I know, taat are bad but I need to know what went on there. I looked at around midday and all was fine, looked just now and it was gone.

What went wrong?

There's one still there on Baby Names - it's very odd. Usually starts with an unusual name that most posters don't like and then announces that it's an angel baby. There's been loads over the last few weeks.

Makes me stop and think about sharing photos of my baby online though. The thought some weirdo troll might use her photo for some sort attention.

Draw eyebrows on 'em. Stops all that sort of malarkey.

Baby names troll = funny.
Losing a child troll = fucking evil.

So she always trolls with the same stories - a weird name, photos from Google, later mentions losing a baby? Very odd! Maybe she actually has lost a baby and now has MH issues from it which she attempts to deal with by seeking sympathy? Sounds like she needs help! (Plus a bollocking for trolling!)

I love weird names on baby names! I posted one myself which I heard in baby group and have posted another, changing my username, on behalf of a friend to get a more honest response. I'm fascinated with names and there are a few others out there like me.

Maybe she's one of us but unfortunately is a little unstable and therefore makes up a sad back story?

Troll, if you are out there maybe just say you are fascinated with names?

People are kind enough to humour you!

If it's the one I am thinking of, she often posts that she is pregnant again after a miscarriage.

There was weird one about visiting a pool and a toddler running round. With a mention of her feeling delicate as she was pg after having a miscarriage.

Some one spotted her writing style, reported it and they were right.

This is a different one that I'm thinking of - starts off normally and then makes an announcement after several people have said - "that's bloody awful OP - please don't use it". It usually - "it's an angel baby" or similar, which some posters miss and others then pile it with "RTFT" - I find it quite sad.

The triplets thread - I was Hmm when I saw the photo so didn't comment but, as an exercise it came up with some really lovely names Smile. It was like a brainstorming game that ended up with loads of brilliant suggestions.

I saw that thread, but didn't comment. I actually thought the pic she posted of the "newborn" didn't look like a real baby but one of those reborn dolls. The baby had a very large pink dummy in her mouth, the size seemed wrong for a newborn dummy and the baby's skin colour looked unusually even, all the newborns I've ever seen are fairly blotchy. At the time I took the thread for real so put it down to an odd dummy choice and good lighting, but now I know it was a troll I'm wondering if I was right all along.

mrssmith79 · 07/01/2016 08:04

Did she post the one last week? Ella or Eden, pic included? I see that one's been deleted too Hmm. I posted on it in good faith...odd.

BlueSmarties76 · 07/01/2016 08:30

I posted with name suggestions on the one recently of a cute baby girl in a knitted pink outfit with a big pink dummy during which she said she had miscarried the last. Very odd!

DramaAlpaca · 07/01/2016 09:53

WillSomebody yes, I agree. I thought the same as you.

There have been others I've been suspicious of recently too.
