Why am I pregnant again ffs? Stupid Catholic upbringing. My body will an unsalvageable wreck and we will be living in penury for the next two decades.

Anyway. Need a girls name. I am utterly devoid of inspiration, being interested only in grab bags of Skips and having naps.

Already have an Agnes and an Enid. Surname Stephens.

Dislike: frilliness; 'ah' endings; 'classic' names.

Like: fabulous names. I was keen on Ramona the last go-round, but think I might have lost my love for it.

Any suggestions?

Vida - I like it.

Vena - No. Don't know why.

Vanessa- No. HR manager.

Venetia - No. Too horsey.

How about Harriet, nn Hats

MitzyLeFrouf · 25/05/2015 22:10

Well I'm an unoffended Irish Catholic, so not offensive to everyone.

Fanny - I almost want to like it Grin. I do really like Frances though.

Conceptua is nice (haven't RTFT!)
If you're looking for Biblical names, Ruth is lovely, or any variant of Eve or Mary (I am valiantly posting on, in the absence of RT whole Fucking T!).

calzone · 25/05/2015 22:16

Thank goodness! GrinGrin

calzone · 25/05/2015 22:16

But I really want you to go for Doris.

reuset · 25/05/2015 22:16

Well that doesn't say much about you I'm afraid, otherMitzi . The OP would receive a different reaction posting that sexist, outmoded claptrap on the main boards.

RickOShay · 25/05/2015 22:17

Do you like it?
Also like Valentina, but might be a little on the poncy side for you.

Heidi122 · 25/05/2015 22:17

What does "too North London" mean??? Grin

MitziKinsky · 25/05/2015 22:17

I'm off to name change soon, not now.

I will be back to my usual posting name tomorrow, reuset. It would be silly to post on the same thread under a different name, now wouldn't it. You seem to be the only offended Catholic here. And what has your nationality or heritage got to do with your being offended?

And why are you even posting of the thread when you don't have anything constructive to contribute? If you really believe the OP is offensive, maybe just report it to MN?

Vera.

calzone · 25/05/2015 22:18

My Mum was going to be called Lesbia........

MitziKinsky · 25/05/2015 22:19

MitzyLeFrouf isn't otherMitzy....I'm otherMitzy! Grin

OhMyActualDays · 25/05/2015 22:20

I know a brilliant take-no-prisoners Vida... I wonder if it is the same one! Grin

MitzyLeFrouf · 25/05/2015 22:21

reuset I'm really not bothered as to your opinion of me. The fact of the matter is is that any Catholic is more than entitled to be less than reverential towards the religion they were brought up in.

I suggest you learn how to deal with it as your prim outrage will wear you out.

reuset · 25/05/2015 22:22

I was pointing out that I was Catholic too. I'll mention my nationality if I see fit (minus any attached stereotypes or sexism Wink )

Oh I do believe I have contributed something constructive. I dislike casual (any) sexism, and outmoded stereotypes of that nature and will speak out.

MitzyLeFrouf · 25/05/2015 22:22

Mitzi we can be the Zwei Mitz-ei.

MaureenMacnally · 25/05/2015 22:23

I really like Vita!

Valentina...not so much Grin
