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?!

I take back what I said then. I'm not proud and she's a whiney moo. Is that offensive tooHmm

Yeesh the reporting was very specific wasn't it? Almost every one of my posts here has been deleted lol.

Definitely having a 'you are not a special and unique snowflake' moment.

I said 'winky'Confused not even a 'cock'! WTAF?

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:15

It was merely harmless speculation, encouraged by the OP, no less! Smile

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 26/06/2012 18:16

One of my deleted posts was saying how annoying it is for my mother working in a school office and having four Madisons' all spelled differently and how she was treated for spelling it the normal way. Hmm Kudos MNHQ.

So I'm guessing YOONEEK spelling is a sensitive topic?

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:19

My real name is Lee'N'-Aura. Beautiful.

OhMrPackham · 26/06/2012 18:22

So - after all this - what is the name??

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 26/06/2012 18:24

I think the consensus was 'Kinn.'

Which for some reason still makes me think of a type of fish. Confused I really have no clue why.

OhMrPackham · 26/06/2012 18:25

Oh dear, wouldn't be my first choice

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 26/06/2012 18:27

Apparently it means cheeks in Norwegian?

LurkingAndLearningForNow · 26/06/2012 18:28

Also my post was deleted asking a question I still want answered...

How is Moy close to Kinn? Confused not asking rudely I'm sure there is a correlation I don't get but not 'getting' these little things really grinds my gears.

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:46

Kinn also means "chin" in German

And is case anyone is asking my opinion, it's barking....

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:47

oops in

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/06/2012 18:47

Drink!

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/06/2012 18:48

Feck! Arse! Girls!
In case anyone wonders, I haven't lost the plot just checking what can get me deleted. Smile

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 18:51

Bum.

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:52

Just a question, but if Kinn means cheek in Norwegian, does it also mean arse cheek?

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 18:54

It also means chin in Dutch

SunshineOutdoors · 26/06/2012 18:55

reported?

I didn't think the harsher posts were that bad considering the annoyingness of the thread. And op seemed ok with it all when she was replying and giving clues.

It was obvious we needed to know the name! Grin

CakeBump · 26/06/2012 18:55

"Exotic" is entirely relative, as I think we have proved here :)

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 19:01

Maybe the OP didn't report the posts. Maybe someone at MNHQ has a ickle babba called Kinn.

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 19:01

She's not going to answer she's got a 2 week labour to go through yet!

LineRunner · 26/06/2012 19:15

Well, I do wish the OP all the best with that.

I can see why she'd want a pleasing name for either a boy or a girl. But maybe it's sometimes best to wait.

But I still don't understand the deletions. It was only a bit of fun, which I thought the OP was initiating with her 'Quiz.' Ah well.

CurrySpice · 26/06/2012 19:54

Yeah, I can't understand the deletions either

I'm sure the OP could've taken it on the chin
