They're suggesting Veruca??

[Elbi]

Guys, this name list. thestir.cafemom.com/pregnancy/207174/brand_new_baby_girl_names Can't tell if it's supposed to be serious. I fear it is.

Not sure why the link isn't linking. Try again - thestir.cafemom.com/pregnancy/207174/brand_new_baby_girl_names

haha I saw this the other day too and my face got increasingly more as I read through it

I don't think it means the foot virus in America, it's just a name there so if the site is based there...

They missed a trick. I think 'Pustule' has a similar vibe but nicer ring to it.

Yikes, they're all pretty awful (thatcher???), except for Pippi which is a normal name and randomly thrown in there amongst all the insanity!

Lovely, you could have Veruca Bubonic to really finish it off nicely.

Sounds like someone read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and didn't get the joke

not quite the same, but I did see a boat named Candida once.

Melanin? Linux? Caliber?

The world has gone bananas.

(I quite like Hestia, and Iseult.)

How can they have beautiful names like Iseult, which is hardly brand new, with horrors like Melanin. "Ooh hello Mel what's your name short for - Melanie? Melody maybe?" "Nah, it's Melanin, my parents were hipster idiots "

I've met several Candida's - it's quite posh apparently!

There was a Candida in Pulp.

The first one sounds like how my little sister used to pronounce magazine

I actually know an Anakin, but as did the rest of the suggestions-flipping heck!!!

I was trying to work out if it was a piss-take too, Elbi but I'm thinking it's not!!

Names that no one else will have. No shit Sherlock.

I always think Chlamydia would make a pretty name...

Yeah Freezer I quite like Hestia too! Just a bit meh on the meaning.

I liked Hestis.

But - Zeplyn - the flying bombs in WW2 - great name

whoops - Hestia I mean

Reminds me of ' Shirley Valentine' when she says she likes Clitoris for a name...after all plenty of men walking around called Dick!!
