A sister for Nigel

[ZombieComforts]

I need a girl's name that doesn't seem too chalk-and-cheese with Nigel. Suggestons please.

Then Elizabeth is the name you are after, obviously.

Mavis

Oh thank God. All is well with the world after all. It's an elepahnt.

There is nothing hideous or jokey about the name Nigel, nor about any of the suggestions that have been made. There are one or two that I don't personally like very much, but that's just personal taste - for example, I've always thought Harriet a rather ugly name, but it has been popular for many years now.

There's nothing wrong with the name Nigel, it's unfashionable at the moment but names do have a habit of coming around again... I bet there will be a Nigel revival! I'm sure we all have a sense of humour, but agree that if a thread is about a toy, best to say at the outset.

No, no. There is plenty wrong with the name Nigel. Plenty.

I was going to add a little of-course-that's-just-my-opinion-and-we-all-have-different-tastes-eh? on the end of that but I can't, I just can't. Nigel is terrible. Terrible. That's just unarguable fact.

I'd say it depends on your age. It may be an unfashionable name at the moment, but it's very common amongst men over 45 and so seems normal not terrible.

Nigel. Keith. Kevin. Gavin. Graham. Stuart.....yeuchhhh.

Thank goodness Notanumber had the courage to ask the question none of us dared

Meditrina, it may be common in men over 45. That doesn't make it not terrible. It's terrible-ness is second only to Trevor and Keith.

Leave Stuart out of this, please.

This is all ridiculous, anyway. Everyone knows that elephants have to be called Nellie. Thems the rules.

Lizzie, Julia, Shula, Pip, or Shuvvy as in Siobhan?

i'd been too polite to say nything but thank god you don't really have a son called nigel
istand by my earlier suggestion of elizabeth but shula or julia might also work

does that mean a girl called Nellie would be thought of as an elephant notanumber? Its a fave of mine for pending baby and your honest opinion is valued. I can take it!

Debbie of course!

Aw look, everybody's making plans for Nigel.

Deidre or Doris

An elephant can't be a brother to a dolly !! There must have been some sick old bestiality sessions going on in your playroom. I bet Tarquin was involved.

Mabel is nice

Cattleprod of course an elephant can be brothers with a dolly, tsk tsk, and all the toys are the little girl's babies too, and they can all go to a school taught by a beany baby owl or somesuch, who is also the grandma of half of them too (in spite of being little girls baby as well) and they can also marry each other and have babies/kittens/tadpoles as required. It makes perfect sense.

Nigel Pargetter's sister is named Camilla.

I like the name Nigel; it's the name of Robert the Bruce's younger brother.

Nigel is awful ...and I have a dh called that.
It's foul.

there is a nigel in dc school - he will be going into year 2 - i've aways thought and
