...make you think of His Dark Materials? Have you ever heard it anywhere else?

Why don't you like your baby?

I haven't read HDM
but it sounds a bit like a weight loss drug to me.
Sorry

No. It makes me think of a disease. The more I ponder it, the more I'm thinking a sexually transmitted one.
Sorry

ThePieSmuggler · 06/08/2012 22:00

On the plus side I have read His Dark Materials and it still didn't make me think of that so your fears are clearly groundless OP Grin

Made me think of the poet Benjamin Zephaniah

Sounds like a corporate software package.

I have never heard it. Is it for a girl?

Catsmamma · 06/08/2012 22:05

Xaphania....feel free from constipation!

For some reason, the first association that popped into my head was Zaphod Beebkebrox.

Made me think of a cream you may use for intimate femine itching.

TimeWasting · 06/08/2012 22:08

Have you made that up?

Thank you all, this thread is hilarious. It's not for me, thank goodness! My friend is considering it, I hate it, and was wondering whether it was because I couldn't stop thinking of HDM, or whether it was also objectively awful. Interesting to see it's the latter!
P.S I wouldn't tell my friend I hate it, of course. Was just interested in your thoughts.

I normally try not to be negative on baby name threads but.... please don't.

iloveberries · 06/08/2012 22:14

Well hopefully the "friend" will see the thread and refrain from using it. Truly one of the worst names I've ever heard!

For the love of god please don't

reminds me of daphnia. A small crustacean. Sorry.
