I always thought it was lucky they weren't pissed on Special Brew or Maddog when she was conceived

avenanap · 12/09/2008 23:06

What about Stella?

1dilemma · 12/09/2008 23:06

I really don't understand why they didn't use Jack Daniel

Woooozle100 · 12/09/2008 23:07

nah stella artois for next girl

Mamazon · 12/09/2008 23:09

YABU.

they aren't very imaginative names, nor particularly attractive but what you name your child is totally up to you as a parent.

how would you like it if someone came on and started saying that they thought the name ethan was a bit passe and common?

its personal choice. you may not like it its none of your business.

There is a Tia Maria at our school too.

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 12/09/2008 23:17

Yep, I was in the park earlier when I heard Mamazon call her 4 children in for their tea - Bert, Ernie, BigBird and CookieMonster went straight in without their mum having to call them more than once.

Mamazon · 12/09/2008 23:18

margo stop exagerating.

I only have bert ernie and Bignird!

ethanchristopher · 12/09/2008 23:18

I agree completely that it is everyone's personal choice as to what to call their kids but surely there has to be a limit to some of it

these twins have two middle names that match too for example

one john brian smith
two john brian smith

names have been changed to protect the innocent of course

dh says they're probably about early thirties - would be interesting to ask them what they thought of their names

ethanchristopher · 12/09/2008 23:21

in scotland you dont have personal choice anyway, they can refuse to register certain names.

yay scotland!

dizzydixies · 12/09/2008 23:22

really? I never knew - I wish the registrar that did one and two had known

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 12/09/2008 23:23

I have a friend who has the same name as a brand of kettle. Hand on heart, I am telling the truth.

solo · 12/09/2008 23:31
