This thread made me Grin

I do sort of agree withthepigonthewall - I didn't think of Libra as a sanitary brand and I am female with a mother and a sister!!!!! BUT - It only takes one child to know about it and the rest of them will jump on it!!!!

I know a 3 year old called London!
DP wanted to call DS Kal-El (superman geek) but I put my foot down.

I could win this thread hands down- but the children concerned all refused to start secondary school unless they were allowed to change their names, so I can't tell just in case somehow it gets out.

My friends bf was called Denim he was greek

Two sisters called dior and armani

I hate judgey name threads, especially on a parenting website where chances are someone reading has a creatively named child Hmm And I say this as a parent of children with not so creative names.

Ivy is a perfectly goodname as well; it does not "mean" poison.

We have a Bo-Binx in our school, very sweet little boy but I have a feeling he won't be taken seriously as an adult! :o

SomebodySaveMe · 30/08/2012 07:54

My friend called her DD jasmine. Except she spelt it Jasmynne Confused

And I know a Destiny. I cringe whenever I hear it.

LackaDAISYcal · 30/08/2012 07:54

I met a Lindisfarne once though. Everyone called him Farne and he was lovely.

FloellaDaVille · 30/08/2012 07:57

McKayz · 30/08/2012 08:04

I have never ever seen Libra sanitary brand in shops.

Rachog · 30/08/2012 08:08

I know of a girl called
loll9 kissmumkissdad (the 9 isc the correct spelling) her siblings have equally unique names but I can't remember them, although one contains 3littlebirds.

hermionestranger · 30/08/2012 08:15

I know a brother and sister called Jakey-George and Dior.

storminabuttercup · 30/08/2012 08:18

shesparkles I know of a pebbles too.

I like ivy though it's lovely. I can't think of any funny ones at the min. I do get Hmm about the spellings sometimes though

ThisIsNotHoneyDragon · 30/08/2012 08:18

Xander

Not that bad but it was

'zan'dar

I thought it was the registrars job to stop such nonsense with random punctuation

The parents logic was it insured he would always have a unique name Hmm

Liberty bell Is in the film Juno.
I do judge names. Why would you encourage your child to be picked on?
