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.

I met a skunk called Stinkerbell a few weeks ago. True story.

I've never met a skunk...

I knew a couple of Demelzas - growing up in Cornwall it wasn't that unusual.

I did register a J Jellybean once. Jellybean was the middle name, not the surname.

I will have a 12ft x 12ft diptank full of fresh hot caustic soda on the go tomorrow- could be a great place to accidently drop 'evidence'

I'm grateful for all your offers of assistance in the disposal of my aforementioned friend. I'm sure that when "The Tinkster" grows up she will understand my reasoning entirely.

A lady from work has a DGD called Trixiebelle, Trixie for short.
Just makes me think of a stripper

Is your friend called Zak Dingle by any chance?

I know one. She is about 10. When her Mum first told me I did ask her if it was a nickname but no it's real.. They call her Tink too. Mad.

Shooting is too good for him!

Some friends of a friend have daughters called Rubella and Scarlatina (Ruby and Scarlet for short) and were going to name their third daughter Chlamydia (shortened to Lydia) but went with Yellow instead (I assume her middle name is Fever). Apparently they're Goths, I still don't think that explains why they would name their kids after diseases.
Names like Amy, Angela, Anette, Christina and Sharon are much nicer! (Thinking of the names of some of my favourite singers.)

You should stab him with icicle. That way it melts away and no one will ever know.

Rubella sounds like a lovely name, mind...

As a by the way, anyone out there either called or know of a 'Shula' (of 'The Archers') or a 'Demelza' ('Poldark')?.

I went to school with a Shula. Judging by her surname she was Jewish. It does sound very Old Testament.

Miss They sound like lovely names if you don't think about it too hard! When my friend was telling me about this family I was a bit shocked! I am going to have to ask her what Yellow's middle name is though...

Dear That's an excellent idea!

DeadMorose He's not Jim Fenner, thank God!

IamNotDarling she could equally be named after Zelda Fitzgerald?

Oubliette- someone's been watching Labyrinth

And 'tink' was an insult when I was a child (short for tinker/gypsy modern equivalent = chav I guess)

Exactly what I was going to say Fekko! In Ireland, tinker is not very nice slang for travellers. The sort of word not used in polite company.

'Oi tink - come in fur yer tea!'

You sound a bit Katie Hopkins to me.

Her parents can't even have read Peter Pan because tinkerbelle is a fucking bitch!

In countries like Norway there is a registered list of accepted names. If you want something not on the list, you have to apply to have it added. Stops all these stupid 'names' and ridiculous spellings!

Large shard of ice then the finger prints would melt away so no evidence as long as gloves worn so no dna or large heavy frozen joint of meat so you can cook the murder weapon and feed to the dog...
Lived opposite a Chandler once and a Draco went to my sons nursery....

I've never met a skunk...

I have - but he wasn't called Stinkerbelle

"Is he religious? Our local priest refused to baptise a baby with the name Angel."

How odd: it's quite common is Spanish speaking countries for boys to be called Angel or Jesus!

As for Zizi - words fail me!

What's their reason for the name? People must have questioned it. What do they say to justify such a ridiculously affected name?
