I wonder how people managed to name their babies before the MN was invented?

LaurieFairyCake · 16/06/2012 20:10

Really? 'Kai-lua'????? Honestly?!?

I may slink off to have a giggle then. Might have to sit on my hands though. Grin

Petsinmypudenda · 16/06/2012 20:17

It's bonkers people have so many opinions on a name.
'it's a shortened name don't do it'
'sounds like a hairdresser, would you be able to live with the shame of a working class name'

I've never heard such angst over nowt

kittyandthefontanelles · 16/06/2012 20:17

It makes me really angry. I should hide it really.

usualsuspect · 16/06/2012 20:19

It pisses me off too, I should hide it

manicbmc · 16/06/2012 20:20

Just tell them to call their baby 'Dave'. Grin

I blardy LOVE the baby name threads - I sit there with this face on Shock going "Really? Really?" at my computer screen.

But they only reflect real life - I do the baby imms clinic at work so see all the howlers; I met an Iran (pronounced Iron) Blue the other day.

manicbmc · 16/06/2012 20:22

I know a kid called Tiger Confused

CrumpettyTree · 16/06/2012 20:23

Bunty?

usualsuspect · 16/06/2012 20:24

Although the old lady/man names that poster love on there do make me cringe tbh.

StateofConfusion · 16/06/2012 20:24

Have you seen some of the comments on the baby name generator?

Some people are vile

Petsinmypudenda · 16/06/2012 20:24

I can trump everyone with a bizarre baby name

I've met a boy called 'favourite'

He has siblings too. They must hate him

Some of the comments on the baby names threads are vile

5inthebed · 16/06/2012 20:26

Kal-el was a noted humorous one, except that was for real - poor kid

manicbmc · 16/06/2012 20:32

Wasn't that what Nicholas Cage called his kid?
