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.

OMG. Poor baby. I work with a woman called Sky. She prefers that to her first name Princess.

Let me know when you are going to shoot him and I'll disguise the noise with fireworks Grino

No one needs to do anything to the poor parents.

There will be that moment when the little tinks realised what a bloody stupid name she has - and she and her siblings (Dumbo, Bambi, Cap'n Hook, Lady and Stich) will beat them to death with a string of sausages.

There's a receptionist at my DDs art class place who signs her letters Tink. Presumably it's short for Tinkerbelle. She's probably in her 50s or 60s and there is something odd about her having what seems to be a child's name.

NeonFlower · 16/08/2017 20:18

Tinks and Belle are both nice shortenings. I know one. Nice family.

WashingMatilda · 16/08/2017 20:21

Dutch I know a Sky Princess too! Shock

I'm in the police OP. Looks the other way, creates a distraction

Mycatsaninja · 16/08/2017 20:21

I was at school with a girl called Raine ! Lots of teasing .......I'm not proud 😟

user1488038434 · 16/08/2017 20:44

I knew someone called Shithead (pronounced sha-theed). Quite lovely until you write it down Hmm

splendide · 16/08/2017 20:53

Someone English?

pinkiepie1 · 16/08/2017 20:53

There are a lot of questionable name choices in my dds class.

Do they have another child or close niece or nephew who named the poor child?

Only asking because my 3yr old dd ended up naming her baby sister. only ended up using it as it was traumatic birth. All midwives were going and asking her what her baby sis was called, think trolls, so nowhere near as bad as tinkerbelle. we kept it. Least we could do for the years of therapy she will undoubtedly need lol

YABU

Boil him in oil, please, very, very slowly. And put it on YouTube.

One for the Terry Pratchett fans.
I hope she turns out like Adora Belle Dearheart.

Can't we arrange an unfortunate accident involving a frozen lake with a very light puppy sitting on the extremely thin ice waiting to be rescued?

Plainlycrackers · 16/08/2017 21:16

I went to school with a Shula and there's a young girl locally called Trixiebelle, which is marginally less bad than (S)Tinkerbell I guess!
I also went to school with a Richard Head.Grin
Also knew a girl called Sian... except her parents called her "sy-an"😶

DutchSparkle · 16/08/2017 21:18

Just having a chat with a paramedic friend. She delivered a baby who was name Chyna. Not too bad until you find out out her surname was Playt. If she had been a boy her name would have been Daniel. Shame she was a girl 😂

Plainlycrackers · 16/08/2017 21:19

... forgot to say I vote for the icicle or leg of lamb as a weapon

ozymandiusking · 16/08/2017 21:22

Hit him with a frozen leg of lamb, and then eat it for Sunday lunch.

FeeLock28 · 16/08/2017 21:24

Ha! Wait until she meets the chap of her dreams (called Peter .. )

"I've come across a Zelda recently. As in Zelda the Nintendo computer game character."

Zelda is a beautiful name. I think of Zelda Fitzgerald the American novelist and wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

JimmysMum1988 · 16/08/2017 21:30

Does he like his child?

GetOutOfMYGarden · 16/08/2017 21:34

YABU to talk about shooting him, YANBU to think the name is shit. That poor child is never going to know peace once she hits school and I suspect she'll be going by her middle name very quickly (provided it isn't worse!).

QuackPorridgeBacon · 16/08/2017 21:34

It could be worse. I like the idea of shortening it to belle.. they spray pig shit a lot round my way so it could mask the smell of a decomposing body. I could starve my cats and they can help..

QuackPorridgeBacon · 16/08/2017 21:35

Fee that would be brilliant!

liverbird10 · 16/08/2017 21:42

@GetOutOfMyGarden I mentioned earlier that perhaps I was BU with the shooting idea... how do you feel about beating him to death with a brick instead? Bear

DorisMcSweeney · 16/08/2017 21:46

liverbird10 I understand where you are coming from. However, I am led to believe that if you beat someone to death with a brick, there is quite a high likelihood of there being some forensic evidence. Brains & shit on your blouse, that sort of thing.

How about dissolving him in some acid?

OFuckShitAndBollocks · 16/08/2017 21:50

Beating to death with a brick may result in too much stuff for forensics to nobble you. I'd stick to the gun idea. You've clearly got loads of alibis, bullets, burial grounds etc. offered here. Any other help needed just shout!!!

That poor poor child! Hopefully she'll be able to do what one mum was sad about on here a few weeks ago and change her name by deed poll as soon as fucking possible!!!

OFuckShitAndBollocks · 16/08/2017 21:51

Very much like the acid idea.....just not in your bathroom or anything!
