If so what was it and who suggested it?

So many MN's post to ask for suggestions but I don't get to know what they actually chose?

I always post suggestions and would luuuurve to know if my 'name' was even thought about or even chosen.

I havent up to now, no but (probably a little patheticly really) am very much swayed by what MNetters say.

I am really, really stuck between either Gabriella and Kate if this ones a girl and have a thread running about it - I honestly believe Im going to use whatever is front runner by way of votes on that thread. Sad really, suppose I must trust you lot!

There was arizonagirl's long 'Beauden' thread recently. She chose Skyler in the end - I'm pretty sure that was a mumsnetter's suggestion!

BarbieLovesKen · 01/12/2010 21:14

(hijack sorry) how are you, CuppaTea?

(Yes! your right about Skyler - that was a mumsnetter's suggestion)

TheUnmentioned · 01/12/2010 21:14

BarbieLovesKen · 01/12/2010 21:15

Ooooohh ooooooh Kate! I love that name

[never expect to find out though]

Then again I was Sarah until my registration then my parents changed their minds and gave me a poncy nice name with Katherine as a middle name then called me Katie.

When I started school I was called by poncy first name and have been known by it ever since.

Hmm

Completely understandable unmentioned - no problem!!.

Cuppatea so lovely to bump into you, was wondering how you were. Am glad that your feeling well. Everyones well, had some more sad news unfortunately from some. We'd love to hear from you but completely understand also if you dont want to pop by.

FoxyRevenger · 01/12/2010 22:32

Kate!!!

AmyFarrahFowler · 01/12/2010 23:19

I haven't chosen one because of MN but I have not chosen one because of criticism of it on here. I won't say what it was, but it was a lovely name that everyone said I. Could. Not. Use. Sad

lowrib · 02/12/2010 02:01

Well they must have done because I've been suggesting Elodie as a name to anyone who'll listen on MN, and now it's becoming popular. Must be the power of MN Grin

I saw Miranda on this board, i hadn't considered it before and fell in love with it. It was going to be our girls name but 20 week scan revealed baby is a boy Smile he's due in 13 days but we're still deliberating over his name.

lowrib · 02/12/2010 08:14

Miranda is a nice name.

"I haven't chosen one because of MN but I have not chosen one because of criticism of it on here. I won't say what it was, but it was a lovely name that everyone said I. Could. Not. Use."

I think that's a shame Sad. The MNet jury is pretty conservative when it comes to baby names IMO. People seem to think it's OK to say horrible things about names, when it's my experience in RL that people get simply used to unusual names once they've actually them used.

lowrib · 02/12/2010 08:18

actually used them. Gah!

NinkyNonker · 02/12/2010 09:58

I used a middle name suggested on here.

Did a thread about it, most people seemed to love it.

Arthur's asleep upstairs.

that's so sweet highlighterpen. and a great name indeed.

Smile Thank you. And it really suits him.

His ears must be burning - he's just woken up.

AmyFarrahFowler · 02/12/2010 14:37

Thanks for saying it was a shame, I think it was too but it did give me a flavour of the opinions we might encounter in RL if we went with the name.

To be fair to the Mnetters who said not to use it, it is a very unknown name. Most thought I'd made it up, there are a few characters in some obscure books I like called it though, so I promise I hadn't made up something totally random!

Not MN no but my dd4 name I learnt of from a baby chat I used to frequent 8 years ago
