What names have you chosen?

Bessie123 · 18/01/2008 14:46

Ah, sorry about that. But you do want to call your child after a pirate and a potato. It was just a little joke

captainmummy · 18/01/2008 14:46

lots of people like jack and emily - that's why they have been in the top 10 babies names for about 10 years.

TheYoungVisiter · 18/01/2008 14:46

well you're never going to find a name EVERYONE likes. If you like it who cares?

Agree people shouldn't be takign the piss out of you though - or do they not know it's your lo's name?

binkleandflip · 18/01/2008 14:46

Havent seen the thread where this has happened but true to say they wouldnt do it to your face - virtual convos seems to equal - no need for tact and manners. Unless you have asked for searing honesty of course? (Which you will always get on here )

at ythe end of the day who cares what a load of people you don;t know think about it. It is only the internet don;t be upset.

count yourself lucky, the father of my impending baby takes the p out of my name choices, let alone random strangers!

lulumama · 18/01/2008 14:47

names are personal choice. you might not like other people's choice of name for their child... if you don;t like jack or emily , other people might not like chesney or kitty , for example. nowt to get upset about. if you like a name,and want to give it to your child,do so.. just don;'t expect the rest of the world to agree/ approve ..... far more important things to worry about wrt to babies and children. if you post your name choices on the interent, which i presume you have, you have to be prepared for ribbing/ piss taking etc

there is a baby names topic !

TheYoungVisiter · 18/01/2008 14:50

ok, found thread.

tictacto, I think you are being a bit oversensitive. Bessie had posted that she was calling her child bum-face. You then posted with your (rather unusual) choices of names. It wasn't unreasonable of her to assume you were continuing the joke...

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 18/01/2008 14:50

is this a joke?

Taquina-Mahree (didn't like the spelling Marie)
Jeloquondoh-Patate for a boy

I made them up. Really like the way they sound. Sort of exotic and musical
