First and middle names the same?

[Jennsdiaries]

hello people of mummsnet

is there any reason why i cant give my new baby tha same first and middle names

i got a name i really like and me boyfriend likes it to so we thought wed give it the same for both.

what doyou think is it a good idea or allowed from the law. we were thinking of jenn jenn or maybe jennifer jenn. my name is jenn as well so we know we like it

You could just do a George Foreman and name all your children the same name - you and your DP could be Jenn I and Jenn II, this baby could be Jenn III. It will go on forever so it doesnt matter how many children you have.

Why would you want to do something so utterly ridiculous?!

I like it you could call dd1 jennifer jenn-jenn,
dd2 jenny jenn-jenn, dd3 jenn-jenn jennifer and dd4 jenn-jenn-jenny.

Excellent Idea.

Is your surname jennings? If not maybe dpoll would be a good idea, just to really give the name an edge?!

hello thanks again for all replays some funny ones but also good that some peple are seeing what we want to do here. its funny but me and me boyfrend both have the same last name as well but were not family or nothing like that. its smith so nothing like jennings which would be well funny. if he sticks around and we get maried itll be well easy not having to change it. fact is that a kid nowadays need to have a diffrent name look at the celebs and that, Jenn Jenn aint that stupid if you look at what some of them are called and theyre makeing loads of cash aint they

DH wanted to call first DS OurSurname so he would be OurSurname Oursurname with the twist that the spellings (but not the pronuciations) would be slightly different.

Luckily the baby in question was DD2 and the argument never ensued. I still think he was being serious.

I don't think the celebs are earning money because they called their baby Apple or Mooncatcher.

I asked the question last week whether it's ok to call your child the same first anme and surname.
My husband likes the name Charlie Charles as it was in a Harry Enfield sketch.
I on the other hand think that men shouldn't generally be let near baby naming.
If you want to call your baby Jennifer Jenn then fine, good luck!

puppyknot this is exact what im talking bout. if you got a good name you just use it twice and you get everyone talking bout it and the kid will have an advantege over the other ones

There were so many reasons it was not a good idea..........

They really won't.

Oh come on, who is it? You're good

i think jen jennifer is prob best as jen is short and quick and good for with yer mates and stuff but jennifer is well classy and sounds important and formal and would be good for getting a job or in a film but at the same time you could short it to jenny or something if you wanted so you got that flexy if you want it

a bit like Jean Jeanie

Yes, your kid will have an advantage and be famous and that like what the celabs are innit.

You will be well minted coz you can sell stories on him innit.

For this exact reason I named my children the following:

Fucking Bastard Bertina
Page Free Stunna Bertina
Stop Thief Bertina
Bertina Bertina Ghali
Now Closer Hello OK Grazia Bertina

and the next one will be either

Big Fat Gypsy Wedding Bertina
or
Monster Truck Bertina.

I feel very sorry for those of you who stick to boring names, your children will be ridiculed by parents and teachers alike, and probably get beating in the playground for being called Thomas or Emma. You suckaz!

If he sticks around

I have tears rolling down my face at this thread. Thanks Jennsdiaries for the best laff in ages. I like the way you are taking it all on the chinny chin chin.

lol at chinny chin chin

Everyone will be talking about the 'kid' for all the wrong reasons!

You are avin a larf innit?

Why go for something as conventional as Jenn? Here are some much better suggestions:

Onetwo Onetwo - always gets a namecall at gigs

Arf Arf - every dog knows your name

Snap Snap Smith ?

Ding Ding has a nice ring too ....

all celebs have not normal names like posh 50 cent jordan kerry katona . you dont see a celeb called like tracy jones or nothing do you. even jennifer lopez has got that forign name last what makes a diffrence compared with someone whos just got a normal one.

Last time I looked, Kerry was a normal name.

I think you've got it there - 50 Pee or perhaps 50 Pence for the more formal occasion and Hello! interviews.

I'm also partial to One Pound Fifty but it's a bit of a mouthful, to be honest.
