Just got back from the park where we met a child called Tiara. Obviously I can't vouch for the spelling but thought all you expectant mummies would be dying to add that one to your lists...

Y'see I've always thought Linoleum and Syphilis were very pretty names.

When we were in Devon a few months ago I heard a woman scream call her daughters name across the street - it was Alaska.

For a brief moment I wondered if she was named after the place she was conceived but then, after hearing the mum effing and blinding about how cold it was I guessed that wasn't the case.

MadameC that is very classy and I like the way it's a combination of Ruby and Ella. If DH & I ever stop snarling at each other and manage to conceive another child who has the fortune to be a girl please may we use it?

I am hearing the word 'baked'hanging inthe air before it.

I met a woman at a mums and tots group and she has children, Alabbama and Zebbedee. And she was actually really nice and normal. Her name was Elizabeth. God I shouldn't be typing this. Oh sod it, she told me she was emigrating. I just put extra bs in her children's names in case she ever googles them to see if people are taking the micky.

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:31

You have my blessing to use it! Sister Varicella ??

My dad was always a fan of Chlamydia as a name. SUCH a lucky escape.

Rumour has it there is a girl called Snow White living near me.

liking your thinking re the extra 'b's MadameCh0let (ps why is there an 0 in your name?)

I heard someone call their ds across the park the other day 'Zhivago, come here...'

sadly he didn't look like a big beardy Russian.

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:41

Only because somebody who never posts has beaten me to the name MadameCholet!

So I log on one day and there is a Madame Cholet and a MadameCh0let as well, it will be abs0lute cha0s!

harpomarx · 09/04/2008 22:42

how very dare she take your name!

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:42

Zhivago! oh my God. Dramatic, trendy, yooneek.. I like it more than I should.

kittywise · 09/04/2008 22:47

I've taught: a Calico-blue
A Hobie ( always reminded me of hobo)
Emanuel
Antasia (known as Tassy)

There are many, many others

harpomarx · 09/04/2008 22:48

not that i am obsessed or anything, but have just googled you to uncover reason for popularity of said name.

now I see... had forgotten all about her

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:54

hee hee, They were well ahead of their time those wombles. They were talking about recycling as early as 1969. Plus, I used to live quite near wimbledon..... Hence MadameCholet. I also do far too much cooking.

Nothing beats Fukarada

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 22:56

The nut roast looks good... I'll make that and the children can say bleurghghgh. They'll enjoy that.

I worked for a pre-school activity company where I got to hear a huge variety of interesting names. We had a very international (and quite posh) clientele so many names were just unusual because they were foreign. However, there was a family living in Islington whose eldest child was called something really very normal and middle class but his younger sibling was called Disney...
