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.

FootballFriendSays · 10/07/2012 16:14

FFS the greedy noughties.

squoosh · 10/07/2012 16:14

Soreen is more recession sounding

NorbertDentressangle · 10/07/2012 16:16

I prefer Battenberg as a sibling name TBH

squoosh · 10/07/2012 16:17

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.

Needs a brother called cookie or crumpet

kickingKcurlyC · 10/07/2012 16:18

Haha Soreen!

Batty. Yes, would work.

Soreen is quite Danish sounding.

WifiNappies · 10/07/2012 16:19

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

littlemissbroody26 · 10/07/2012 16:19

crumpet... mmmm now im hungry!

lisaro · 10/07/2012 16:20

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'?

IMeMine · 10/07/2012 16:21

Bloody hell! That is even worse than apple.

lisaro · 10/07/2012 16:21

As I said to my sons Jaffa-cake and hob-nob.....

CurrySpice · 10/07/2012 16:21

Is it hyphenated? Cup-Cake

whattodoo · 10/07/2012 16:21

Barm

5madthings · 10/07/2012 16:22

maybe she has another name on her bc but is known as cupcake, my ds2 is oscar reuben but for ages got called fruitcake, he still does sometimes and i dont even like fruitcake, nasty stuff filled with dead flies! Grin

CoffeeGoneColdAgain · 10/07/2012 16:22

:o Thats brilliant! Although I prefer CakePop, then the nickname could be Pops or poppy haha!

lisaro · 10/07/2012 16:23

And our new baby, Krispy Kreme.

LegoAcupuncture · 10/07/2012 16:23

DS3 is starting school in September with a little (white, broad Geordie) girl called Cherish.

mumnosbest · 10/07/2012 16:23

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?"

FootballFriendSays · 10/07/2012 16:24

Back later, my Flapjack and Linseed need feeding.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 10/07/2012 16:25

Could be worse, coulda been Mooncupcake Grin.

squoosh · 10/07/2012 16:27

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.

EldritchCleavage · 10/07/2012 16:28

What about her twin siblings, Bara and Brith?

TheMightyMojoceratops · 10/07/2012 16:29

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