AIBU?
To want to shoot my friend

...for naming his daughter Tinkerbell?
I know I am actually BU as it's none of my business etc. Also shooting people is generally not the way to approach such matters.
I feel so sorry for the poor kid. She's going to go through torture at school. Not to mention thee rest of her life. Imagine a high court judge called Tinkerbell.

YANBU, you can't shoot him. Too much forensic evidence. Have you considered some kind of swift-acting poison?

I'm just impressed that the baby is showing such an early vocation for the Law.
...but I've got a shovel to help dispose of the body...

I've got a spot down the bottom of my garden...where he can spend eternity with all the other fairies.

Do you think he's winding you up or has the poor child actually been named.
Do you need some rope to tie him up before you shoot him?

Goodness, that's erm a bold choice. 
At least she can change it to "Belle" as she gets older.

Have you told him she will be known as Stinkerbell at school?
IdentifiesAsASloth · 15/08/2017 12:52
I came here to say you are overly dramatic, but now I've read your op I feel like I should probably help you out with the shooting

I bet when he goes to register the birth it will be faces all round.
MargaretTwatyer · 15/08/2017 12:53
I imagine she will be called Belle or Bella pretty damn soon/
MargaretTwatyer · 15/08/2017 12:54
I have a cat called Tinkerbell. My kids call him Stinky Tinky

That's right OP it's none of your business, she is not your daughter.
liverbird10 · 15/08/2017 12:55
pigsDOfly Sadly for "Tinky", her dad is not winding me up. 
WIBU to hit him with a brick, if shooting is off the cards?
PinkHeart5911 · 15/08/2017 12:56
I've a patch at the bottom of my garden that's perfect for hiding any evidence
That poor child, I think some parents just don't think long term when naming. Why didn't they give the child a normal name and just call it tinkerbell as some weird nickname?
Although my younger brother was at school with someone named Dipsy, he now has a very high flying job but calls himself a normal/sane name think Dave. Wedding was good "Do you take dipsy to be your dh"

I can already imagine the hysterical laughter and rolled eyes in the staff room when she starts school! I've watched Breaking Bad, plastic bath and acid?
elephantoverthehill · 15/08/2017 12:56
Will the child have a middle she can revert to something like Jane or Anne?
JsOtherHalf · 15/08/2017 12:56
When we registered DS, the registrar was relieved we named him a name that wasn't uncommon, with the usual spelling.
Earlier they'd had to register a child named after film character... of a different gender.
PinkHeart5911 · 15/08/2017 12:57
Please say they don't call her Tinky That is worse than tinkerbell it sounds like a dog or cat name
