Friends are having their first DC soon. We were talking about names and one that they had settled on is the name of a character from a very well known kids TV show. Think Peppa Pig, Thomas the Tank Engine, Fireman Sam.

First name and surname the same, BTW.

Obviously they don't have DC so they don't watch kids TV yet. I wanted to tell them but DH said it would be really rude. Maybe in a few years this show won't be watched as much, but it's pretty popular so idk.

Who is BU?

I'll have a fiver on Norman Price.

If I was ever unlucky enough to end up with children somehow, I would call them Thomas or Dora. That way you can get 'personalised' clothing.

TiggyD, if you think it would be unlucky for you to 'end up with children somehow', why are you on MN? Not saying you can't be, of course, but what an odd thing to say on a parenting website.

You are definitely going to have to tell us now.

MetellaEstMater · 25/05/2014 14:53

Surely the names from Thomas and Peppa (I've not seen a Fireman Sam) are just normal names, Thomas, Henry, George, Suzy, Freddie etc.!? I'm a bit confused.
