Button

[Mrsknackered]

Posted a while ago about an insta mummy blogger type person calling her baby Gravity. The more I said it, the more I liked it

I've been stalking looking at lots of Instagrams today, and seen a little baby in America called Button. I thought it was maybe a nickname, but no there was a birth announcement for baby Button.
Again, I've said it so much that it's really grown on me probably a good thing I won't be having anymore children

I think Ferret is a wonderful name for a baby.
Thank goodness I'm post menopausal

I've always felt this way about Pebbles.

But I feel justified by the fact that Pebbles has Pebbles Flintstone as a namesake.

Baby button

... like in a pantomime?

Puss in Boots?

I take it you aren't serious anyway?

So was Gravity specific or not?
I think I'd prefer Gravitas; it has a certain... umm.... I'll get my coat.

Widget and Gubbins are also lovely and underused.

Er, no. Names for cats and dogs!

If you had twins they could be button and zip

I like it! I think give them a more standard middle name so they can use that when they get sick of it though.

Button is truly dreadful.

When I have twins they will be ugly sister one and ugly sister two.

Beagle I went to school with a Pebbles! Cover teachers always thought she was taking the mickey when she'd say her name.

Oh, Zip's nice too. Button and Zip, I think are the nicest fastening names. Hookeye, popper and Velcro don't have the same ring.

I knew twins that had button and noodle as middle names.
I guess it could've been worse

The nicest fastening name is Toggle, surely.

Ecclesiastes you're being incredibly wise this week.

The triplets, Gravitas, Caritas and Dignitas.

If you like it so much, why not change your own name to it and see how you get on in real life with it?

Homebird , I'd feel a bit sorry for Dignitas. Might get a few unwanted calls meant for the Switzerland office ...

Ta, Battle. I am known for it.

I think Ferret is a wonderful name for a baby.

Yes! Triplets could be Ferret, Weasel and Stoat.

I've always thought Scarlett, Amber and Jade would be a good set of names - like having your own traffic lights.

As for Button - would be problematic if he/she met someone with koumpounophobia. Just saw on Google that Steve Jobs had it and this explains how/why he developed touch screens.

Gasp a good friend of mines Mum has koumpounophobia, her teenage brother set his mum's lock screen to a picture of a button when she wouldn't let him on his console - she had to go round there and change it for her

I love Toggle.

According to some American TV shows I have seen, button seems to sometimes be used as a euphemism for butthole...

You might be right Esker. Then again the triplets I never had were going to be Doc, Prof and Rev so perhaps Dignitas might have a ready made career too?

Hookeye, popper and Velcro don't have the same ring

Especially when you do that thing where you muddle up your kids names and call them Popeye and Hooker.
