Do you reckon all these Tobermorys will just be known as Toby?

How is Cholet pronounced? Is it similar to Charlotte? If so then Cholet and Adelaide for girls and Tobermory for a boy.

SoupDragon · 28/07/2015 18:58

I think I would have twins called Adelaide & Alderney

Fridgedooropen · 28/07/2015 19:01

Tobermory or possibly Tomsk for a boy, Alderney for a girl. I'd forgotten how much I always liked it till reading this! Smile

InQuiteAPickle · 28/07/2015 19:03

Ah, well I still like it for a girl. Call her showy for short. Grin

LineRunner · 28/07/2015 19:07

Tomsk but I'd change my surname to Batt.

LastOneDancing · 28/07/2015 19:14

Alderney is lovely Blush

InQuiteAPickle · 28/07/2015 19:17

I'd get laughed out of my village if I called my child Alderney. It's the name of a Barratt house - I live across the road from an Alderney (house not child).
