charmin?

Activia - a bit hard to stomach?

What about Glade, for a boy - wood you use it?

(Can you tell I'm at a loose end today?)

Actually, Charmin...Hmm Sounds like 'I wanted Charmaine but a bit different'

Cushelle sounds like a brand of loo roll. Perhaps Charmin was a fraudian slip?

BuntyPenfold · 02/09/2010 13:06

:)I know a Haze snd a Breeze - cousins.

FetchezLaVache · 02/09/2010 13:07

Bunty, seriously??

Funny OP!!!!

BuntyPenfold · 02/09/2010 13:10

Yes, really. Every single person asked the name of the new baby each time and then cringed. Many said 'What, like the air freshener?' in shocked disbelief.

I would have done too but was warned in time!

They are not babies now though, they must be late teens.

EdgarAllInPink · 02/09/2010 13:10

i obviously didn't read the OP properly, or have a sense of humour bypass in place...

mustrun · 02/09/2010 13:11

Haze and Breeze... I think Breeze got the better deal there! Imagine all the 'going round in a haze' jokes etc.

BuntyPenfold · 02/09/2010 13:13

I asways think it's a pity Ariel is spoiled as a name, and also my fave Marigold, ruined by rubber.

BuntyPenfold · 02/09/2010 13:13

Breeze was windy!

scurryfunge · 02/09/2010 13:14

What about

Danone?

Activia?

Yoplait?

BuntyPenfold · 02/09/2010 13:24

Brillo (M)-positive name, sounds upbeat.

Jif (F)- mininimalist chic

Elnett (M)- derived from OE fisherman

Persil (M or F) -means adventurous in OF

sedgiebaby · 02/09/2010 13:27

lol

I still like Ariel (a bit)

EdgarAllInPink · 02/09/2010 13:42

how about Vim?

for a boy, of course.

or Jif.

MrsMorgan · 02/09/2010 13:43

My cousin's dd is called Cashel. Bet she was non to impressed when they changed the loo roll name to Cushelle.

BuntyPenfold · 02/09/2010 13:51

Edgar I already bagged Jif for my next little girl - sorry.

How about Ajax - now there's a heroic name. I wonder if they still make it?

MaryMungo · 02/09/2010 14:01

Definitely naming my next girl Nutella....

BuntyPenfold · 02/09/2010 14:02

ROFL Mary

arsesandoldlace · 02/09/2010 14:16

How about contraceptives:

Yasmin?

Cileste?

Dianette?

Probably not Durex though - bit futuristic sounding

SmellsLikeTeenSweat · 02/09/2010 14:27

I still like Cushelle for a baby! It's all cuddly-wuddly. And loo roll? Don't you mean kitchen roll?

Anyway, does it pass the PM test? "And here we have Prime Minister Cushelle Sweat, accompanying the Queen (now in her 110th year) to the state opening of Parliament, along with Opposition leader Florence Cameron..."

Yes, I think that works OK?

Cileste is lovely Smile

Fairy

Andrex

Lennor

AmazingBouncingFerret · 02/09/2010 14:33

If you are going down the contraceptive route, Marvelon for a boy has quite nice ring to it...

getstuffed · 02/09/2010 15:01

Oooooo ''Lennor'', me likey, wonder if they'd sponsor.

arsesandoldlace · 02/09/2010 15:21

I do like Marvelon! Like a cross between Marlon and Marvelous. Fab. Also sounds futuristic, which is no bad thing.

Heartsease · 02/09/2010 15:23

I'm fond of Lil-let.

sockmonkey · 02/09/2010 15:43

Lil-let is fine for a baby, but not a grown up name (see PM test above)
