Just seen a girl with this name on the new Blockbusters. Can't say I love it... but I'm surprised to say I don't hate it either!

Thoughts?

Oh no! As in molton rock or as my daughter just thought a fly larvae. Yuk

If you don’t live in the UK and speak a language where lava means something other than the stuff that erupts from volcanoes then I’m sure it’s no worse than any other name.

Makes me think of that scene in Bridesmaids where Melissa McCartney is sitting astride a sink...

"Shark Boy and Lava Girl"?

Great if your surname is Lamp.

No!

@PennyMordauntsLadyBrain hahahaha I can see why 😂 such a funny film!

I don't think the girl is of British heritage. The more I've heard it said the more I'm getting used to it. She did say something like "I've been told I have the attitude to match" in regards to her name.

My brother suggested Magma for my first daughter; he was serious!

Can’t wait until he has kids Grin

you made a typo and you meant Lana.

EWW makes me think of maggots!!

Larva: The active immature form of an insect, especially one that differs greatly from the adult and forms the stage between egg and pupa, e.g. a caterpillar or grub.
◦ an immature form of other animals that undergo some metamorphosis, e.g. a tadpole.

@Calixtine hahaha that's hilarious! 😂
The funniest sib set I ever heard was Axel and Wheeler! Nothing like Lava or Magma but I just remembered them!
