to think these twins' names are ludicrous?

[lulucappuccino]

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

Also just remembered my grandad 'jack' had a younger brother called 'Danny.' Being cockneys this was the source of much hilarity

We used to call our twins Chlamydia and Waynetta when out in public.

Said this before on here but my paternal grandad was Bill and maternal grandad was Ben.

Yes I think so Here

Old English but was left prevalent in Cornwall.

I think Loveday is a sweet name.

Loveday came up on a baby name thread. I thought it sounded like a mail order sex shop.

My son goes to school with a girl called Becky, I only recently discovered her full name is Beckham, not Rebecca.

hopes her mum isn't reading this

You're thinking of love honey sparklingbrook

There are twin girls called Emily and milky at dds school. Always makes me because surely that's the same name??

Emily and milly not milky!! FU autocorrect!!

I know about LoveHoney, I thought Loveday could be another company.

Everard and Ophelia Dick and definitely real.

You just met them today yet she showed you their passports?! Very strange...

There were 3 Fanny's on my dad's side of the family - all elderly or have passed away, born in an age before the name had that connotation. My Dad gets all defensive when I laugh at their names. However - I kid ye not - their full names are:

Fanny Beaver
Fanny Cox
And the third one has a normal surname but is married to a William, so often get's called Willy's Fanny.

The first thing you see when you walk into my parent's hall is a framed piece of embroidery, with the name Fanny Beaver in large letters. As an only child, I stand to inherit it. Rest assured that's one family heirloom I won't be displaying ...

Ohdear - that has made my day! Brilliant.

I know a Loveday but as a surname.

My mil, she died before we got married was called Frances Ann she was called Fanny as a child.

Milky

Maybe the OP is goady but guess what, the thread was/is funny. The beauty of mumsnet shines through then huh

My grandparents were Everard and Fanny Adams.

Sadly, Everard isn't pronounced ever 'ard.

Not twins but I once worked at a nursery where a little boy was called Deneil. Older brother.....Neil.

No, I met twins today for the first time. I've spoken to the mum several times, dog walking.

I'm not being goady at all!

Pull the other one

Brother went to school with 4 brothers. Bill Ben Ed and Fred (William,Benjamin,Edward and Frederick sound v sensible names before they are shortened)
Always made me chuckle

I'm calling my twins Aibu and Yanbu
