She mad lady.

MrsMattie · 01/04/2008 18:48

Willow Wylie...pantomime name! Hilarious.

3andnomore · 01/04/2008 18:51

Whilst I kinda like the name Willow...I don't think it works well with Wylie.

Tutter · 01/04/2008 18:53

Will Oh Why Ee

is how it will sound

loon

WanderingTrolley · 01/04/2008 18:53

Tell her not to do it.

Call the dd Kylie instead.

Tutter · 01/04/2008 18:54

in fact...

Will Oh Why Lee

Tutter · 01/04/2008 18:54

lol WT

yes Smiley Kylie Wylie

Sam100 · 01/04/2008 18:54

Or Riley if its a boy.

PeggySioux · 01/04/2008 18:57

I think it's fine.

WanderingTrolley · 01/04/2008 19:02

Oh dear - Peggy are you the friend?

Buda · 01/04/2008 19:05

NO! She can't do it. Far too many Ws.

A friend has just called her DD Willow and I like it but it doesn't work with Wylie.

LarryVeestAdamAntSpawnChorus · 01/04/2008 19:06

TBH honest I think you're being a bit rude putting her surname as well as her daughter's prospective name on here. I'd be pretty pissed off to think I was being talked about so openly. Unless of course you've warned her that you've put her daughters full name on the internet for ridicule constructive criticism?

LarryVeestAdamAntSpawnChorus · 01/04/2008 19:07

daughter's

VerJaiNah · 01/04/2008 19:09

How about Hazel, or Rowan?

Or if it's a particularly refluxy baby, Sycamore

Difficult to find a name that does sound that good with Wylie though

What abut Coyote?

PeggySioux · 01/04/2008 19:25

No, I'm not the friend.
I just suffer a sense of humour failure when people laugh at names that other people have chosen.

MadameCh0let · 01/04/2008 19:32

I don't like it but I don't hate it. I hate it with Wylie though!

I know a Willow, sister Bailey and tbh, I think the impression it gives is of a chav family who watches too much tv, but the family is not like that at all.

Willow Wylie is AWFUL.... Much worse that Moses Martin! (Gwyneth Paltrow's son).

To the OP - unless your friend has asked you to start this thread, I would ask for it to be deleted.

pointydog · 01/04/2008 20:51

Why are people so defensive about names on a message board? It's not as if we are personally attacking anyone. We don;t really know anyone's names.

LarryVeestAdamAntSpawnChorus · 01/04/2008 20:52

So you wouldn't be bothered if your friend posted your name on here, esp on a thread with dubious intentions?

Chuffinnora · 01/04/2008 20:55

I agree Larry - posting the potential full name and inviting people to judge is fine if it's your baby but I think you are mean to start this thread.

Chuffinnora · 01/04/2008 20:57

There was a situation very recently on here when a sil invited MNers to comment on a potential name and the mum found out about it and was very hurt.

pointydog · 01/04/2008 21:00

oh I see, the whole name of someone else's child. Yes, a bit mean.

Nighbynight · 01/04/2008 21:11

It is very rude to laugh at anyone's name, and hurtful too. I cringe when people post on mn "I know someone called..." cue laugh at ridiculous name.
