Did anybody see Tuppence Harmony in the UK birth announcements yesterday?

[MadameCh0let]

Whaddyall think? Lovely alternative to Florence or is it bl00dy awful?

I don't absolutely hate it. I've heard worse. Penny is a possible nn.

Actually, I object more to the middle name, Harmony.

Yup, tuppence is a fanjo (I'm from Manchester).

Wonder if anyone's ever been called Fanjo?

Tuppence is an Agatha Christie detective.

I know a Norah Harmony. Tuppence is strange.

I still love Poppy Button, once mentioned on MN

Im Manchester too.

I always used to giggle at the song on Mary Poppins ...

'Feed the birds... tuppence a bag, tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag'

Actully I still do

I did!
I giggled
I've heard a fanjo called a tuppence as well

tuppence is a fanjo

Never heard the fanny thing.

I like it. Particularly Tuppence.

Gosh. My friend's sister is called Tuppence. It's not really her name but what she goes by, even professionally. Hope she doesn't work with many people from Manchester...

it is ringing bells with me too. wonder if it is the same one?

It's naff, people.

I can't believe some people don't know a tuppence is a fanjo, lol.

And to call your child it, oh its just awful!

Its like calling your son sammyscrotum or something.

I know a tuppence and she is always called Tuppy. It always reminds me of tupping

Tuppence Harmony kind of means Happy Fanjo. Which would be quite a nice name too.

Never thought tuppence meant anything more than 2p, but then I have always referred to a 'front bottom' as a vagina. We call a vagina a vagina where I come from. (SW London)

We don't even have vaginas where I come, never mind naming them!! So brazen, such sinners.

We use Tuppence for fanjo too (Devon)

I googled fanjo name and chortle chorle rofl found this a group on myspace called that man fanjo. That Man Fanjo consists of Mark Fannin. He has a guitar, and he has a voice.`. I doubt he has a fanjo. A man who calls himself Fanjo.

Ii was sort of hoping for someone called fanjo, or Fanny-jo...but no, thank goodness.

I cant link....sorry, no idea how to...

I want to hate the name tuppence Harmony....but I cant bring myself to not like it. She will have to live up to a name like that though. Kind of reminds me of the fanjo farting threads, which is kind of unfortunate...

Utterly ridiculous name.

i think tuppence is a sweet name. . . .

nether the less - it is a name for a fanjo round here too!![devon]

What a relief to find I'm not the only person who scours the birth announcements.

It's DUMB, people.

UK Birth Announcments?

Eh?

Tuppence was our family word for Poo.

That's ghastly. My first cat was called Tuppence...because she was in a right old mess when a newly born kitten and the farmer's wife said, 'Oh I can't be bothered to name that one, she's not worth tuppence'. so that was her name. [random] lived to the grand old age of 20 however [/random]

Agree that it's a fanjo name.
