to think this is unfair?

[itsSantanaLopez]

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!

He he exactly

A former colleague kept the whole office on tenterhooks for three weeks while she and her DH considered names for her DC3. Big reveal to 400 people via round robin email - Thomas . Apparently it took ages to decide what would best go with the names of DC1 and 2 - Jack and Katie .

If not Pingu, then your friend is going for Thomas - Mark my words.

Oi, it's spelled "Taliesin" and is an historic literary welsh name.

Bet he'll be called Joffrey or some such shizzle.

It's going to be something that childless people think is edgy but name geeks those of us who encounter lots of children will find far less startling.

Oscar, Lucas, Dexter, Felix - something like that.

The only appropriate response in these situations would be "Fuck me, that's hideous." HTH.

< gets comfy >

So only a month to wait

They've combined bits of their own names.

Well it's either awful or they know some rude people!

Oh no how funny and passive aggressive

The only appropriate response in these situations would be "Fuck me, that's hideous." HTH.

Ok my guess is pawl or gorje shameless placemArking

Trevor or Keith. Both shockers of names that deserve 'fuck me that's hideous'. Also Brian.

Horatia!

A close friend of mine did this a couple of years back. Announced it was a boy, but made a huge song and dance of keeping his name strictly under wraps until the birth. Lots of speculation ensued, just as she'd intended presumably. Six long months later, they announced they'd named him....

Dying to know what it is now! My money is on Bagwash!

Shameless place mark

Ohhh I'm dying to know... Hope she goes early!

Jesus

YouTheCat I was a naughty girl - but they let me back in

OP you are unkind and thoughtless!
How can you do this to us with a MONTH to go!!!
Aaaargh!
My money is on Bilbo Baggins.

bloody hell - that's a bit precious isn't it?!?!?!
i like the name Niven but it's not particularly odd.

perhaps they're going to call him Subway and hope for sponsorship for life. gutted that i missed that opportunity for my son

Oh bugger, i need to know now!

Ohh I really have to know! I would love for it to be a completely outlandish Game of Thrones name. I'm lucky, I've only ever had to deal with one appalling name announcement. The tongue-biting and thumb-twitching is terrible!

Me too Gordy!

It better be good after such a pretentious announcement!

Marmaduke Stickleback Crumplington. Pronounced "John".
