Stepney

CherryBonBon · 28/07/2015 14:41

Adelaide was on my girls list anyway Grin .

SugarMiceInTheRain · 28/07/2015 14:41

Adelaide for a girl, Orinoco for a boy I reckon... :-)

Toptack · 28/07/2015 14:42

Tobermory. DS2 gets called it all the time anyway.

Madame Cholet Grin

HarrietSchulenberg · 28/07/2015 14:49

Tobermoray Grin

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 28/07/2015 14:50

Tomsk would be ok.

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 28/07/2015 14:51

Tobermory

Andcake · 28/07/2015 14:51

Cholet

ouryve · 28/07/2015 14:56

Since we have an initial theme, for the boys, it would have to be Orinoco.

RainyJuly · 28/07/2015 15:08

Bulgaria - it's just ahead of the new wave Uncle / Aunty names. (See previous discussions on Barbara.)

PandasRock · 28/07/2015 15:15

Tobermory and Adelaide are the obvious choices, although I am quite taken with Alderney.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/07/2015 15:23

Orinoco (I know a boy called Orin).

CakeRattleandRoll · 28/07/2015 15:24

Tobermory is actually quite smart.

Sparklingbrook · 28/07/2015 15:30

Ooh I couldn't use any of those they wouldn't 'go' with DS1's name or our surname. Apparently that is important.

BestIsWest · 28/07/2015 15:32

There's an Obidos? Ooh, I chose that.

BestIsWest · 28/07/2015 15:34

Ah, Obidos is the one in the poncho.

squoosh · 28/07/2015 15:38

Shansi has a cheeky little ring to it.

Love the Wombles.

Preminstreltension · 28/07/2015 15:49

I don't remember any of those last ones

But Tomsk is a good strong name - and Mme Cholet was obviously the feminine one with the flirty French accent so I'd go with those two.

00100001 · 28/07/2015 15:54

sparkling but you HAVE to use one! Grin

Orinoco! Imagine hollering that across the park!
Wonders what Katie Hopkins stance on womble naming is...

squoosh · 28/07/2015 15:58

You could also sing Orinoco Flow at little Orinoco.....not that anyone knows the lyrics to Orinoco Flow. Very mumbly is Enya.

Sparklingbrook · 28/07/2015 15:59

Ok , ok the least worst is Cholet.

00100001 · 28/07/2015 16:00

Orinoco!! Do come here and have your Crudities and Lentil Dip!!

Oh Orry.. you little tike, Mummy doesn't like it when you kick her shinny-shins!

Obviously my Cholet would be a boy. Just to be different.
