What is the ultimate mumsnetty baby name?

[DNAshelicase]

What would you say is the peak mumsnet baby name? What would Ms ‘tinkly laugh/no is a full sentence’ call her PFB?

I think I’m correct in saying:

girl: Elspeth (always suggested, why?!)
boy: Jago

Ptolemy

I totally love the Ms ‘tinkly laugh/no is a full sentence’ thing.

I love the batshittery of controlling the nn. I’d love to see a real mumsnetter birth a Rebecca nn ‘keekee’ and silently seethe as her school friends shout ‘BECKEHH’ across the playground

One of the boy/girl name pairings is what we nearly named our twins!

Plus the fact that we have twins.... am I #peakMN???

Just to clarify, I'm not saying I don't believe that anyone is called Ottilie, I just mean that it gets suggested so often on here that I'd expect to have come across one or two little Ottilies at the playground or nursery by now.

Catherine

Christopher

I know an Otillie and a Kit (short for Christopher)

My daughter’s friends include Clementine, Eleanora, Avery, Daisy and Carlotta. We often joke them come from a back catalogue of Debutantes.

These were my thoughts, too!

My immediate thought was Ottilie too. Also Maeve, Elspeth and Elowen seem to get a lot of mentions.

For boys, anything ending in O. Theo, Hugo etc.

I actually do know an adult Christopher nn Kit.

Ottilie! Never heard of it in real life, sounds like something you use to clean your ears, but somehow always suggested on here.

Arlo
Esme

Well sod you all, almost all of my favoruite names mentioned - except my actual DC names, yet.

I would think Arabella for a girl, Theo for a boy. They get mentioned a fair bit on here. I do Kits across generations, I thought it was fairly standard nickname!

I like most of these and we have a lot of them at our nursery! I like to think I am peak mumsnet but alas DD’s name hasn’t featured yet. I feel the need to take to my bed and wallow in self pity…..

Alice Elizabeth & Matilda Isabel

Edward Alexander & Hugo James

@Baconand only if you've changed your sheets this week, and not left them to dry in the dark, of course.

I definitely thought Ottilie, never actually come across one despite DS's nursery being particularly full of Mumsnetty names including a Ptolemy (nn Tolly)

Oh shite like Kit, Posie, Arlo

Kayden...Jayden... (joking!!) 😉 😉 😉

Atticus

Dear lord ha

I'd murder my parents if they had called me Persephone. Poor kid.

Ottillie
Gabriel/Raphael/Ruben

Jane- absolutely beautiful.... no. It's not
Boy names like Michael, John etc

Alice or Esme for a girl.
Oliver or Zephyr for a boy
