What exactly is a Mumsnet name?

[WithACherryOnTop]

I'd appreciate it if someone could enlighten me,and perhaps provide a few examples,as I keep seeing it mentioned on this board.

5700 correct. It's not likeable on here

That's cos it begins with a K - do you spell it Kelli by any chance and get an extra point in the rating of an anti-mums net name :o

No unfortunately my mum decided to use a 'y' I might change it to that or give it a silent letter

Hugo.

ZKelly?? has a bit of a ring to it - nothing wrong with a silent Z.

Thinking of a silent B Keblly so I have to spell it and correct people when they say it

I nominate a respelling to Kkeblli. Leaves you with a real guessing game there :o

I have a traditional name beginning with K given to me 40 years ago. I don't give a toss what people think.
I don't care much for faddy names with K though and there is definitely a difference between the two.

ample I'm not a classy K but I stand up for all K's

Ha! I always think of Cordelia as a stuck-up your own arse mumsnet name.
No offence to those who genuinely like the name of course..

If you're a Kelly, SP, I would say there's nothing wrong with your name. I like it, it's classic 70's imo

I was born in 1990 so thought it was from then

I am a Kelly but grew up been called "belly, smelly Kelly, smell"

Hate it

When I first read a thread with someone considering the name Cordelia, I thought it was going to get a roasting. I couldn't believe it when everyone was singing it's praises! Now I have nothing against the name Cordelia, but I just can't imagine a toddler one, IYSWIM?

SP that's sad. I have a cousin called Kelly, same age as me. I like her name but she doesn't (also dating back to teasing).
I think a lot of names with the 'ie' or 'y' get picked on as their names rhyme with so much.
I didn't want that for dd.

I'm sorry you don't like your name I like it. Perhaps due for a revivial in a few years, who knows...

My mum doesn't like her name and I don't think my Nanna liked hers so might just be a family thing

I don't particularly think you have to avoid the whole top 100 you know.

I didn't like mine until was out of uni

All we need is someone say, Coleen Rooney or Kerry Katona to use the name Cordelia and it will be snubbed for eternity. Well maybe eternity is stretching it.

I have often thought that, Ample! Either that or for it to emerge that little Kai Rooney has the middle name Ptolomey :o

All it takes is for someone to spell it Kordelia...

UnSocialite
VolAuVent Yes I do believe KK would be up for that!

Ottilie is a MN name.

Sebastian, Hugo, Quentin, Casper, Dominic, Edward, Cassius,

Florence, Clementine, Constance, Cordelia, Beatrice, Elizabeth,

all seem to be 'popular' on mumsnet these days.

This K bollocks is a bit daft, IMHO.

In Germany, most C names are spelled with a K. Konrad, Karl, Katherina, Kordelia even! It ain't chavvy.

It has to indicate the pure-blood, middle class roots of the parents; and confer instant entry into any Russell Group university, and later the medical or law profession.
