Yes or no? 👣

I'm thinking something like Tanto Atteso (Tess for short, obviously) would have been good.

I would suggest a big no to both...

Battleax · 20/11/2017 02:37

Go for it. What could go wrong?

HateSummer · 20/11/2017 02:44

It’s lovely. Really nice names, big yes from me!

JoieDeFuckingVivre · 20/11/2017 02:54

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid. Hoe do you pronounce the P name?

Dolwar · 20/11/2017 03:22

I don't understand what is the first name or surname etc but it's a big no to all of them as first names

OtterInDisgrace · 20/11/2017 03:25

I think maybe Profitella might be a good one. Tells it like it is.

DancingOnParsnips · 20/11/2017 03:53

Otter? Don't understand, was it a Picolax advert?

Sorry, parsnips. I thought this was an ironic thread and you were taking the piss out of Zoella. I’m genuinely sorry if you really wanted to call your kid Poella

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 20/11/2017 05:20

otter it's ironic but it's not about Zoella it's a reference to this

We've been awaiting the arrival of young pooella.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/11/2017 06:58

Without meaning to be rude.

What the fresh hell is Poella.

ChequeredPasta · 20/11/2017 07:05

Another one who clicked on thinking this was a Zoella pisstake.
Poella is awful. Awful.
Just....awful.

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 20/11/2017 08:06

babyspider look at my post above yours it explains pooella

pasta what pooella is an awful name for literally a shit?!?!

Roussette · 20/11/2017 08:19

Please NO to Poella I honestly scrolled down and thought it was a thread for Paella which is why I clicked on it as I like cooking paella. Don't saddle a DC with that awful name.

DancingOnParsnips · 20/11/2017 09:33

Naught I'd give up if I were you! Let them enjoy the outrage Grin

Isn't the spelling Paella?

FizzyGreenWater · 20/11/2017 22:41

Knee jerk reaction is that it sounds too much like patella

PartyRat · 20/11/2017 22:44

Sounds like polenta to me

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 21/11/2017 08:31

No the spelling is pooella

I clicked on this thinking it was a recipe for paella Wink

ArcheryAnnie · 21/11/2017 09:19

Useful names if you have quintuplets:

Poella
Paella
Polenta
Patella
and Pam.

(I quite like Pam, though.)

MollyHuaCha · 21/11/2017 09:21

Love it.

drspouse · 21/11/2017 09:25

I'm thinking of Piella in Wallace and Gromit.
