Toddlers - Dick and Fanny.
Not short for anything, apparently. British family.
Lordy.

Are you sure these are their real names? Confused

x2boys · 09/03/2016 19:21

Have they been reading enid Blyton?

molyholy · 09/03/2016 19:22

Please tell me this is a joke.

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 09/03/2016 19:23
Hmm
CaptainMarvelDanvers · 09/03/2016 19:23

They are probably called Richard and Frances and the parents are introducing them as Dick and Fanny.

Olddear · 09/03/2016 19:23

Urban myth surely

lulucappuccino · 09/03/2016 19:23

Sorry, don't know why the thread has posted twice.

Not nicknames. It's their real names. Last name is commonplace.

I call urban myth too

wizzler · 09/03/2016 19:24

Do they live near Enchanted Wood ?

molyholy · 09/03/2016 19:24

Mind you after seeing twins Viktory and Success, nothing surprises me.

AnyFucker · 09/03/2016 19:24

somebody is pulling your leg

OhShutUpThomas · 09/03/2016 19:25

Urban myth.

No way this is real.

x2boys · 09/03/2016 19:25

GrinWizzler and have a friend called moon face?

lulucappuccino · 09/03/2016 19:25

No, it's their Birth Certificates names.

I know its a bit cruel posting, but I don't understand why the parents thought it a good idea.

They seem like pleasant, normal people.

CaptainCrunch · 09/03/2016 19:25

Probably...if they were real.

Vixxfacee · 09/03/2016 19:25

Probably puppies.

SpecialSnowflake · 09/03/2016 19:26

Do they have an older brother called Tom?
I realise the 3rd one should be Harry but it still works

wizzler · 09/03/2016 19:26

.. with a lot of saucepans?

Zariyah · 09/03/2016 19:27

Is this some sort of in joke?!

Queenbean · 09/03/2016 19:27

How do you know these people?

My middle name is Fangina which people often laugh at but its a very normal name where I am from

CaptainCrunch · 09/03/2016 19:27

Off topic but I knew a guy called Willie Dick (first name and second name) and another guy who really was called Richard Head.

lulucappuccino · 09/03/2016 19:27

They're real. I met them today.

I just don't understand why the parents would do it.

No other children, so no other names to report on.

I think they'll be avid tree climbers in a few years, right into the clouds...

x2boys · 09/03/2016 19:27

And slide down the magic faraway tree on the slippery slip?

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 09/03/2016 19:29

Parents are swingers. Real Enid Blyton fans would've gone for Julian and Anne.

Do they have wicker hearts in their window?
