to give DD a name relating to occupation

[VAVAV00M]

I'm an optician, think on naming DD Iris. Didn't make the connection until it was pointed out. What would you think of this? I'm a huge workaholic you see

love it!

Iris is great name, really like it - my husband is a bank robber and our son is called Nick

Not sure

There's a name I have always loved, and a particular shortened version I would have used for everyday use. That shortened version is now also the common abbreviation of a drug I tell people to prescribe about 5 or 6 times every day. I couldn't use it for a name, people would fall around laughing

Like it!

I know a teacher whose son is called Mark and a woman who works in the bank has a daughter named Penny.

It's a great name. I honestly wouldn't have connected it to a job unlike Tylers, Tailors and the rest.

That is actually why I do not like this name. Always thinking of eyes rather than flowers.

My husband is a carpenter, our son is called Jesus.

Love the name Iris, and probably wouldn't have made the connection either.

If I have anymore children, I'm going to call them something midwifery related, like ovary :)

Love it - I'm a jewellery designer and didn't realise until after dc2 was born thatI'd named them both jewellery-related names!

Great idea! If I have another dd I'm going to call her summer (I'm an accountant!)

I'm a childminder. DD is called Playdoh and DS is called Ofsted.

I'd not thought about it until now.

NB: this may not be factually correct

Tyler the roofers son.

Taylor the seemstress daughter (or son)

2beornot Great idea! If I have another dd I'm going to call her summer (I'm an accountant!)

Or LastPeriod.

Hahahahahaaaa! The significance of the name Flisspaps has just occured to me.

Call her Marigold and hope she does?

I used to know a archaeologist called Doug.

Still trying to work out The SmallPenguins drug.

I think you work far to hard get out more

I was only saying to Itchy Minge this morning that I can't wait for Chlamydia to be born.

I work in IT

It doesn't bother my DS print or DD, Terpaper

I work at a rabit sanctuary - DS is called Warren :)

Lovely name, YANBU.
DS was born in December, the Christmasiness of his name was only pointed out to me after we registered his name...

Rudolph?

I know a travelling salesman with a son called Oliver
