...Cedar or Cameo.

Whether it's a boy or a girl

Now that's two of the most unusual names I've heard for a while. Whaddya think?

Dod you not perform a Citizen's Arrest immediately?

All I can think of when I hear Cameo is a man in the mid eighties wearing a leather codpiece.
All together now..... 'word up, its what they say'

Boco · 31/03/2008 21:21

That's just what I thought! Word up!

Sidge · 31/03/2008 21:24

Me too Solitaire, I remember the red codpiece!

I just smiled and said "oh, how unusual"

Honest to god

What the hell are you all on about?

hecate · 31/03/2008 21:29

you have to hit her with this, at once.

Beauregard · 31/03/2008 21:30

Ahh i see now yes Cameo

"Word up"

Dragonbutter · 31/03/2008 21:30

I actually like Cedar.
But i like nature names.
I can't help it.

Solitaire · 31/03/2008 21:32

To return to the original thread. What you have to consider is what a Cedar or a Cameo are going to face at school. No not pretty. Even worse a sulky teenage Cedar or Cameo

Solitaire · 31/03/2008 21:33

Mind you, didn't Cameo also have diamonds on his codpiece. Sorry, its a thought that suddenly grabbed me

Boco · 31/03/2008 21:36

Did Cameo do that one about 'we don't have to take our clothes off, to have a good time, oh yeah' or was that someone else.

That was both a catchy tune, and an important message.

Sidge · 31/03/2008 21:38

I found it! I found it!

Check it out laydeez, the codpiece in all it's glory is right here for your viewing pleasure

Boco no that was Jermaine Stewart.

Another great choon

How is Cedar any different from Hazel or Fern?

LynetteScavo · 31/03/2008 21:43

Is it me, or was that Cameo video extremly camp?

Actually, I don't think the name Cedar is too bad.

Solitaire · 31/03/2008 21:43

thank for that Sidge, i was boogying round the computer, forget the dodgy dress sense, it was a great song

Boobalina · 31/03/2008 21:45

'Now pretty ladies around the world'....

Cameo - how terribly bling and street (adopts clipped Daily Mail reader voice)

Sidge · 31/03/2008 21:47

Dragonbutter - I suppose it's not really is it? But when she first said it I misheard it as Cider. So when she said no, Cedar, I thought oh it's not too bad.

But I still can't get the image of the red codpiece out of my head with Cameo. Must be my age.

The difference between Cedar and Hazel or Fern is that if you are called Hazel or Fern, nobody's going to say "What was that?" "How do you spell that?" "Sorry, didn't catch that" "That's unusual" "Oh, I've never heard that before" "Cedar - like the tree?" or some variation on the theme every single time you introduce yourself for the rest of your life!
