Help!! Difficult choice of boys names: Sean, Daniel or Balonz?

[TheoGB]

Dear MNers. Hoping you might all be able to help us out as we’re having real difficulty agreeing a name for DS due soon. For DD, we went 'rare'. Weren’t sure we were quite ready to find some ultra-weird name, but equally there are millions of Kates, Elizabeths and so ons.

For DD though, we’re thinking a much more traditional name, perhaps inspired by close friends/family. What are MNers’ thoughts on either Sean, Daniel or Balonz? Many thanks in advance!

Argh....here!

D'you think that future 'I am kosher, honest' statements will go something like 'Am not a troll honest, penis beaker, penguins, Balonz, river of sweet corn...' Arf.

Have just caught up with this thread. To the pp who asked how to pronounce Vachina without giggling, it's a silent c, much like the s in its counterpart, Isla. I thought that was well-known, sorry!

This thread has been such fun, and it's so sweet that irony has to be pointed out innit?!!
Our new friends must think that "tongue in cheek" is a sexual position. Oh! wait a minute....

Thanks for all your advice MNers!

Following your wise counsel, we're definitely going down the traditional route and DS will be called Balonz.

We've just told Data and she's delighted!

Thanks again and a very good night to you all...

Goodnight Theo
We are all looking forward to the live birth thread of gawjus little Balonz!

Night night Theo hun. Y'all come back now y'hear?

Think you've made the right decision OP. Daniel and Data - bit matchy, really. Good luck xx

genius, genius genius

classics please??

Daniel, lovely.

Honestly have been laughing at this for the last two days. Great work OP, and you MNers are a great bunch, made everything SO much better. I hope you didn't take my mirth as some sort of superiority as if you weren't in on the joke - in fact I found it funnier because you were.

Top work everyone, sorry one of the more idiotic types decided to come and sour things slightly, though quite jealous of how good and efficient your forum and mods are, puts us to right shame.

Daniel is nice although a bit 80s. Balonz is a typo surely? I can't think what for....

Yy to moving this to Classics - has anybody reported the thread to MNHQ so they can consider?

Kitty, read the thread - enjoy!!

Omg I need to blow my nose, am crying and snorting with laughing...classic!

I have reported to MNHQ so they can consider moving it to Classics.

New peeps, RTFT, seriously

Oh bless. I used to post on drowned in sound a decade ago. Obviously back then it was a PROPER music forum and time was better spent really overthinking music rather than trolling.

Well, they like The Sad Boys Radiohead, so they cannot be all bad…

I'm so glad you're going for it, Theo - everyone knows that Balonz have more fun.

Good thread, would read again.

LOL at foppyish providing an 'Amazon review' of the thread

Ach, nonononono, HealingSpirit, it just won't do to be peddling your rubbish advertising your business on this Thread of Comedy Gold!
Get thee away before MNHQ do it for you

Is HealingSpirit one of your people mumsnetters or ours? I can't tell anymore.

S/he is a troll advertising, tsk tsk.
V much frowned upon.
I have reported.

How dare you think HS could be one of us?

The Balónz thread is truly hilariously wittily brilliant
Instantly conjured the French musician eager to jam at my party shouting to the DJ :
