hi, we're due in 9weeks and dont know what we're having. we have a girls name picked out but cannot agree on a boys name. our eldest daughter is honey and our son is devon if that helps? though it hasnt helped us!!!!
when our daughter was born we only had a girls name picked out so its a good job she's a girl!! this time around if we're having a boy i think it may end up being a case of 'u look like a (name)'

Yeah - it's a funny line Hengshan but this is not a cheap shot stand up show.

This is a parenting website. By parents, for parents. It's about making the lives of parents easier. A pregnant woman has asked for advice about something and your reply is to mock her children's names. Are you a parent yourself? I find it unlikely.

And Sirzy - no, not OTT at all. "on message boards you have to take the good comments with the bad" - well only if people are being cunts.

As most parents (and dog trainers) know, the most effective way to deal with bad behavior is to ignore, ignore,ignore. If you feel there are posts in bad taste, either ignore them or report them. Or hide the thread.

Btw, my suggestion was serious, Ambrose and Honey go together and it is an old West country name, I think.

Mine were too - the 'theme' thing was because I don't have the faintest clue what names 'go' with Honey and Devon, so food is as good as any. But I deliberately only suggested proper names.

I really like Ambrose.

Me too, posh but not made up or pretentious. Even better if great great grandfather was called it...

noddyholder · 05/07/2011 07:35

How can a name be stupid when it has no inherent self and is only a word? A person on the other hand........

CharlieBoo · 05/07/2011 07:40

Devon and Honeys mummy.... Ignore ignore ignore, there are some 'stupid' people on his thread, I hope it doesn't put you off coming back and I hope you get some more suggestions.

I like Ambrose! I think something rather lush sounding would be good. Piran for a boy is patron saint of Cornwall. I think Zephyr, Rowan, Inigo or Jago also sound good. Isaac means "I laughed" which I think is rather cool.

CharlieBoo · 05/07/2011 07:41

Agree agree agree noddyholder.....

Pendulum · 05/07/2011 07:49

I was going to say Ambrose too- love this name. Although you'd have to be prepared for lots of "Devon knows....." jokes.

I put Devon into "Nymbler"- a naming site and it suggested a few names. Logan was my favourite of these but maybe sounds too similar. How about Ethan? Nice name though getting popular.

devonsmummy · 05/07/2011 11:43

what good taste in names you have!!
I have a DS called Devon and when pregnant with DD had these boys names on my list

Grady
Colby
Dexter
Asa
Blaise
Cole

what girls name have you chosen? ( we couldnt agree on a girls name!!)

devonsmummy · 05/07/2011 12:01

oh and Cody too

donnie · 05/07/2011 12:01

custard?

donnie · 05/07/2011 12:03

'colby'? 'Blaise'?

you are up there on the very summit of chav mountain there, I'm afraid.

devonsmummy · 05/07/2011 12:04

sorry can't hear you from up here

devonsmummy · 05/07/2011 12:16

theres a boy at DS's nursery called Toran - which goes well with Devon

Agree with lockets.

Fwiw, OP, I really like your current children's names, and am glad you are able to ignore the idiots on here.

I genuinely like Ambrose, and think it goes with the other two.

noddyholder · 05/07/2011 12:59

Donnie totally pointless post and a bit nasty

Youremindmeofthebean · 05/07/2011 13:05

I like Jago too. And Jem.

donnie · 05/07/2011 13:09

not at all nasty noddyholder. Custard goes very well with honey and devon. What's not to like?

Some of the names suggested on here are just awful - 'Dash' ? 'Tane'?

they are quite funny though.

noddyholder · 05/07/2011 13:13

Awful to you
