What do you think?!

[A1980]

One of my neightbours children, who is about 14 years old says that there is a boy in her class named Passion and a girl in the year below her named Pebbles.

Just when you think you've heard everything! Would anyone go for names like that here?!

Depends on where the children come from I think. We used to call our dd bambam (as a nickname) because she looked like her. The child called Passion may have religous parents, the Pebbles one could be a nickname that the child in question prefers to its own name.

I know an absolutly massive (6ft+, built like a brick house) african guy called ... Promise.

It suits him so much and I love it.

So I think Passion could work, and as for Pebbles, well erm, I dunno, their baby, their choice.

There is a Pebbles at the nursery where my friend works. I can't believe there is more than 1. Passion is an awful name too.

Whats wrong with 'normal' names. (and Promise isn't one of them).

There was a young lady of dubious employment (let's just say she worked from her bedroom home) in our street last year called Pebbles.

It was her actual name too rather than a work alias iyswim .
