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!

I am positive they're not MNers.

there as a "geronimo" who once rang chris moyles for carpark catchphrase (or something similar).

chris - what's your name?
geronimo - geronimo.
chris - really?!?!?!? what do you shout when you go down a water slide? "dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"??????

i'm still laughing (mildly) years later.

ooh i'm sure it wasn't the intention, but i'm getting some name ideas for next DS from this thread! Cheers all. Keep them coming - We quite like Titus. Grin

Raahh · 02/01/2014 20:06

I was at university with an utterly gorgeous Titus.

Sadly, he knew it .Grin

At the moment the forerunner for us is Trajan. But i don't like Tray as a nn.

Oh OP if it's Trajan, let me know all the snidey comments so i can prepare myself if we choose it! Grin

DS1 wanted to call DS2 Pingu Grin

MrsKoala · 02/01/2014 20:16

I have a feeling my cousin changed his middle name to Pingu (he may have just been pulling my leg). He certainly uses it as his name on Facebook tho.

StairsInTheNight · 02/01/2014 20:38

Perhaps its Sherlock. Or Keanu?

TheLostPelvicFloorOfPoosh · 02/01/2014 20:44

Ooh I bet they went baby shopping, saw the most adorable cuddly cat toy and decided to name the baby.......Schrödinger.

AndHarry · 02/01/2014 23:34

It has to be Cuthbert.

KareKare · 04/01/2014 19:15

I've just been watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in which one of the women has a son named Cross.

She then got very arsey when someone heard the name & went Confused

So I hope it's Cross or something equally twatty.

NynaevesSister · 04/01/2014 19:29
