Please can I go GAHH on here?

[Thistledew]

So that I can smile and say nice things in RL about my friend's choice of name for her new baby

Obviously not the real names, as they are going to be very distinctive, but she has her heart set on something that is the equivalent of Larry Parry.

I really do not think it sounds good.

Oh dear. And there's nothing you can do! Hope it's just hormones and her DP can talk her out of it.

Well done you for booing on here to RL!!

My colleague talked her brother and his wife out of something similar. It simply hadn't occurred to them to actually say the full name out loud. Because they still loved the first name they had chosen, they hyphenated it with another name.

So instead of Sophie Brophy, it was Sophie-Anne Brophy.( Have changed actual name!)
