A little girl has joined DD's nursery.
Her name is CUPCAKE.

I suppose it is nicer than Fishfinger, or Potato.

(Oh. If the mum is a Mumsnetter: Hello mum of Cupcake!
So...
... cough...
...Are you going to the summer fair on Saturday? :))

Oxford Reading Tree were ahead of their time. They had a Chip.

How about a more recession name, in tune with the times. Cupcakes just make her sound a child of the greedy nighties.

Ah it's a child who was born at the height of cupcake ridiculousness!

Perfectly fine then. Yep.

But all children born this year whose parents want to follow the cake related theme need to pick either Soreen or Eccles. Less frivolous than cupcake.

Batty. Yes, would work.

Soreen is quite Danish sounding.

Maybe it's like this lady
Not her real name but her siblings always called her it and it 'became' her name. Even the BBC call her Piggy Shock

Why would anyone look at their perfect beautiful new child and think 'I'm going to condemn you to a life of ridicule and embarrassment'?

Can you imagine at a party "cupcake?"
At school "who likes cupcakes?"
Later on in life could get a name for herself "whos had the cupcak?"

Oh Barm is pretty whattodo. Well not pretty exactly, more ugly I suppose. But you'd trust a woman called Barm. She'd be stout and efficient. The sort of person who'd re-tile her own roof, just for fun.

What about her twin siblings, Bara and Brith?

Surely the sibling name must be Bunting? Bunty as nn? Lovely! Grin
