Sibling for Mont,Doll,Herb&Boo

[Lannypanny123]

I'm most of uses MN worse nightmares when it comes to baby names. I understand almost 100% won't like my childrens names and I really don't mind I quite like it in fact that way I know they won't become popular.

I'm pregnant with baby number 5 and looking for help to find a name for ether sex, I've l

Noni
Lilt
Kitsy
Shoa
Drell
Vunya

I'm sorry I refuse to believe that there are children in the world called those names, no one would be that cruel.

Love your names OP! Also third Hedy. What a great name!
How about...
Bibi, Adorabella, Catkin, Barley Bee, Sparkle and Rusty and Badou. And no, I'm not taking the mick! These are guilty pleasure names if only i,'m brave enough!

sonlypuppyfat what is so shocking about Monty, Dolly and Herbie? Very standard names a few decades ago.

What are your kids called?

Sorry mine are taking things too far now I look back at yours.
Hmm. Maybe they could be for the middle names?

Rae
Velma
Briar
Cherry
Rollo
Wren

Wren is lovely.

My friend kept rabbits when I was small they were all called Monty and herbie was a car. My kids have all got traditional Welsh names so they are proper names but not overused.

Bunny bee
Cleo
Honey Rose
Frou Frou
Burtie
Hector
Rafin

Oh I like Hector.

Maybe in fifty years time people will be calling their rabbits by your names soul. Who knows.

It's got to be wax weasel.

I get that YOU don't care what people think.

But it's not about YOU.

These are names that a child has to live with. Do you think buster won't care on his first day of secondary school when the teacher calls out Buster on the register?

There are thousands upon thousands of names which don't come with a massive neon sign marking someone out for ridicule.

YOU might not care. But it's not about YOU is it? Although I suspect it actually is and your need to be 'different'

Oh do give it a rest.

Welcome to MN.

Are you married to Jamie Oliver?

Raine
Zola

Ambrose

Umm I'm not sure if I can think of more that might fit I'll come back if I do!

Why give it a rest?

Op has asked for opinions on future names to go with frankly ridiculous sibling names. She must have expected some criticism.

Tom
Harry
James

Emily
Lucy
Sophie

There OP. You've just made the first 18 years of your DCS life easier.

Ooh what about Scout - like in To Kill a Mockingbird?

There are loads of different names that you would never have heard of in the bygone days. My dd's best friend is called Hoy-Yee. She didn't laugh when they took the register.

Why give it a rest?

Because you've already made your feeling perfectly clear and now you're just frothing and shouting. Her children aren't going to be changing their names anytime soon so there's really no point to your sneering.

My granda was Herbert, my great gran Dolly, Buster is a NN for Ds and monty is perfectly normal.

A name is a name it's not the person. Kids aren't bullied because of their name. I have one of the most common names of my generation, I was bullied. Granted I also had braces, glasses, was short and pudgy. I was an easy target. If I had more confidence, I am sure I wouldn't have been singled out. That's what's is important in bringing up you children.

OP I take my hat off to you,I wish if had your guts. OurDS has an name we love, but did raise a few eyebrows.

There's no frothing or shouting. Just vague bemusement.

And no she won't change her children's names. But maybe nobody has ever told her exactly what they think? Maybe given the fact that she will be making her future DCS life harder by saddling them with silly names she might reconsider?

OP, last term we had an achievement ceremony at school. We have a family of children with 'themed' names. Do you think the DC don't hear the stifled laughter when their names are called out?

Vive la difference!
I'm much happier with a more unusual name than I would be named Sophie L or one of the Emily's. Saying that, I wouldn't judge someone for calling their child Joe/Jack/Amelia, so why should you judge the op. I'm sure her children will be just fine, find some better things to worry about! The Sunny Blue, Boudicca, Seraphine and Ferhat I used to babysit have all turned into cool teens with bags of confidence.

Monty is very common around here now, I know 3 under 5. Dolly, herbie and Buster are fine. How often do people actually use middle names anyway

What about

Soren
Thaddeus
Finnbar
Echo
Aslan

Willa
Daria
Nora
Clementine
Pearl
Opal
Emerald

Scout and boo though?

Pansy
Hero
Tiggy
Zillah

Forrest
Griffith
Leopold
Eli

While not being to my taste I think Herbie, Dolly and Monty, names that litter the Telegraph birth announcements, are perfectly fine. To be honest I'm surprised they've created such a stir seeing as vintage names seems almost de rigueur these days.

Buster is a bit different I'll admit but it isn't even the first time I've heard it being used recently so is probably less outrageous than we think.
