To wonder WTF they were thinking?

[mishmashmoon]

DD has just started at the local nursey attached to a school and here are a few of the names.

Boden... i kid you not
Denim...maybe too much gas and air???
isis...strange but pretty

When i heard the teacher call Boden i nearly pissed myself and so glad i didnt say anything out loud because his mum was standing infront of me.

You probably know this but 'Milton Keynes' came from the names of 2 economists - Myanard Keynes and Milton Friedman - I think - A' level economics was a V long time ago......

Agree Boden is hideous - as people will think 'poncey clothes' not 'place in Sweden' i've never heard of!

Im OK lol, I just dislike a child name being ridiculed, more so when its a traditional name.

But as you were

Isis was the Goddess of Magic and Life.

ROFL at lotkinsgonecurly!! Chris Peacock...

I heard of someone called Aliki ( or Aleeki - sp?) Brain once..

Ahh, thanks Boob Lurvely name by the way

I think M&S did a perfume called Isis

Ha! I just got Chris Peacock! Fab. Had to read it a few times, I'm a bit slow today...

My dad went to school with an Aaron Dick.

I like Isis. (Bob Dylan song)
Have come across a Tybru.

sexydomesticateddad you know Jock Stirrup is actually called Graham right?! Jock is just a military nickname. Everyone is Paddy, Scouse, Taff etc in the military

Cheers Belle Bit more creative than my old one...

I know a Jack Frost and a Jack Russell. My mother's friend was very close to calling her baby Ivor...her surname was ordinary but the baby's father was called Locock....she hadn't considered the baby should take his father's name!!

sirboobalot DS would be called Kitchen Floor

as this is Mumsnet, surely that would be 'ProperOakflooringnoneofthatlaminatecrap'?

or indeed

'firedearthTilessweetyThatTilelocstuffjustisn'tthe same?'

apparently Boden really is a boys name its of scandanavian origin....

Prolly like Zara, you'd think the shop, I think pretty girls name!

what do you think of Aibu as a name?

or if they were twins, Aibu and Yanbu?

I went to school with a Pamela Panther - I'm sure she must be a porn star now with a name like that. Also know a Bambi

Katty - didn't know that - maybe they just make up military names, like Captain Darling, Major Fuck Up etc but why choose Jock and not something else....how do the newsreaders keep a straight face.

I know an Anakin

At my graduation ceremony, a fellow graduate had the name Robin Bastard not on my course......but feck me, did we fall about laughing when his name was called out

It makes you wonder what on earth the parents are thinking!

I know a Warwick - he's in his 30s though.

Mercedes the car was called after a girl called Mercedes wasn't it?

i once met a Cinnamon.
she suited the name perfectly, beautiful brown skinn and very pretty.

I love the name Isis. I was gutted one of my twin boys wasn't a girl!

I went to school with a Mercedes and Porche as well. Their dad was car mad

I've got an unusual name as well and also had a Star and Merlin in my class. Teacher didn't bat an eyelid.

verytt - mercedes car was actually named after Mr Benz daughter called Mercedes, so in that case the car came first.

I think Verbaudet sounds like Verity - a name that i really like, but never used to. My tastes must have changed.

My RL name is a bit unusual, or probably more regional/national than unusual, but i hate it, wish someone had told me that i could use my middle name which i like, but too late now isnt it?

ROFL @ AIBU and YANBU... catchy, very catchy

My mate swears down she teasches a kid called Dkny... (pronounced to rhyme with 'bikini').
