Dd has come home from reception today and has made a new best friend called “Whiskers”.
“Whiskers” is definitely a girl and she has yellow hair.
I did ask if she was tabby but apparently not!!!
According to DD “Whiskers” is 100% her name.
Please help me decipher what it could be, as I can’t ask her what games she has played with “Whiskers” today whilst keeping a straight face.

My 4 year old recently made friends with a girl at softplay called "Waste". I never did figure out what her name was!!

keepingbees · 12/09/2018 19:35

My dd was adamant she played with a boy at nursery called Strawberry. Turned out to be Aubrey. She wouldn't believe me either!

My DS has a friend called what I only hear as Tavern! Not a clue what his real name is - surely it can’t be Tavern?? Confused

WhitefriarsDillyDuck · 12/09/2018 19:44

surely it can’t be Tavern

Place of conception? Like Paris, Brooklyn etc

Could it be Taron?

FuckyDuzz · 12/09/2018 19:51

DillyDuck 😂 oh I hope it is!
Ooo haven’t heard of Taron iklboo I’ll ask him tomorrow, he says it’s most definitely not Aaron or Travis, I’ve tried those already
Confused

My 21 month old niece calls me tortoise! My name starts with an A and is very short and everyone refers to me as Aunty A__ but it comes out Tortoise, of course now everyone calls me Tortoise!! (It is actually growing in me!)

EduCated · 12/09/2018 19:53

Fucky Stephen? Darren?

AJPTaylor · 12/09/2018 19:55

Aw.
Dd1 had defangle.
Nathanial
Dd2 had Ben Sniff. Was called Smith but pretty accurate

FuckyDuzz · 12/09/2018 19:57

EduCated I’m fairly sure it won’t be Stephen, we have an uncle Stephen so DS can say it and I’m confident would hear it right - but I can only ask!

It’s not even a friend from school it’s from a club he does on Saturdays that I don’t take him too, otherwise I’d just ask a teacher

ShalomJackie · 12/09/2018 19:58

Tavern - maybe Devon, Kevin

Thelastredwinegum · 12/09/2018 19:59

Tavern = Gavin?

VioletCharlotte · 12/09/2018 20:04

My DS had a friend called Carrot at nursery.

Turned out to be Harriet!

Caaarrrl · 12/09/2018 20:09

DD met a new girl when she was in reception years ago. She was insistent that the new girl was called Agony.

Any guesses what it turned out to be?

KalindaBlack · 12/09/2018 20:13

My ds has friend called Brian, perfectly fine name for a 5 year old, so we called him Brian. When I asked his mum for a play date with ds and Brian, she gave me such a look, it was Ryan.
Ds still insists it's Brian and that was years ago!

iklboo · 12/09/2018 20:15

Dd1 had defangle - Nathanial

I am SO calling my mate this from now on Grin

BabloHoney · 12/09/2018 20:17

Some of these are so funny. When my son started nursery he told us one one his key workers was called Pizza. Turned out to be Lisa.

YouWereRight · 12/09/2018 20:31

Ds2 has a friend he still calls Vanilla, her name is Camilla.

Bananamanfan · 12/09/2018 20:34

Grin Reminds me of when DD told us there were a new girl in her class called "Grunty"
...turned out to be Bronte

FannyOutOfTheFarawayTree · 12/09/2018 20:37

Apparently I insisted that my new teacher was called Mr Needo.
It was Miss Danito.

onceuponakitchensink · 12/09/2018 20:49

Is Agony Ebony?!

My youngest spoke of a little girl 'caketin' for ages. Was Caitlyn. And 'bin-way' was Finlay. Oddly enough she was really good at speaking generally and elocution. Was super cute.

I would say Whiskers is possibly Mishka or Teeshka?

onceuponakitchensink · 12/09/2018 21:26

Updated further up the thread!
But Whiskers was a boy called Winston. With long curly hair and definitely no pinafore dress! 👍🏻
