Hi all, what do you think of Fontanelle for a girl?

Nice try!

justamumof1 · 21/05/2020 06:49

Sounds like a ready made dessert

The soft spot on your baby’s skull? Confused

Your child needs that name like she needs a hole in the head!

Toilenstripes · 21/05/2020 06:50

Uhm, that’s the technical name for a baby’s soft spot.

Wombatstew · 21/05/2020 06:50

Fontanelles are the soft spot on baby's head where the skull bones have not yet fused together. Not a name for a baby, no.

GuppytheCat · 21/05/2020 06:50

As a sister for Temple, perhaps?

Maxilla is nicer.

worstwitch18 · 21/05/2020 06:51

Goes well with Balonz.

KuckFnows · 21/05/2020 06:51

It's not April fools day!

I thought you said Villanelle at first. Love that but then my girl crush is Jodie Comer!

Random body parts could bdd Ed a rich seam of names;

Trochanter
Cerebella
Occipita
Masseteric
Vagus (a winner?)

GuppytheCat · 21/05/2020 07:00

I do know an Ilia

NameChange84 · 21/05/2020 07:00

It’s ok but it’s not in the same league as Scrotum or Areola.

BackstreetsBackALRITE · 21/05/2020 07:03

What about Phalange? Grin

Westfacing · 21/05/2020 07:04

Cerebella Grin

SiaPR · 21/05/2020 07:07

Dauphinoise is much nicer. Pronounced dwarf and arse. Beautiful.

MichaelMumsnet · 21/05/2020 08:16

Sigh. We'll take this one down in a mo.

Pity - it was shaping up to be fun

missmouse101 · 21/05/2020 08:34

Yes, cheering puns are good! How about Iris, Femoral and Pinna?

caribooshriek · 21/05/2020 08:35

Oh no! It's so much fun, though!Grin

caribooshriek · 21/05/2020 08:35

Or Anus Maximus?

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 21/05/2020 08:36

Grin would go nicely with Patella?

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 21/05/2020 08:37

Retina-nn Tina for a girl.

Hmmm it's beginning to grow on me

missmouse101 · 21/05/2020 08:38

Follicle sounds like a cheeky toddler...

ElectricTonight · 21/05/2020 08:38

Perineum - Perri for a NN?
