Rhizome or Lima?

[UterusUterusGhali]

That's what my 4yo DS thinks we should call a hypothetical 4th dc.

Have your dc had any input when naming a baby?
What would their choices be?

I once read about a couple who let their 3yo DD name their newest addition. She chose LaLa.

rhizome sounds like a medication

Minky.

My DD on DS.

She also favoured Egwa.

I seem to have reasonable children! DS (5 1/2) wants to call his little sister Alana. DD (nearly 3) wants to call her Rose.

Have just spat my cornflakes out at Cunty

Alana is nice. Unless your DS is called Alan...?

Orm wasn't there a bloke called Sally in the Sopranos?

lol im glad i clicked now. i was avoiding cos i was thinking well one sounds like a medication and the other sounds like an animal what IS she thinking :-D pheeeeee-uuuu

Rhizome is the term for a thickened root from which a new plant grows. It's like calling a DC Bulb, Taproot, Anther, Stamen, Stigma, Pistil, Style, Stem or Petal.

The Sex Pistols were reputed to have chosen their name as a variant of the plant part/function 'sex pistil'

DD (4) wanted to call our boy twins Horace and Jasper. When we didn't agree quickly enough she changed her mind to Zeppo and Hogarth.

Magdalena Cheung and Tofu love it

Ennis no he isn't. I think Alana is a little girl that DS has a crush on at his judo lessons

I did name my little brother, though clearly I had little imagination at the age of three as I chose Tom after my best friend at nursery...

Edith, I think DS must have overheard me talking about them in the garden. Or I was muttering at him about the weeds.

Thereis, they are all fine names!

DSS thinks his little sister should be called Fidget. I have to say, I'm not entirely convinced - but I refer to her as Wriggler so I can't say too much!

I know a family where the DD1 chose the DD2's full name. DD1 was 3. DD2 is called Maisie Dora, after DD1 favorite characters. Hmm.

DS, 3, wanted to call DD after his bear friend (also a girl). If we had another baby now it'd probably be Digger Triceratops.

Best friend, not bear friend!

Ohgod :o
DS is already a bit of the Casanova-type and is totally head over heels with the takeout lady. Did not occur to him that a tall blonde/blue eyed girl called Cheung would be a tad weird!

My 4 year old wanted to call his brother Jesus!

Goulou, my DD did call her pet rabbit Jesus!

We pronounce it the Spanish way so as not to offend the catholics next door.

If I asked my DS he'd probably want to call his next sibling Bernard (all of his toys are Bernard apparently)

My cousin and I were asked to name one of his younger siblings so we named him after the singer if a band we liked (we were in our teens at that point though) Same auntie asked her 7th, 8th and 9th children to name baby number 10 (yes, I know! No,they're not on benefits...) so he's called Ben!!

DS (now a strapping 16 year old) was insistent that DD2 was to be called Peach. It was her nickname for quite a while, but when she was three months old we were at school Christmas Concert when the headteacher was cooing over her and then asked me Stoatie - is she really called Peach?
I spluttered - No - her name is

Headteacher smirked and remarked she had been surprised at Peach (this was before Gwyneth Paltrow had Apple - but after Peaches Geldorf).

DD has totally different nickname now - which again was started by DS

DS aged 6 is adamant that DC2 should be called Taylor either way!

It's a very popular name on or area and I'm not keen anyway so that won't be happening.

DS wants to call the one I'm currently brewing Robbie Rabbit if it's a boy and Richard Rabbit if it's a girl. Damn you Peppa Pig.
