VictorianSqualor · 19/01/2008 14:42

NomDePlume · 19/01/2008 14:46

Erm nope. Sorry

It makes me think of sitcom cockney wannabe wideboys.

"Alright treacle ?" [seedy wink]

I know a child named Traekal, which in my head I always pronounce Treacle

I think it'd be like sending a lamb to the slaughter when they started school....

Bouncingturtle · 22/01/2008 15:08

Actually, if ds was a girl we were considering Plum Chutney

I really wouldn't.

Hassled · 22/01/2008 15:09

It's sort of OKish for a little girl - but as a 40 year old? Would she ever be taken seriously by anyone?

DrippingLizzie · 22/01/2008 15:09

My kids, Molasses and Demerara, think it's a lovely name.

LyraSilvertongue · 22/01/2008 15:10

It sounds a bit like a hooker name tbh...

S1ur · 22/01/2008 15:11

Ooh but if its next to Stone you could have all sorts!

Cherry? Rollin'?

Oliveoil · 22/01/2008 15:16

Yes of course

if you live in the middle of nowhere and plan to Home Ed

Ettenna · 22/01/2008 17:20

No, it's just not fair to lumber your child with Treacle. Are you serious?!

PurlyQueen · 22/01/2008 17:25

No. She will hate you when she is an adult. IMO only pets should be lumbered with icky names like Treacle or Honey.

CountessDracula · 22/01/2008 17:26

My friend has a cat called treacle

it is rather twee even for a cat tbh

peatbogfaerie · 22/01/2008 17:26

No no no no. Sorry. yr hormones are affecting yr otherwise outstanding judgement, VS.

LoveAngel · 22/01/2008 17:27

Noooooo! Reminds me of Frank Butcher flirting with Pat.

MrsBadger · 22/01/2008 17:28
