i PROMISED myself i wouldnt post about names but........

[iliketosleep]

me and dp were talking about it last night and hes determined that this baby, if its a girl, will be called...........paris

I dont like it

i like pretty names like harriet, megan, abigail etc

paris isnt very pretty to me, its blonde ugly and slags about

can anyone suggest any names that are inbetween??

save my poor child lol

Yes, I did point out that Paris was a man's name in mythology, but got ignored. I don't think anyone believes us

I wonder what "Kiki" thinks of her name.

my nephew is Paris

would love to know cote's kids' names.

sorry, didn't see this earlier. and apologies for hijack ilts.
yes, he'll soon be in next one up so that's no prob. the buckle sits against the side of the seat, which is bad isn't it?
though, dp has just informed me that he wants a new car anyway so maybe we;'ll just have to get one that fits the car seat lol

Paris, or possibly Parys, was a character (male) in Home and Away, lol!

"Parys", sure, why not?
I fully expect that to be spelled in an 'inventive' way in the near future by those of us wishing to bestow a 'unique' name on our offspring

I've got a thing for pretty girl names atm.

I like Lillith (or is it Lilith?)
Rosalie
Araminta Yes I know! But shortened to minty, love it.
Meredith

My mum used to nurse an Indian lady called Sukey and she was a gorgeous gorgeous lady.

Listen to Hatrick, she is queen of great names IMO.

I Know someone with a lovely little girl called Lilith, and her baby is Alethea (Thea for short)

Names are cute for a baby but when that baby is 25 and going for a job interview, it's not so cute anymore.

I wouldn't give a job to a kitty, kiki, paris or danni-ella, no matter how well qualified for the job they were.

Sorry.

I like the name Dulcie for a girl!!

but by the time they're going for jobs all that generation will be used to those names!
then again,I wouldn't want to have an employer that was so narrow-minded and ignorant that they would base their opinion of me on my name. that's pretty crap quite frankly.

Kitty has long been a shortened version of Katherine etc, it isn't a new cutesy name at all.

now he's on about bill for a boy

the surname will be williams

bill williams

erm nope!!! my poor child

DH is a headhunter. He says HR managers do eliminate candidates of "teenage popstar" names sight unseen. Apparently most are convinced that it gives an infallible insight into one's background. A bit about the obvious unfairness of this all (not the kid's fault his mum thought 'originality' would be an asset) but something to remember. Unless of course your kids will inherit such wealth that they can pick and choose employers

iliketosleep - Tell DH not to name the poor kid a nickname. If he wants to call the kid Bill, then he should name him William. 'William Williams'. Bet he won't go for that

Sorry, haven't got time to read whole thread, but you might like to mention to your dp that Paris is a boy's name. Surely he doesn't want to give his dd a boy's name....

Will google you some proof...

lmfao thats the best idea i've ever heard hahahahaha

thats cheered me up no end and i really feel like crap today

See here, and here (complete with picture of person with willy, just to make the point , and here, and here (where he is a bloke with an effeminate hairstyle ).

PMSL @ Janitor...

I'm simply being honest and I am not alone in my opinions. You have to consider the service being provided by your company and the image you want to give your clients/partners.
