Friends of ours are due their first baby any day soon. They've sent a email and announced the sex and said that they will announce the name when baby is born.

BUT

They've also the name 'will surprise everyone' and 'we'd appreciate it if you don't make any comments that aren't positive- this is our decision'.

What the fuck have they named this child? I am DYING to know. It's just unfair!

Constantine is on our choice list for next DS Jigsawlady.

Caitlin - so people who choose 'classic' names are pretentious? you sound charming...and very wrong and rude.

I'm going with Englebert.

Or,it could be what is classed as a 'chavvy' name by some so they're concerned about digs.

My son has an unusual name,I didn't warn people lol

Caitlin17 · 05/01/2014 15:48

Mrs K read what I said. The sort of people who make this sort of announcement are pretentious. So please be careful who you are calling rude.

Ptolemy. Or Adolf.

persimmon · 05/01/2014 16:14

or Rocknroll.

MrsKoala · 05/01/2014 16:18

I love Ptolemy, but i knew a right wanker called it and it has really put me off.

ThePearShapedToad · 05/01/2014 16:39

Bertimous-Von-Higglespurt?

StairsInTheNight · 05/01/2014 18:29

Cthulu?

helenthemadex · 05/01/2014 19:21

Jason, Pythagoras, Hercules or Heptarian if they are Atlantis fans

Merlin or Arthur

PointlessOP · 05/01/2014 19:52

I reckon Benedict, Mungo, Horatio or Dave

scarletforya · 05/01/2014 20:17

I hope it's Scooby.

Caitlin17 · 05/01/2014 20:29

StairsIntheNight I hope it is Chthulu. It'd be great to know how to pronounce it. One of the (many) reasons I gave up on Lovecraft was being fed up of the unpronounceable names.

bouncingbelle · 05/01/2014 22:38

My bets are..

Ignatious
Columbus
Princegeorge
Buddy
Bear
Strummer

StairsInTheNight · 05/01/2014 22:56

Or Yog Shoggoth Caitlin? Grin imagine the christening...

Zalgo?

RunRabbit · 05/01/2014 23:09

Is it wrong I like some of the names on this thread? Blush

OpalMoonstone · 05/01/2014 23:18

Can't wait to find out the name, but we may have to wait nearly a month, or more if she goes overdue
