Heard this recently (girl) and can't decide if it's bad-good or bad-bad.

I've been to Cuba, but I suspect the mother in question hasn't!!

I find the association with cigars a little difficult to get past

So sorry..reminds me of the flip flop make I actually had to google it because I thought that's what they were called Blush

Havana good time!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/02/2017 22:12

No, sorry.

BiscuitMillionaire · 24/02/2017 22:16

You Havana laugh?

Strokethefurrywall · 24/02/2017 22:41

Are the parent UK based?
I know a baby Havana but we live about 80 miles south of Cuba.

I love it but then I associate the name with the baby I know and she's uber-cute!

Makes me think of thick heavy choking cigar smoke.

PlymouthMaid1 · 24/02/2017 23:31

Havana laugh aren't they?

PlymouthMaid1 · 24/02/2017 23:31

Havana laugh aren't they?

Iflyaway · 24/02/2017 23:35

Havana a laugh, yea?

Poor child will be mercilessly teased.

Oh, see Plymouth had the same idea.. :-)

ummlilia · 24/02/2017 23:38

Ouch -it's my granddaughter's name. I was a bit 'surprised' by it myself ...Hmm

Ordinarily · 25/02/2017 00:15

Cigars.

Faez · 25/02/2017 00:18

Mmm rum

reuset · 25/02/2017 10:57

It's bad, OP.

llangennith · 25/02/2017 10:58

My first thought was 'cigars'.

SovietKitsch · 25/02/2017 11:03

My DH suggested this the other day...erm, no, I said!

MrsMeeseeks · 25/02/2017 11:05

Wonder where you are based Umm and if it was your granddaughter I saw? She was with her sister (and mum) and her sister had a more conventional name.
