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!

This has cheered me right up. Hahaha :o

SilverShins · 30/09/2014 23:26

Ha! Tondelayo, I also googled. Most intrigued by Balonz's Science Oven. Although not enough to click on it Hmm

Balonz makes me think of a sad clown Sad

I am just place marking :)

SilverShins · 30/09/2014 23:30

I am imagining Papa Lazarou saying 'balloons'. So, no to Balonz for that reason alone..

IsabellaRockerfeller · 30/09/2014 23:31

Op come back and tell us about Balonz!

CheeseEqualsHappiness · 30/09/2014 23:32

Crying! Trying to type names in now and see if any of them change to Balonz. Please Op what was it!?

TortillasAndChocolate · 30/09/2014 23:32

Balonz all the way. Let's get it in the top 10 boys name list for 2015

SilverShins · 30/09/2014 23:33

Isabella, it's killing me! I can't bear the tension. And I want to go to bed.

minkah · 30/09/2014 23:34

Hahahshahahahahahaha!

Balonz as a slang word for breasts or genitals.

Pmsl!

Wishfulmakeupping · 30/09/2014 23:36

I also need to know about balonz OP. Depending on what that was autocorrect for I'm tentatively saying Daniel unless Balonz turns out to be something I like more

NerfHerder · 30/09/2014 23:36
Confused

Kayden, Jayden, or Ptolemy?

Penelope, Jemima, or Kylie-Mae?

Is he going to be a Brazilian footballer?
Balonz all the way!

Almost woke dd up laughing!

SisterMoonshine · 30/09/2014 23:40

Séan

mymatemax · 30/09/2014 23:41

Daniel is lovely. Bolonz reminds me of the dogs Bollocks

minkah · 30/09/2014 23:41

Oh!

I'm already starting to like name Balonz!

It's growing on me.

guitarosauras · 30/09/2014 23:43

Bolonz?????

What were the girl choices? sophie, lucy and yamboli?

PlopTheOwl · 30/09/2014 23:43

99 luftballonz

minkah · 30/09/2014 23:46

Middle name Jiggle, I suggest.

munchkinmaster · 30/09/2014 23:49

Stop talking bolonz you lot

CheeseEqualsHappiness · 30/09/2014 23:51

Definitely growing on me and starting to sound like a real name. Where is op? How dare she seemingly go to bed and leave us all Balonzing around on here

minkah · 30/09/2014 23:54

Perhaps their surname is DaBoox

PlopTheOwl · 30/09/2014 23:55

Nope, still not sounding like a real name here.

Sounds like a german sausage.

callipygian00 · 01/10/2014 00:03

I googled Balonz and this came up. So it's Daniel for me.
