Name stealing?

my brother's best friend has just named his newborn the same name as my brother's son- who is four years old. Now I know that it is a compliment, but it's the way in which he conducted himself. He didn't consult with my brother, didn't even tell him his baby had been born a week ago. My brother heard from a friend. When he rang to congratulate him, and asked the baby's name, he commented it was nice that he had named him after his son: but his best friend had the audacity to say he didn't like the name at all, it was his girlfriend's choice, also he wasn't aware that my brother's son had that name, although he had an inkling! He said they consulted baby name books, etc. My brother is understandably upset and feels betrayed. We, as a family, feel my brother's pain. But are we being terribly unreasonable, or are we justified in our emotions?

Google one man one jar, but make sure you have the sound on

Please, please, please!!!!

What were the twists and turns? Whose baby was it really? Where did the girlfriend travel to/from and how pregnant was she and why? And what was the name? And what were the best sweary bits?

ShirleyKnot · 01/09/2011 11:46

God, I hate it when MNHQ come onto a thread and I've been talking about arse sex or cocks or something.

It always makes me feel really guilty.

BaronessBomburst · 01/09/2011 11:48

ShirleyKnot Would it help if I offered to spank you? Grin

southmum · 01/09/2011 11:48

ihatecbeebies · 01/09/2011 11:52

**me not my

TandB · 01/09/2011 11:52

So what do we think the name was?

I think it probably had a yooneek spelling, hence all the angst.

My vote goes to "Tah'kwinn'.

ShirleyKnot · 01/09/2011 11:53

I guess some people just don't like pictures of fluffy kittehs

DuelingFanjo · 01/09/2011 11:54

ah BAH. how did I miss this? what did the OP write that was so bad, I really want to know!

Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 11:55

Awwwwww man, who told the grown ups? Somebodies being a tittle tittle tattle tale! Now I can't even remember what the deleted messages said! Was it any of the good bits (aside from CrownJewels), does anyone remember? I am pregnant and have baby brain. I think I may have to flounce in a Kevin and Perry style......

Pannda, no OP lots of dragon butter, blue waffle, and a mention of a website that I think has been deleted.....will pm you the deleted one, or at least what I think it was....

Kayano · 01/09/2011 11:56

Omg one of my posts was deleted! Shock!
It was just a quick general recap :S

ihatecbeebies · 01/09/2011 11:56

Yes kittens, cute little kittens, they just caught me off guard there, I have now sent the picture of the...ahem....kittens.....to DP so he can be taken aback by the horror cuteness too.

TheOriginalFAB · 01/09/2011 11:57

No idea why mine was deleted unless it was because I quoted the OP who was being very about me.

Safe to say it wasn't very nice.

Grin
Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 11:57

Other people have said it pannda.....IT WAS GOATSE.......I shall await to be deleted.

FWIW I don't think it was troll hunterish. Was it?

ShirleyKnot · 01/09/2011 12:01

In some of the OP's subsequent, and now deleted, posts she apeared to be of the opinion that the people on this thread...

I don't want to get deleted...

That some people on the thread, and I suppose by extention, the whole of mumsnet...are women of low morality, class, taste and appearance. She opinied that it was likely that princesses should be banned and was greatly interested in the legalities of..well, lots of things really.

She was great.

Georgimama · 01/09/2011 12:03

why do I always miss the good stuff?

RustyBear · 01/09/2011 12:03

Maybe the OP was Cleverbot - mumsnetters have been talking to it for quite a while now, so it's probably picked up quite a choice vocabulary...

southmum · 01/09/2011 12:04

oh yea Shirley, sorry, youre right, I just cant stand kittens. Especially the one that was 'yawning', you could see right down its throat

ihatecbeebies · 01/09/2011 12:04

She also said we named all our children...or we were all named after Confused ...our pet dogs, and some lawyers had to be consulted as apparently this was all illegal (or legal I can't really remember).

Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 12:05

Aaaaah CrownJewels. She and her views of us shall never be forgotten!

I think a tribute thread would be fitting under these circumstances where we could all sit cross legged and reminisce her insults.....

MNHQ I am of course just kidding....don't delete me please, I am not ready to go to the deleted posters place in the sky. :)

knittedbreast · 01/09/2011 12:07
