This is all light hearted, because of course I wouldn't repeat this to my friend, but I can't help but bloody feel for her girls! Grin

No word of a lie, the girls are going to be called Chummy and Bonnie! AIBU to say these names are a bit.. Something?

Bonnie is ok. Chummy is terrible!

SchnooSchnoo · 18/12/2015 21:08

Are they actually born yet?

MitzyLeFrouf · 18/12/2015 21:09

When people get them mixed up poor old Chummy will come off worst again. Connie and Bummy.

I know a baby Bonnie. That's passable.

Chummy is fucking stupid, to put it mildly.

CoffeeCoffeeAndLotsOfIt · 18/12/2015 21:10

Bonnie is lovely. Chummy is not.

Nothing wrong with Bonnie, but Chummy. WTAF is she thinking of. She's not by any chance on glue is she.

MamaLazarou · 18/12/2015 21:11

Chummy!

Bonnie is quite cute (little girl out of Toy story 3, anyone?)
But Chummy... Just no!

To be fair, I dislike Bonnie on an equal level.

But at least Bonnie will be spared the piss take, more or less

Poor Chummy. Maybe she'll change her mind once they're born.

Mrsfrumble · 18/12/2015 21:17

Chummy is one of those names where I want to say to the offending mother; if you think it's so great, why don't you change your name to Chummy and see how much fun it is, rather than inflict it on a poor innocent child?

It's just so cruel, especially when her sister will have a relatively normal name.

HamaTime · 18/12/2015 21:21

I think of bonny as 'pretty' but where I live now (S Yorks) it seems to mean fat

Chummy isn't a name. It's just a sound you will have to repeat until the other person is too embarrassed to ask again and then you will see them avoiding using the 'name'

MitzyLeFrouf · 18/12/2015 21:21

mrsfrumble Chummy would go well with your name. Chummy Frumble.

Sounds like some sort of filthy sex act.

'Fancy coming around the back of Morrison's for a chummy frumble?'

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 18/12/2015 21:22

I like Bonnie on its own. However, with Chummy, it really sounds like Boney and Chummy, which makes me think the parents have a serious love of dog-type foods Confused.

Roast!? Shock

KateUpton · 18/12/2015 21:24

Mitzy FFS WOMAN, YOU HAVE MADE ME NIGHT!

Chummy is growing on me actually.

HeartShapedBox · 18/12/2015 21:25

Well, she's taking a risk with Bonnie ( what if her daughters err, not? ) but Chummy is just fucking stupid. Poor kid!

Notimefortossers · 18/12/2015 21:25

They're twin HOMO SAPIEN girls

Lol! Grin

Ed1tY0urPr0f1le · 18/12/2015 21:26

Bonnie wouldn't be my choice but it's not the worst name ever.

But Chummy?? Nooooooooo!!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 18/12/2015 21:27

Connie and Bummy. Love it.

Talking about Connie,. Connie and Bonnie would be yes very twee, but equally as sweet and adorable

Mrsfrumble · 18/12/2015 21:31

Ooh, Mitzy, I feel a name change coming on Grin
