it can't be the numeral (eg has to be One, not 1), it must be English and natural numbers. Pi and i for example are banned (don;t ask why, I didn't wrtore the rules...Grin)

no abbreviations or portmantaeus, however hyphenation is allowed.

Pick a boy's name and a girl's name

my boy would be Five

my girl would be Nine or Seven

Six for a girl (after Six from Blossom) and twelve for a boy (for some reason it sounds a bit masculine)

There’s a character called Forty on You on Netflix. His twin sister is called Love.

If dh had his way one would be 007.
Dd would suit Eleven.
Billion would suit a boy (Billy for short)
Zillion would also work

Eleven or Seven for a girl

Seven and Thirteen, I think they are pretty unisex.

lunar1 · 31/05/2020 14:04

Also, anyone trying to register their child as sixty-nine should have their child removed and given to a nice family.

Kljnmw3459 · 31/05/2020 14:07

One Two Three.

Or Eleven for girl and Seven for boy
