Boden is really not the worse name I’ve heard. I know a child called Rocket.

I used to be on a different forum (not nethuns) when I first got pregnant. A woman was going to call her child Ocean Adventure. Apparently the in-laws were up in arms about it. They said she was having a baby, not a round the world yacht Grin From what I remember she stuck to her guns and called her ds that.

@bumfuzzled

I remember Ocean Adventure, we was due at the same time so in the same group. She definitely did stick to her guns, I remember the posts!

One of the American instacelebs has a lovely baby girl called Senna. Like the laxitive Hmm.

Name snobbery is so tedious. Live and let live.

Why would anybody give the teeniest tiny shit about what other people call their own DC?

Also spoiler: I have baby rats right now so teeny tiny shits are plentiful.

Meh.

It's not so bad.

Creepster · 18/11/2019 00:21

I think Yikes is a poor choice for a name for a person.

toomuchisneverenough · 18/11/2019 00:26

I used to really like this name though spelt Beauden there's a all blacks player called Beauden Barrett.

What's so bad about it?

Marcipex · 18/11/2019 00:28

It’s a nice strong name.
I know a boy called Angel and a girl called Mona. Much worse imo

Boden is the surname of the chap who established Boden clothing range. It’s an American thing using surnames for first names though - although it’s becoming quite popular in the UK.

@Bumfuzzled and @Slappadabass, Ocean Adventure has a little brother now with a matching name. I won't include it but if you go to the baby names group on that other site and search Ocean Adventure, you'll find it.

Omashu · 18/11/2019 06:25

I really like it!

Omashu · 18/11/2019 06:27

There were 70+ Khaleesi’s last year Confused

showmewhatyougot · 18/11/2019 06:32

I know a child called "Lay'C'ee - Ma'E"

There are much worse then Boden.

Euromillsplz · 18/11/2019 07:00

Surely that's just the brand name on the hat??? Not his name?

HengistburyHeadBeach · 18/11/2019 07:06

Isn't it op?!

isthismylifenow · 18/11/2019 07:17

I know a Kia, I don't think its an odd name. She is in her late 20s now so don't think was named after the car. Grin

Senna, Boden, are normal names.

I did also see the youtube video of Ssst (Forrest) Grin. It cannot be real surely.

Milo90 · 18/11/2019 07:19

If you think that's bad... Amber Rose clearly crazy. ...

katewhinesalot · 18/11/2019 07:28

I'm desperate to know the name of Ocean Adventures little brother.

isthismylifenow · 18/11/2019 07:31

Slash Electric.... Shock

Grin
BillywilliamV · 18/11/2019 07:37

My twinz are called Shitz and Gigglez, putting “z” in any name is COOL!!

GaaaaarlicBread · 18/11/2019 07:44

At least he’s not called plum like a poor kid on another thread here 😀😅

Elderflower14 · 18/11/2019 07:45

Brooke Vincent from Corrie has named her son Mexx... 🤔 🤔 🤔
That child is either going to spend his whole life saying "No not Max... Mexx... No two xs!!" Or get called Tex Mex...

Sagradafamiliar · 18/11/2019 07:47

Mexx is the only name that's had me Confused...can't imagine picking it. But I'm not Brooke Vincent.

I know a Rusty. Not a nn.
