To think that if I had abducted a child in a very high profile case a few years ago I would have at least changed the Childs name before going to the local play barn?

[Saw444]

was with a friends child who has the same name as abducted child.

Whenever I called her name people actually turned and started before whispering between themselves.

Talk about feeling awkward!

I actually feel for parents who have this on a daily basis ( not as much as the Childs family of course!)

Pudenda-Tuppance has a ring. Go on i dare you

Madeline/Maddy is one of my fav names, if anyone was staring it was probably because you were shouting. Or do people usually go around shouting at kids in these places where you live? They didn't used to, other than some excited raised childrens voices, when my kids were little. If I heard someone shouting, I would look over too.

This thread is a sad indictment, it really is.

pudenda tuppence has a ring.

That is a thread on parenting if every I heard one

I noticed my spelling mistake. Typing in Geordie again

I suggested F'Ann-Jo a few years ago
As far as I know no one has ever copied me and named their newborn DD it
:(

It doesn't have the Pudenda ring though Aitch

Did anyone ask if it was Irish

Such a feminine ring to it as well.

Apparently people read the thread title and saw:

"I abducted a child and took it to a play barn. everyone stared when I shouted it's name. AIBU to think I should have changed it?"

Too many mis-lit novels you guys.

It is hilarious how much confusion there was on the first page or two of this thread.

Also lol at Terry, Wait!

pmsl at Terry, wait! Who said that?
one for the morning I think

I didn't initially get Terry wait..

Ive just flipped over to babynames to see if page had put Pudenda-Tuppence on. Somone wants a strong female name. Nearly did it but i dropped my arse

probably for the best fifi

This thread has made me laugh so much.

If I ever have twin DD's they will be Pudenda and F'ann-Jo. LOVE IT!

AIBU to think that if I had abducted a child then took it to soft play I* would not immidiatly come on mumsnet to tell you guys about it? this thread is mental.

OP you are over thinking things. Genuinely.

The rest of you (or about 90% anyway) seriously. What the hell.

Actually. Not seriously I suspect.

No, not in the slightest. I mean, seriously? Hell no!

I hope not, slightly suspect most of you are drunk though. Would that be close enough to the truth?

Which part makes you suspect drunkenness exactly?

Are the humourless, slightly fucking stupid ones safely sober?

Or is the notion that a person calling the name Madeleine in a room full of children will be greeted with staring and whispering not worth mocking?

WHen did I say slight drunkeness was a bad thing? words of the like have never come out of my mouth. And they never shall.

I should have added a at the end. the makes it all ok.

always makes it ok.

I would like to be drunk. Sadly no.

Gawd, I can't believe there are still people not understanding what the OP is getting at. Bet she regrets starting this thread.

And just because other Mums of Madeleines haven't had such an experience, doesn't mean the OP can't have, or is making it up. I can well-imagine curtain-twitcher types having a nosy if such a name was called out. And the OP is exactly right - if you had abducted Maddie, you'd hardly take her to soft-play and call out her name - way to draw attention to yourself. *

• Not making light of what happened; just running with the OP's idea, before the professionally offended turn up and bollock me.
