We named our baby a marmite name

[PineappleBrazilNutsandMaccasFries]

And I bloody love the horrified reactions more than the delighted ones:

What???
Oh my god that's a mouthful isn't it?
Is that a name? Oh, I'd call him 'xxx'

It's not even that out there, I think people are just rude, but it cracks me up

If only there was a section on here to discuss everything regarding baby names.

Oh wait.......

Well OP, if you name your baby Vladimir Putin what did you expect?

The poor kid.

🤣

Don’t care about the name but what on earth do you think you’ve put on this thread that is so identifiable?

@Cormakorma couldn’t agree more. Especially the ludicrous spellings children are saddled with now. “Oh look at me with my out there kids’ names!” 🙄

Taran is great. Is the r rolled and is it male or female, seems to me to fit both.

Montgomery?

Ernest?

Stanley?

Rudolph?

I always thought my DC would have names with "character". Not boring popular names. Then when I was pregnant I realised it was not about ME, and cool and cultured I am to have chosen such interesting names.

It's about my DC. So they have sensible names, and they're free to change it to whatever crazy thing they want if they are that way inclined. It's their names, not mine.

Isn’t every name technically a marmite name?

Agree pointless if you won't post name on an anonymous thread

what at attention seeking thread.

are you one of those people who write cryptic messages like- “worst day of my life today. Thank god for hubby” the get loads of responses and you don’t say what it is until a mutual friend says- “is this about you missing your Zumba class this morning and your husband made you a bacon bap?!”

I’m sure I’ll sound dumb but what even is a marmite name?

Op has clearly misplaced their flashing neon “look at me!” sign this evening.

😂😂😂 I laughed out loud

Why do you need to know the name? It's not a post about whether or not we were unreasonable to choose the name. Its about where iabu to find it amusing when people are confused/rude 🤷🏼‍♀️

How can anyone possibly comment on whether you're unreasonable to find it amusing when we don't know what the name IS?

Are you feeling particularly starved for attention tonight or something? Could you not just start a parking thread (with diagrams)? That usually draws the punters like flies to shit.

These are all so gorgeous!

It’s not you that has to live with the name that is disliked by a lot of people. YABU

OP, if you’ve been around Mumsnet for any period of time you should know you can’t start a thread like this and not give the name.

Especially in AIBU.

OP = I’ve given my baby an unusual name and people react to it

Mumsnet = we need to know the name so we can tell you if you’re BU

OP = not saying

Mumsnet = 🙄

Just found a thread from 2013 where an OP asked this exact same question. A name that you either love or hate. That should have been obvious but it clearly went over my head haha.

<don’t mind me I’m just answering my own question>

Apart from the fact it's an entirely pointless thread how on earth is it AIBU? AIBU for naming my child? No.

Is it Colin?

Is it Nevaeh?

Just so you can launch into it's hea...

Spelt backwards, we know 🙄

It is a ridiculous name for a child. It's about time there was a government approved list of names.

Balonz ?
