who have the same name!

Actually ..... I knew a Dorcas once and I don't dislike that name! She was a lovely person.

Ahh you're a love CRS!

Night, salmotrutta!

You'd have to go some to compete with the Rev. Ralph Tollemache.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Tollemache-Tollemache

To name just two of his 15 or so children:

Lyona Decima Veroica Esyth Undine Cyssa Hylda Rowena Adela Thyra Ursuala Ysabel Blanche Lelias Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache
and
Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache

I like how the first 1, and last 8 are all L names, but not the middle 6. Either stick with a first-letter theme or don't, man. Don't, preferably.

I am now considering several of those names, though. Florence Caroline, Edith Regina, Dora Agnes Ernestine, what's not to love?

Re: Alex james - I love Sable (or Sabel) I'm assuming it was after Sabel Starr, a famous groupie in '70s. Not too sure about beatrix though.
I've always hated 'Jayden'. Ugh.

Wolf? Oh dear, didn't they do their research? Adolf means Wolf - it was Hitler's nickname and the name of one of his dogs...
