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!

That shouldn't have happened

Anyway. If it's Rupert or Gideon then please please send him the tiniest pair of red trousers you can find?

Alfred Wilfred Percival Brian?

maybe they're going to do what Prince did and use, not letters, but symbols.

I therefore predict he will be called:

@&$£

(and you'll all have to avoid saying "hehe not only is that ridiculous but it also looks like ARSE")

@&$£ is interesting- are we pronouncing that
@-&$£ or is it @&$-£?

Norbert would be good!

Rudolph?
Humperdinck?
nelson Mandela?

without knowing what type they are its hard to know. definitely update us!!

Marks place here...my money's on Alfonso Toast-wrack the 3rd esq.

Don't hold your breath.

It'll turn out to be something like Louis, or Theo, or Oscar.

A nice name that no one had when they were at school so they think it's really, really unusual. Unique even.

Not realising that there'll be three in his class when he starts school.

(One of my friends did this. She didn't make it a big secret and have a surprise reveal but she called her DD a name that made me go: "Oh. That's nice" and wonder why she had chosen such an "extremely fashionable at the moment" name. A year or so later she remarked to me that they had chosen it carefully and thought it was very unusual and were extremely disappointed that there turned out to be so many others.)

I would be disappointed with anything other than a completely ridiculous name.

That happened to a friend of ours BalloonSlayer. The year that every other girl was called Matilda.

They ended up being very inventive with a nickname.

I reckon it's Hodor.

Hodor hodor hodor hodoooooor!

Love Hodor.

End of January

Legolas or gimli or something like that is my bet.

But please please please op do what previous poster has suggested and respond once name announce with "oh - I thought it would be unusual. I know 4 boys called gollum."

Marmaduke. Or it'll be given a name usually given to the opposite gender.

Susan?

Englebert?

Shrek? Will-I-Yam? By the way, if I'd been born a boy I'd have been named 'Adolf'. I was born in 1942 ...

But please please please op do what previous poster has suggested and respond once name announce with "oh - I thought it would be unusual. I know 4 boys called gollum."

I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face!

If it's a girl then it could use that classic from Swallows and Amazons and call her Titty. Or perhaps Fanny from the Famous Five.

By the way, if I'd been born a boy I'd have been named 'Adolf'. I was born in 1942 ...

Oh dear. You aren't German, are you?

Go on then. I will say it. Cut her some slack. It is her PFB. She thinks NO other baby has ever been born or will be as eagerly as awaited as hers .

Lucas is my suggestion.

fabulous name, btw.

No, itsSantanaLopez, I'm British - my father was Dutch and his big brother was called 'Adolf'. Still ...don't think tact was his strong point

Smaug?

Kermit?
Burt Fertsnerfler?
Piewacket?
Pob?

Just gotta mark my place!
