Made-up name

OK, I don't want to give the actual name that I am thinking of (for a baby of either sex - due to be born in 2 weeks - eek!) but here is the formula/ problems:

Rhymes with two different names, one of each sex, so doesn't have an 'odd' ring to it.

Is not an actual name but is a word with positive associations - not a very long word BTW

Is not slang for anything nor the name of anything odd (as far as I can see from extensive google searches) - except for being the name of one (innocuous enough) body part in another language e.g. (but not) Japanese for elbow

I like the sound of it, I am sure that some friends will think it's an odd choice or even odd to make up a name but I don't like very popular names and this would have meaning for me.

What do you think - mad or brilliant?!

(How was Moy 'close' Hmm)

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 25/06/2012 21:19

LOL fail OP. You're my new BFF Curry

Wallace · 25/06/2012 21:21

I thought it might be GAY, but I see I'm too late :(

CurrySpice · 25/06/2012 21:24

I don't think it can be Kinn as my first result after googling "Name Kinn" says "there are 448 people named as KINN in the United States"

Poor buggers :o

CurrySpice · 25/06/2012 21:25

Hey lurking is there a badge involved with that role

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 25/06/2012 21:29

I think some people look at their newborn baby and say 'I hate you! What's the fucking stupidest, blandest, most YOOONEEK name we can give you? Oh I know, I'll name you Kayteline. And if ANYONE spells it wrong I'll give them filthy looks and snottily tell them the proper spelling. What common folk.'

That's how I'm going to name my baby. How much did you piss me off in labour kid?!

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 25/06/2012 21:30

There's a badge, but the B.F.F s actually silent. I'm very unique you see so I spell it with a silent G also. It's pronounced BEEFLE. Don't forget the E on the end!

CurrySpice · 25/06/2012 21:48

'Kinn 'Ell!

I have been following this thread for a laugh.
It certainly hasn't failed to deliver said hilarity.
Nice work, ladies.

"there are 448 people named as KINN in the United States"

Good heavens. Almost exactly the same number as Indo-European languages.

How spooky Shock

Arf

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 25/06/2012 22:45

If that's it, n all seriousness it's just an ugly name. It's neither feminine or macho or..ANYTHING.

For some reason I hear 'Kinn' and thing YES! Fish pie for tea! Confused

ExitPursuedByABear · 25/06/2012 22:46

Ooh - could that be a name?

I can't stop myself putting 'Ell after it!

seeker · 25/06/2012 23:54

Ah. I am not qs unique as I thought I was. Probably owing to my quite ordinary first name- I obviously never achieved my potential....

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 16:21

The most disappointing baby name thread ever?

PercyFilth · 26/06/2012 18:03

Oh dear, she's reported us to teacher. :o

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:10

Hang your head, PercyFilth, hang your head.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/06/2012 18:10

At least she stuck to her beliefs and didn't betray herself

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/06/2012 18:11

Eh, what?! I got deleted???? Confused

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:12

Most odd deletions ever? Wine

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:12

Anyway, Cregneedle so is a thing-type-word.
