Youme.
Spelled youme, said you,me.
I asked where it was from, parents said in unison 'she's a little bit of you and a little bit of me'.

This actually happened.

Youme had a sibling, answers on a postcard please!

Very very sad!

GemmaTeller · 10/08/2013 16:01

Youtoo or Youtwo

Crumbledwalnuts · 10/08/2013 16:02

The reasoning is grim but the name is quite nice! You can imagine it as a sort of African name or even French with a little You-meh. But the thinking behind it is very very grisly.

Crumbledwalnuts · 10/08/2013 16:03

Oh the sibling. Ustwo. Ustoo.

noisytoys · 10/08/2013 16:04

Ha ha that's classic poor child Grin

Sirzy · 10/08/2013 16:08

oh dear!

NachoAddict · 10/08/2013 16:09

Was the sibling older or younger?

Littleone? Secondborn? Sarah?

These threads tend to kick off a little bit, but my first reaction was 'yikes'.

Onesleeptillwembley · 10/08/2013 16:12

Selfish twats.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 10/08/2013 16:12

Sibling was younger.

littlemisswise · 10/08/2013 16:13

OMG!Grin

I bet the sibling was called Ben, or Jack, or Alice, or any other usual name.

superram · 10/08/2013 16:15

I know a my.son.

MissAntithetic · 10/08/2013 16:16

Was the second one called a bitmorelikeyounotsomuchlikeme?

starrystarryknut · 10/08/2013 16:16

Yumi (pron. You-me) is a very nice Japanese name. Were they Japanese? (Somehow I'm not optimistic...)

fuzzpig · 10/08/2013 16:17

Let's hope they don't have to call one "youmilkman" or something

QOD · 10/08/2013 16:18

I quite like it

Spermegg.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 10/08/2013 16:25

No they weren't Japanese. They were as white British as you can get iyswim, when I asked where it was from I had expected a family connection/ story/ link to another language etc

Siblings name was very very normal.

Imagine being at school.....
Teacher: so today we will talk about our names. Youme, where does your name originate?
Youme: well, apparently I'm a bit of mum and a bit of dad. How are babies made?
Teacher: what's your brother called?
Youme: Bob

JazzAnnNonMouse · 10/08/2013 16:30

Think Amy, Sarah, Katie kind of name.

Fair enough choosing unusual names and tbf I quite like it in a quirky way but that the sibling was called a very normal name made it look like some kind of social experiment Grin
