I don't want Anna's bottle. It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable drinking from a bottle with some else's name on it.

I haven't seen one with Mardy on it yet.

I have ti say it was marketing genius. Got everyone talking about it, even here on a website for grown up with proper things to think about. teenagers must be going mad over it

I was drinking out of Jonathan for a whole day last week...felt like I'd cheated on DH so I peeled the label off before I got home.

DeathByTray · 05/07/2013 14:05

list of names

There you go Stealth.

I'm not on it Sad

StealthPolarBear · 05/07/2013 14:11

Whole family on excpt ds :(

DeathByTray · 05/07/2013 14:12

Aw boo! Sad

They keep adding more though so keep a look out.

BeccasBridesmaid · 05/07/2013 14:22

My name is fairly uncommon, and the spelling is unusual, so I never find anything with my name on, ever :-(

GeeWhizz · 05/07/2013 17:10

I don't even like coke but I'm still annoyed that my name isn't there. See that DH has now been added now though.

ThisReallyIsNotSPNopeNotAtAll · 05/07/2013 17:14

I have a bottle with my name on it.

i also have had a a Adam, Kevin, Emmanuel, Helen, David and a Sophie.

I feel like a right hussy

crazyhamsterdisguisedasahippo · 05/07/2013 17:22

SP Grin

Its the first time I have ever seen my name on anything , I was well excited until I searched everywhere in my entire town & can't bloody find one Angry

eltsihT · 05/07/2013 17:53

My boys have Icelandic names so no cola bottles for them.

However we got family to bring over their names on bottles, have been enjoying drinking the much more syrupy cola, boys are 6weeks and 2 years so too little to drink it themselves.

ThisReallyIsNotSPNopeNotAtAll · 05/07/2013 17:56

My son is one of those who will never find anything with his name in a shop. Not even those super tacky but great cups on bright colours and bubble writing Grin

munchtum · 05/07/2013 17:57

My son was appalled when I presented him with a Hannah the other day, his friend equally horrified to receive an Ashley.

crazyhamsterdisguisedasahippo · 05/07/2013 18:11

My Ds is the same as he has a Greek name but spelled different so will never find anything much to his disappointment thank god Grin

QuintessentialOldDear · 05/07/2013 18:12

This is destiny telling you to stop drinking coke, Mardy.

pumpkinsweetie · 05/07/2013 18:17

No cola bottle names for any of my family, except dh-our names must be uniqueGrin

TheMagicKeyCanFuckOff · 05/07/2013 18:31

I drunk a Pooja on Thursday...

My name doesn't come on a can. Only DS' does.

RaisingChaotic · 05/07/2013 18:34

Grin I prefer my come in a can

No Chaotic though Hmm

Ds and dd both have their names on the list, not surprising wrt to dd as her name is everywhere. My rl name is also there, having recently been added Wink

WendyHayes · 05/07/2013 18:57

I don't think putting names on is such a great idea other than to encourage people to buy! The psychology there: Oh! Look! There's my name! Better buy it! That's what the Marketing Department want us to do! I don't even like the stuff! Been told there are some strange things in it and that Diet Coke is worse! Neither the best for our health!

wharrgarbl · 05/07/2013 19:32

Hah, the whole family is there - pity we don't live in the UK.

theoriginalmrsc · 05/07/2013 19:34

I feel sorry for the person trying to put it on the shelf while everyone is trying to find their name. I keep getting customers asking me to look in the stockroom for a bottle with their name on it.

mamamiaow · 05/07/2013 20:24

Here's the answer to avoid all this upset: Irn Bru Fanny Wink

Housemum · 05/07/2013 20:42

One of Wham's backing singers will never find her name on a coke bottle!

DD3 is going to have to wait till our holiday - I was sad enough to check the French coca cola site and her name is out there!

Teawithatwix · 05/07/2013 22:10

My husband said I was the only person to not want to drink a John or Lucy, I've stuck a big avery label with my name on my tango :)

oohay282820 · 06/07/2013 04:07

I have a bottle with my name on and I've kept it so I can keep putting coke into it from other bottles! Before this though it had cut down on my consumption as it feels wrong to drink someone else's...

singaporeswing · 06/07/2013 05:14

DBro's name there and DSis' name has just been added. Nothing for me, DDad or DMum...obviously too unique.

DP's whole family is on there except his mum.

They have gone for some really bizarre names in the new intake - why not put a brand new name up instead of Rachel/Rachael and Jonathan/Jonathon?
