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?

OP - we can't judge until you tell us the name. However, I do think you should tell them, or perhaps just one of the couple quietly, or if you have their e-mail address, send a link to the cbeebies programme website...

MaryWestmacott · 25/05/2014 16:33

oh if it is Rapids Johnson, please don't do anything to put htem off the name!

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2014 16:38

OP you don't actually have to tell us the name
Just say whether it's been on this thread or not
and maybe give us the initials backwards
then I'll start another thread in chat about "cartoon characters that anoy you most" for some idle speculation
