"There was a kid called Ulysses on the school trip I once saw-the teacher was shouting at him."

What was the teacher saying? Please let it be: "For goodness sake, Ulysses, I can't understand a word you're on about!"

It was more 'Come here now Ulysses' Balloon. Me and DH were struck speechless for a while. Bet he couldn't write his name in Reception. Grin

can't imagine a baby called Brian, sorry Brian.

I bloody found the pissing in the bags in tescos thread.

It wasn't actually a row. I don't know why I remembered that. Perhaps it was another thread about piss (there was one about pissing in a tommee tippee cup iirc and that might have been a row Grin).

GetOrfMoiRing · 12/08/2012 15:51

Lol at Lettice and Ashleigh.

What about Giles?

I also snogged a Gideon once.

I dislike (immensely) Martin. My three closest friends each have one Shock. I also think Robert is dreadful.

Ben Miller is a Bennet. Now that's posh.

thebestisyettocome · 12/08/2012 15:56

Ben is drippy but ds1 has a mate called Benedict who is very cool and not at all posh. We used to live next to a Tim and he was wetter than a blanket left out in the garden during an English summer.

BrianCoxIsUpTheDuff · 12/08/2012 15:57

Ben Miller isn't drippy.

I'd do him

Malcolms always will have a tissue up their sleeve and still say mummy, even when they are 40.

carlywurly · 12/08/2012 15:58

Martin's are creepy, Paul's are philanderers. Ben's are lovely, well liked blokes. Ime.

DeathByChocolate01 · 12/08/2012 15:58

Nathan has dandruff and picks his nose less subtly than he thinks. Max is stocky and boisterous like a Staffie dog. Benedict is so pale you can see blue veins under his skin. He faints at the sight of blood, and is described by his mother as an "indigo child". Neil cries when he steps on an ant, but enjoys pushing people over and will be expelled for setting fire to the cloakroom.

thebestisyettocome · 12/08/2012 16:01

That description of a Benedict couldn't be further from the truth if ds1's mate is anything to go by.

akaemmafrost · 12/08/2012 16:03

I like Ben.

Worst boys name is Louis pronounced Lou-ee, just sounds so drippy and ineffectual.

peanutMD · 12/08/2012 16:04

My sister is a Jaimee is it wet for a girl?, don't like it for a boy though :o

Speaking of stupid nn i.e Maddie-Moo

One of my very close friends has 3 dd's:
Ela-Roo, Lily-pop and Mikayla-boo... Why, why, why?? There is just no need for it!

Oh I remember having a Stefan in my class at school he was a bit creepy, also Hugh's tend to be sleazy in my opinion.

There's a Morris round here. He's about 5. Always makes me laugh smile.

Subarashii · 12/08/2012 16:11

I snogged a Jamie, a Gerald and three (three!) Tobys at school.

This thread reads like my dating history :o

3littlewomen · 12/08/2012 16:11

I have a lovely cousin called Ben, he is fabulous, artistic and great fun. A guy who you would want onside in a crisis.... The name Ben really suits him and I really like it.

Also have BIL Tim, a weedy insecure drip of a man! Hate the name, but he lives up to it!

Max is stocky and boisterous like a Staffie dog Grin.
My DS Max would make a racing fit greyhound look chubby.

Love Josh but not Joshua or worse Joshi
