To want to shoot my friend

[liverbird10]

...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.

Zelda was a name long before computer games were invented!

I know someone called Tinkerbell. She gets called Tink which is quite cool actually. but then i like Tink the character- [ runs and hides]

Mumofazoo my cats called tinker bell 😬 Good name for a pet not a child.

Dad has an obsession with fictional fairies 🤔 SOUnds strange in itself lol. My dd has a friend called Flossie I thought that was strange but she doesn't get bullied or anything. My friend said little sister is called Dixie-dee she doesn't get picked on either. I think names are getting stranger now a days so people don't tend to get picked on anymore. Although I couldn't imagine a lawyer or a doctor being called Flossie or Dixie-dee or tinker bell 😂

I once knew a girl called Snow White. Completely wish I was joking.

At least this kid can have her name shortened to 'Belle' and people would be none the wiser!

There's a Belle at my son's school which is short for Tinkerbell. Utter, utter madness.

Flossie is a normal name, traditionally short for Florence, but these days a name in its own right (like Harry).

Please tell me your friend's name isn't Peter

And he calls her 'The Tinkster'?

I need brain bleach.

She doesn't have a middle name.

It's too cruel, poor child. After reading the Baby Names Board on here where there are some hideous unusual names being suggested, is it time do you think for Registrars to have the power to say no to awful names? I believe it happens in several countries.

Has the child actually been born? I only ask because we referred to DD when in utero by an 'unusual' name (think Ermintrude, though not what we actually used). We've called her something normal since. You're sure that's not the case here? (clutching at straws!)

Tiramisu was Queen of the Fairies was she not? That would have been a better name.

Fuck sake auto correct, I meant TITANIA

As an aside I have recently come into contact with a Kayden Kaiden. I shit you not.

my friend just called her baby girl Zizi surname also starts with Z

Was she named after the chain of pasta restaurants?

@rabbitcakes, I'm loving Tiramisu, Queen of the Fairies.

I'll keep it in mind if I ever have DD2

@SleepyFun The Tinkster is now almost a month old. Little does the poor innocent soul know what awaits her.

at Tiramisu, ha ha!!

Even I wouldn't call a child that.

Revenant - yes she'll definitely be called Stinkerbell, at school and by her siblings, The poor baby, how could anyone choose such a daft name???

Shooting is too good for him. It needs to be a slow, painful drawn out death.

Sadly she isn't the first. I saw a 'Tinkerbell' in the hatched matched dispatched section of my parents' local rag several years ago and it became the benchmark for 'poor little sod-ness' (excepting or maybe on a par with bastardised spellings of already questionable names).

I would worry most that poor ickle Tinker would grow up to be not remotely dainty or fairylike and thus be even more of a prime bullying victim.

I'm ashamed to admit that I would guffaw if I heard a parent refer to their child as tinkerbell and possibly wet myself as 'the tinkster'.

@rabbitcakes Tiramisu is brilliant! I bet there is one out there somewhere. I might name change to DontCallMeTinkerbell.

She can change it to Bella later. Lots of Bella's around thankfully.
