None of us are on there.

Mind you, I never have been able to get personalised stuff!

ArgumentativeAardvark · 12/05/2013 10:11

Weirdly my name is on there and DD's isn't. DD's name is much more common/classic/normal than mine.

DD's name was on the New Zealand list though.

There is going to be a tour of shopping centres where you can make your own if your name isn't on the list.

Nope, none of ours.

VinegarDrinker · 12/05/2013 10:55

None of ours, bit surprised about DS as I thought his might be (definitely in top 100 recent baby names). Not at all surprised about me or DH, my name is unique and DH has a very Welsh name.

ReluctantlyBeingYoniMassaged · 12/05/2013 10:59

They don't have my name or my son's. dp's is there though.

KatieScarlett2833 · 12/05/2013 11:05

Both DC there on UK one.

ChippyMinton · 12/05/2013 11:06

None of ours are there.

OnTheNingNangNong · 12/05/2013 11:06

DH and my name are on the list ( feels onerous writing that) the DC are not on there, unsurprisingly.

MrsGeologist · 12/05/2013 11:11

DH's name is there. None of the rest. Mine might be in Ireland, but no idea.

PregnantPain · 12/05/2013 11:16

Page loaded straight on my DD's name ... weird. :o.
Short version of as yet unborn DS's name is there. Mine and DP's names aren't (but we have weird uncommon names..I like to think thats the reason at least :o)

BluddyNora · 12/05/2013 11:35

Nope, mine isn't there, nor my DP or my two DS's

KentuckyFriedChildren · 12/05/2013 11:58

Mine is on the UK one as is ds's. The abbreviated form of dh's name (which everyone but me and his mum calls him Grin) is on both but neither of the dds' names are there but I wouldn't have expected them to be as they are both unusual. Both dds' names are on the British one in their English versions though (their names are the Maltese versions of very normal British names)

Alisvolatpropiis · 12/05/2013 15:01

I found my name the other day. It's not on the list in the above link though.

Januarymadness · 12/05/2013 16:54

DD is there. DH and I aren't. Out names are not at all unusual but certainly "of an age"

nooka · 12/05/2013 17:13

I've never come across my name on anything personalised and don't expect I ever will. I was however surprised that neither of my children's names on the UK list, as they are both pretty popular and have been for the last ten years. However dh's name is there, which makes me think that the demographic they looked at for names was adults not children (dh's name v popular in the 70s).

Slavetothechild · 12/05/2013 17:32

One 1 of the 5 has a coke name :( and then it's a different spelling .

louisianablue2000 · 12/05/2013 17:33

DH and I can get Coke bottles but the DC can't. Which is good because we have told them coke is for grown-ups (like wine Wine), sadly DD1 is now onto us!

diddl · 12/05/2013 18:35

Are people buying these, then?

What's the point of them?

JollyOrangeGiant · 12/05/2013 18:40

DH and I are both on coke bottles. DS is not.

Prospective names for DC2 are not on the list either.

olivertheoctopus · 12/05/2013 22:05

Neither of my DCs names are on the list.

Preposteroushypothesis · 20/05/2013 21:34

Sooooo...before I saw the lists were on this thread I just tried to google if DDs name is on a coke bottle...I have discovered that there is a porn star with her name who does something presumably unsavoury with a coke bottle...I am now mentally scarred!

GaryBuseysTeeth · 20/05/2013 21:57

DH is, DS isn't, nor are any of the names we're considering for DS2...there's more chance of hell freezing over than finding my name on one!

for Preposterous!

cherhorowitz · 20/05/2013 22:00

Mine and DP's names are. Youngest DD a maybe as I haven't found one yet but it's a pretty common name so probably but eldest DD probably not.

cherhorowitz · 20/05/2013 22:02

Just checked the UK list. Youngest DD's name isn't on there! I'm surprised as it was on the Top 10 list of baby names the last I checked.
