It is all well and good choosing a name for your darling newborn that revolves around the latest fashion or trend or just being so lazy and giving your darling little one initials or what ever but PLEASE remember that your darling little one, all too quickly will be off to school and then be taller than you could ever imagine and they won't thank you for being stuck with a really stupid name!! I work in a primary school and some of the names we see on the school registers year after year are enough to make you cringe!! Children are not stupid and please before you saddle your darling infant with something that makes you go 'wow, that's original, unique etc etc etc' remember that one day they have to go out into the real wide world and sadly sometimes the real world can be not a nice place to be, the play ground can be a tough place. Just a word of warning........

cavemum the translating tool is being coy!! It has translated it as 'bad face' Grin

'tête de cul' is more like it, though 'cul' is more like arse than bum.

Any further french swearword assistance needed - I'm here Grin

Actually what cumbria81 says about googlability puts me off more than anything anyone else says about this ever, despite the fact that cumbria81 thinks my daughter's name is, and I quote, 'beyond awful' Grin.

I heard a mother in H&M the other week yelling "Champagne, if you don't stop that you won't get no sweets." I suspect it may have been spelled "Shampayne"...
