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!

Ahh I missed the name announcement. Very sweet. Congrats all round.

They the child would have been better off going with Seamus; Heaney sounds ridiculous as a first name.

Some surnames can work, that doesn't.

poor kid: Heaney, meeny, miny, moe

Definitely not worth the big hoo-ha. So disappointing.

Oh I actually sort of like it. Definitely not worth the email.
Made for a fun thread though Grin
