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

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!

Ooh, the forums are mingling...

Shockers · 02/10/2014 17:54

I don't care if it was a joke; if I have another son he shall be named.... Balonz!

(Probably a good thing that I'm 48 and careering headlong into menopause.)

Cup size, dear? We all drink tea from Brew

There's nothing wrong with our cup size, I'll have you know. We've all had Bra Interventions.

wantacatplease · 02/10/2014 18:14

So what if I'm so restricted in the middle that I can no longer feel my legs...thanks to the intervention my tits look shit hot.

Big cups here (the ones you get sent by Sports Direct).

What if I don't want go to that thread?

wantacatplease · 02/10/2014 18:28

You don't have to go anywhere you don't want to, cj. Have some Brew.

Lizardc · 02/10/2014 18:33

Daniel is lovely and we might have used it, except that it is my husband's nephew's name.

Sean is ok. Never heard of Balonz! Not keen on it either, sorry.

Lizardc · 02/10/2014 18:37

D'oh, ok, just realised I completely missed the point! Note to self - read entire thread before posting......

Funniest thread since the penis movies.

IAmBalonz · 02/10/2014 18:43

Penis movies?

cjcreggsfanclub · 02/10/2014 18:49

Phew, I felt like I had to, it was said with such authority

Thumbwitch · 02/10/2014 18:49

Not a typo, a piss-take. From another trolling web forum. Woohoo.

wantacatplease · 02/10/2014 18:50

I warned you, thewarn. Too much, too soon. You started a funny, jokey thread over here but then you had to go over to AIBU (aka Mumsnet's 7th circle of Hell) and get insulting. No way to ingratiate yourselves over here, nevermind get members over on your forums. HTH.

CheerfulYank · 02/10/2014 18:50

I actually choked on my coffee at "between Bingo Wings and Adolph." :o

This is so bizarre and amazing.

TheGonnagle · 02/10/2014 18:54

WTAF is going on? THe sound cloud people seem normal, Balonz/warn/someothersockery seems a bit….unhinged? This is funny, the AIBU smacks of nasty bastardery.
I am all a bit Hmm

TheoGB · 02/10/2014 18:58

wantacatplease and you other wonderful MNers...

Apologies, this thewarn character has nothing to do with me (or, I'm sure, the original thewarn on our forum). I feel like an explorer who has unkowingly bestowed a hideous disease on to an indigenous population. SadSadSad

Oh Theo, it's alright, dear. As my GP said, a good dose of parasitic worms strengthens the gut.

SpaceStation · 02/10/2014 19:07

I thought it must be a pisstake because the surrey line was just too good to be true! Comedy genius.

But I'm soooo disappointed because Balonz is such a great bane, but Data for a girl is even better! I genuinely like them, especially Data. OK Balonz is too mad, but it's still cool. 100yo Balonz from Surrey is a real person in my head now.
