DD (17) has recently got a new boyfriend, which is fine. However, his name is Chris, which is a name I hate, and would rather not have to say a lot, especially if he is going to come to the house all the time. I told DD last night that if she wanted to bring him round, then I would be calling him Luke, which I think is an acceptable name (and very nice - it was going to be DD's name, had she been a boy). Very unreasonably, I thought, she flew off the handle at this, even though I know that she likes the name Luke.
Now I have three options:

  1. Call the boy Luke when he is at the house
  2. Call him "Mr " when he is here
  3. Don't let him come to the house.

He is a lovely boy, but I just can't stand him name!
So, is it unreasonable?

I'm not het up at all and I have posted on that thread, thanks for the advice. You couldn't possibly be trying to start yet another MN row could you ScottishMummy? I won't be rising to it so I suggest you try elsewhere.

Agrippina is a fantastic suggestion.

How about Countess Bathory? Reckon she'd love that one - especially as her daughter is pure as a flower.

Picking up the star wars theme and running with it, I'm busily inventing names that Chris could call SWALK.

Flower names:

Venus Flytrap
Deadly Nightshade

Traditional names

Agrippina the Younger (wife of Claudius, mother or Nero)

Funky names

Tallulah
