AIBU- Someone has used my unusual baby name

530 replies

MmmmDonuts · 09/09/2017 20:32

I wanted my baby to have a one of a kind unique name.
I made up a name that I love. It's definetly never been used before.
(I realise this sounds dodgy already)

Anyway, my baby is 7 months old and someone in my town has just given birth and used the name.
I actually feel really gutted about it.

I realise I am about to be flamed in the comments.
BUt how can I feel less gutted about this? Meh

I also really need to know this name.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 09/09/2017 20:56

I know someone who called their first born daughter exactly that.

Poor little girl.

Just started reading the Balonz thread, I'm already giggling.

MmmmDonuts · 09/09/2017 20:58

Wowee, I went for a pee then put the bottles in the steamer and came back to 51 hilarious replies. You've turned my rage into laughter- Thankyou. (Although I am still pissed off)

You will all hate me, I can't say the name as it will out me.

But it's definetly a new word. Not a crazy spelling of an existing name.
Not exotic or what some may refer to as 'chavvy'. Could pass for a surname I guess but cute.

Sorry.

Come on, come on, come oon, tell us.

There is this hive mind thing, where one person thinks they have the most original name, but it always leaks sideways, and lesser mortals start to use it. That just happens.

First to conceive, wins.

Father Hiroshima Twinkie?
Father Peewee Stairmaster?
Father Chewie Louis?

FerretsAreFeminists · 09/09/2017 20:59

Have you tried googling the name OP? I'm willing to bet if you did then you would realise it's not that unique.

KennethCat · 09/09/2017 20:59

Ok, I'll bite the bullet and be the first to ask what the name is. I hope it's Dgsffuststudhxgk@55. That's a cracking 'out there' name and you shouldn't be surprised if loads of other people choose it too.

Omg Pickling just read the Balonz thread and I'm absolutely dying laughing, thanks for posting. Funniest thing I've read for ages Grin

Femalé?

PicklingGherkins · 09/09/2017 21:00

Glad to be of service 😃

SlugKiller · 09/09/2017 21:00

Is it L-a? Someone always knows someone with that name......

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 09/09/2017 21:00

Tell us the name!!! Dont make me throw biscuits at you.

IWantABlueBanana · 09/09/2017 21:01

I have a unique made up name, nae cunts copied it, bastards!! Hmm

littlereddot · 09/09/2017 21:01

I totally get what you are going through. Beyonce stole my DS2's name and I am totally thinking of suing her.

ButchyRestingFace · 09/09/2017 21:01

When I was 7 I was convinced I'd invented the name Belinda. Imagine my fury when I started seeing people copying it in newspapers, films, 18th century novels, etc.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/09/2017 21:02

Is it Bear and is that you Cheryl?

DryHeave · 09/09/2017 21:02

You don't meet many babies called D'hoffryn.

FuzzyCustard · 09/09/2017 21:03

It's K-Mid, isn't it?

BrieAndChilli · 09/09/2017 21:03

If the name is as unique as you think it is then you have outed yourself already - anyone who knows you will read this and know it's you as they will be like 'oh X named her child a name I've never heard of before and so has Y down the strwet'

Iamtheresurrection · 09/09/2017 21:04

It's got to be peewee diorreah poopy pants.

ButchyRestingFace · 09/09/2017 21:04

You will all hate me, I can't say the name as it will out me

It won't. There are at least two children - that you know of - in the same town with the same name.

Besides, as we all know, what happens on Mumsnet... stays on Mumsnet. Easter Smile
