Totally outing myself but I have to share...

[kickingKcurlyC]

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? :))

[Jux]

I knew someone called Egg (a long time ago).

[Badgerina]

I hope she doesn't develop a weight problem or an eating disorder.

[SherbetDibDab]

You're all wrong, Cupcakes can become lawyers

[WifiNappies]

Wow Cupcake Brown had an interesting life

[SillyBeardyDaddyman]

Cupcake...

She'll be eaten alive at school.

[Showmethemhappyfeet]

Whoops just burst out laughing at my desk in work. 'she'll be eaten alive' hahaha

[squoosh]

Ah yes sherbert Cupcake Brown! I've heard of her, she had a book out didn't she? That must be where the inspiration came from.

I wonder if the book was about overcoming a name like Cupcake.

[Janoschi]

I grew up with a little boy called Muffin.

[Clarella]

I taught a Terrine 9 years ago. I always imagined green spam when I wrote her name. Oh and an Ikea. Guess what you could see from the playground?!!

[areyoutheregoditsmemargaret]

There's a girl in dds' Brownies called Pashmina

[marge2]

I think you should call SS - that's just cruel!

[squoosh]

Pashmina! I suppose it sounds like it should be a name. Umm, maybe. Pretty funny though.

It's like that Alicia Douvall person who named her daughter Papaya Coco Piri-piri. Sounds more like a shopping list than a baby.

[AKMD]

It is probably a nickname.

When DBro was 5 he insisted on being called James. It was on his handwriting book, coat peg, letters, probably register too, for the whole year of school. He then reverted back to his usual name.

There were quite a few children in my class at school who were of Asian origin and had 'home' names i.e. their birth certificate name, and 'school' names.

[Solo]

The world's gone mad!!

sillybeardy I laughed at your last post! excellent!

I knew of a woman that apparently called her Dd Doily. You know! the paper things you put cupcakes on! maybe Doily is Cupcakes mum?!

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

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. I agree, I am so not frivolous

[dundeemarmalade]

There's a boy at dd's nursery called Lord. Which makes cupcake seem quite sensible, imo.

[Horopu]

I was in a classroom the other day with a list of children's names on the wall: one of them was listed as Joke.

Sorry, I know it is not cake related but I just had to get it off my chest. (MN was the only place I could tell people about the boy named Soul-Jah too).

[Clarella]

Terrine's baby brother was proudly announced to me as TJ. It may have been Teejay but we also had a Mercedes, a French, a Dre, a Fawn and a Shakira (with a very normal, typical, uneventful English surname) so who knows. I asked her to repeat it several times and the class were puzzled by my puzzlement.

[HiggsBosonAteMyKitten]

Overheard a mum calling to her child in local A&E recently

"Wives, come here"

should have minded my own business but had to ask "Wives....that's ... um.... unusual. where did you get the idea from?

"well, you know...Wives saint lorent" she said, looking at me like I was an idiot

[MB34]

@squoosh - maybe cakepop!?! lol!

[MB34]

My last message makes no sense! When I clicked on this thread just now it only had 24 replies. After I posted my reply, another 48 appeared

So to explain - "cakepop" refers to squoosh wondering what is 2012's cupcake of choice back on page 1!

[dollydoops]

WIVES!!!! hahahahaaha!

[spongebrainfatpants]

Child called Circle at a school near me.

Why!?

[Anonymumous]

My husband taught a girl called Eccles. Nothing wrong with Eccles!
