They sound more Indian than West Indian...Confused

PippiLongBottom · 02/01/2012 20:43

I think mincepie has misread the origins of the child in the OP Grin

crazynanna · 02/01/2012 21:03

I think OP meant Carribean Smile

Clawdy · 02/01/2012 23:12

Those are names from the west of India possibly but not the West Indies.

AnotherMincepie · 02/01/2012 23:32

So Clawdy, Pippi and crazynanna, your suggestions are...?

PippiLongBottom · 02/01/2012 23:35

Are you being snippy?

AnotherMincepie · 02/01/2012 23:46

Hold on a minute, you were one of those laughing at my mistake, weren't you? Big grin and all that? At least I took the time and effort to come up with several names - everyone else here just seems to be here to criticise.

AnotherMincepie · 02/01/2012 23:53

Right, here goes with some more.

Joel
Amos
Jerome
Lucas
Noah
Elliot
Wesley
Leon
Jude
Samuel

Any good, OP? Xmas Smile

PippiLongBottom · 02/01/2012 23:58

Don't take things so seriously. I was laughing with you not at you.

OP, in the part of the Caribbean I am most familiar with (anglophone) the names are very similar to UK names. The younger generation is more influenced by American naming fashions.

Are you trying to think of a name for a child who will be raised in the West Indies, or a child who is British of Caribbean origin?

No Pippi I gave you a Smile not a Grin it was meant to be friendly.

I gave my ds name as an example....Lloyd (he is mixed race Jamaican)

crazynanna · 03/01/2012 11:05

Sorry that was AnotherMincePie not Pippi

PippiLongBottom · 03/01/2012 11:14

S'alright crazynanna, I'll let you off Grin. It was me that used the grin, but I thought it was funny. Anyhoo. I have contributed my thoughts.
